slakr's life is currently frolicking with chaos, so his activity and response times to queries will be highly variable.
Leave a message and he will respond whenever he gets a chance— that is, assuming he gets a chance. Cheers =)
zOMG!!! I need urgent assistance!!!1!!banana?kiwi?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Comment

Regarding slakr:

Why did my page get deleted? Please see Misplaced Pages:Why was my page deleted? first. I have no idea what you're talking about. What's vandalism? If you received a warning from me and you're not logged in, you might have gotten an old warning I sent to someone who shares your IP address. On the other hand, if you've made recent edits and received a recent warning message from me and you genuinely believe that it's not vandalism, don't fret-- simply drop me a message below, because I could have simply made a silly mistake. :)

Regarding SineBot:

Why does SineBot keep signing stuff I've already signed? All comments should have a signature that includes both a link to your user page (slakr) and a datestamp (05:12, 20 August 2007 (UTC)) (per signatures - internal links). This is most easily generated by placing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your contributions, which makes something like "slakr 05:12, 20 August 2007 (UTC)".

If you have an interwiki-linked user page, consider either creating a user page on enwiki that redirects to your preferred home wiki or simply opting out of automatic signing.

If you're still having problems after trying that, post a message below. Be sure to include diffs to make sure I can reference the problem. I don't want my comments signed by SineBot. How do I get it to ignore me or my talk page? Please use one of the opt-out methods listed on its user page. SineBot forgot to sign something it should have signed. Usually this happens because the bot isn't sure if it really should sign something, so it defaults to not signing it (e.g., in cases of complex edits). It does this to avoid being annoying. Other times, a comment might be made when the bot is down for maintenance, so the bot simply never sees it. SineBot signed something that it genuinely should not have signed. Please let me know-- especially if you think it's not a one-time thing. Be sure to include diffs to make sure I can reference the problem. Is SineBot's source code available? Not currently. I'm signing with four tildes (~~~~) but it's still saying I didn't! You likely enabled raw signatures. Open your preferences, click the "User profile" tab, make sure that "Treat the above as wiki markup" is NOT checked, and click Save; it should be fixed. If you have an interwiki-linked user page, consider either creating a user page on enwiki that redirects to your preferred home wiki or simply opting out of automatic signing.

T1

Hey Slakr, just to let you know I've opened a new, more widely advertised discussion about T1 - I hope it's what you were looking to see. It's located at Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion#Removal_of_T1_redux. Dcoetzee 03:13, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Unblocking

Thanks for unblocking me! I promise not to listen to any of moot's vandalism plans anymore. I was lucky you saw my unblocking request before the admin that blocked me did, since he doesn't believe me. Anyway, thanks again. It feels great to be back and contributing! --Koala (talk) 17:26, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

The tone of your bot

Those autosigning bots could be a bit more polite.

But when I know how an encyclopedia should be, your current practice is the most formal one. What do you think? --Iceblock (talk) 15:47, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
In regards to the bot as well as proxy lists and ops in general, I have posted an ANI thread (permalink). Feel free to comment if you wish. ~ Troy (talk) 23:10, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
In general, it can cause an edit conflict if you are too late when you want to fix it yourself. For example in a heated AfD debate. Iceblock (talk) 14:26, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

ProcseeBot Source

Hi Slakr! ProcseeBot looks very useful. We don't like proxies over at YourWiki, so we're currently manually blocking large lists of proxies. Do you think it would be possible to let us have a copy of the source code so we could run the bot on our site also? If you were to let us, we would of course respect any license terms that you would set out for us (keeping the source private, etc). Thanks, cmelbye (/c) 00:40, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, but no. You're welcome to scrape the IPs from its block log however. --slakr 04:34, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
