This bot has been blocked for 48 hours to permit its owner to explain why it labels sourced articles as hoaxes. If no such explanation is forthcoming and, when the block expires, it continues to disrupt the project it should be indefinitely blocked. --Brian McNeil / talk 11:27, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Should this user be unblocked?
Should this user be unblocked?

Brianmc has reviewed HespalBot's request to be unblocked, and the result was declined.
The reason given by Brianmc was: This is a rogue bot which is unapproved. It has been witnessed applying the {{hoax}} template to well-sourced articles, an action which can be considered highly disruptive. I am now going to extend the block to indefinite as 'whoever' is operating this account has shown no interest in working with the community and explaining themselves..
Further debate can proceed here, however, the administrator's decision may be final, and the result of administrative consensus.
