I am going to start a new bot called 360Bot, and I need approval from the community first. The tasks I will do is very similar to what LoopingStar did. If approved, the first task it will do is to remove the category Experient from pages. It will use AutoWikiBrowser. What do you guys think? --Bloonstdfan360 (Transit center!) 20:25, January 2, 2014 (UTC)

No, please no. LoopingStar was awful and caused no end of problems for the site. I would really not recommend doing anything as the pages seem fine as they are.MrLogos (talk) 21:18, January 2, 2014 (UTC)
It would seem that LoopingStar's owner, Lachlan5963, has been blocked. However, the entry showing his block was missing from the log (it said I blocked him in December 2012 for two weeks, and that was the most recent entry - but that block had expired, and he'd edited as recently as March 2013, before presumably being reblocked,as his user page said he was currently blocked). In light of this, LoopingStar has also been blocked. There was a couple of edits on the LoopingStar account last month which was more than likely block evasion as it didn't seem to be bot edits - bots don't upload images.  Digifiend  Talk  PR/SS  KR  MH  Toku  JD  Garo  TH  CG  UM  Logos  CLG  DW  22:02,2/1/2014 
What I meant was what LoopingStar did before the block evasion. --Bloonstdfan360 (Transit center!) 22:26, January 2, 2014 (UTC)
LoopingStar also made some errors. I check for errors before going fully automatic. Bloonstdfan360 (Transit center!) 22:44, January 2, 2014 (UTC)
To be fair, there were about 75 article using that category, not that much really, a human could do it with AWB. I've made two tests with AWB, which seem fine.1 / 2. -- [[ axg //  ]] 23:43, January 2, 2014 (UTC)
