As usuall, I have a lot to say regarding this. So, get some coffie... Back? Ok, let's get started shall we?

(My points are in no specific order)

A) "So can you explain to me why some random user's bot is allowed on the Wiki, but Sajuuk's is for some reason not? I don't know, that sounds a little unfair to me." SuperSajuukdid not recieve permison to use his bot, that is the crux of the issue there. He simply used it. Corey is not actually some random user, but an admin on the Community wiki. Wikia is far more than just our wiki, and as an admin on the Community wiki Corey is a member of this wiki. More over the Community wiki is intended as the place where all of the wikis meet. That way members from the various parts of Wikia can be a whole, which is greater than the some of its parts. By offering us the use of his bot Corey is very much so "just doing his job". How so? Simple, the bot of a non-TESwiki member who is an admin on Wikia can be trusted and used without any politics. This should tell us something my friends, that the wikia powers and community feel that we need such a solution. Think on that. Uh, what? First of all, Sajuuk did not use his bot! He had a bot account for other Wikis, and added some template to it's profile on this one, that is not "using" it. Please stop claiming he used it without permission.

Also, the thing you're discussing is the core issue, why does Sajuuk not get authorisation to use HIS bot, but Corey does? They're both bots that could be used to help the community, as far as I know they have minor differences to them. The double-standard comes in from the community for whatever reason is totally okay with Corey someone we hardly know, and is likely not well-versed on this Wiki using his bot here. But Sajuuk who is staff AND is well-known around the Wiki, is rejected for practically nothing, it's ridiculous if you ask me. Just because Corey is part of Wikia does NOT mean he is more knowledgable than anyone else! Sajuuk should have asked to use the bot/use AWB beforehand just to let the admins know. A ban was unnecessary as a warning would have sufficed. Corey doesn't get a free pass, he asked us if he could use the bot.
