::::Yea us on the Wiki team still request you to edit normally, and avoid scripting stuff.
::::Using a script and a grammar checking tool together breaks the updated Bot Policy, and continued use may risk further blocks.
::::Thank you for reading.-[[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 11:40, September 1, 2021 (EDT)

== RE: Second block ==
Hi, you've been blocked from editing for six months, due to ignoring several repeated requests not to move pages without first consulting members of staff prior. In general, your lack of willingness to communicate be it via Discord or through even ''replying'' to messages has been very frustrating to try and work with - especially given how frequent (and often unnecessary) your edits are - many of us on staff are still not fully convinced you aren't still using the same language software you were blocked for last time.
Overall, when your block is lifted, please try and be more co-operative with us. [[User:BaconShelf|<span style="color:green;">BaconShelf</span>]] <span style="font-size:90%">([[User:BaconShelf|talk]])</span> 18:17, September 10, 2021 (EDT)
:[[Special:Contributions/EthanGaming117|My edits]] are meant to be unnecessary but helpful. I would like the wiki to be as perfect as possible (by the way, can you split up your sentences next time? It increases readability.)

:5: To add content
::Once again, you have been asked ''several times'' to stop using automated editing software ''of any kind'', as you've repeatedly demonstrated a lack of care in your editing. As long as you keep insisting on using it, you will be blocked from editing.

What makes you think it’s automated? I can choose to resolve the error or not. [[User:EthanGaming117|EthanGaming7640]] ([[User talk:EthanGaming117|talk]]) 18:41, September 10, 2021 (EDT)
:They're still automatically deciding what information to change - they lack the context (such as site policy or knowledge of subject matter) to be able to intelligently make edits, resulting in a lot of unnecessary changes that are only being made because a browser addon says so.
:This should not come as a surprise - such software is ''explicitly covered'' in our bot policy, and is non-negotiable.[[User:BaconShelf|<span style="color:green;">BaconShelf</span>]] <span style="font-size:90%">([[User:BaconShelf|talk]])</span> 18:44, September 10, 2021 (EDT)
