In NL we would call this ultimate anarchy and unless one of our
dictators steps in to stop anyone nothing happens. So if someone doesn't
like automatic edits it should be able to be reverted easily...


...wait... doesn't that sounds much like if someone doesn't like
*normal* edits... mmhhhmmm, yes it does!


Your code of conduct is useless in respect that non automatic edits are
usually undiscussed too. You can put it in one way or the other. Please
fix the data reverting model before introducing more 'rules'. And if you
don't do so... I'll personally instruct my bot to revert all your edits ;)
