Did my bot do something wrong?

Hello. I saw this revert[1] and turned off my bot. The bot is supposed to remove blocked users from that page and both of those users seem to be blocked. If the bot continues to run it will remove them again and "edit war" as it has no functionality to realize if it is repeating itself.

Is there some reason you want those blocked users to remain? If there is a good reason I can alter the code of the bot to allow a report to be flagged to be ignored by the bot. Chillum 21:24, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

No, fault is my end, turn it back on. I am on a mobile device and think the screen on Watchlist redrew under me as I was trying to diff an unrelated edit.

As rollbacks are single-button it just happened.

The refreshes from there as I tried to figure out what happened took a couple of minutes, then I reverted my revert.

My apologies for causing you concern. Bot did nothing wrong, etc.
