Re: [Wikimedia-l] Welcome messages at arwiki

I've usually just don't bother with them, but lately I got complaints about this specific bot, and the bot operator neglect doing anything with the problem. That is why I raise the issue, as there are no other forum where users from one project can make a complaint about misbehaving users on
