This makes my first RFBOT on the Italian Wikipedia
<https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bot/Autorizzazioni/Archivio/2013#SamoaBot>
come to my mind.
I was much less experienced than now, and ended up flooding Recent
Changes. A bureaucrat threatened
<https://it.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=56154161&oldid=56152222> to
block me, and I even retired
<https://it.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=56157910> for a day.
But I was already 'addicted' to Wikipedia and came back soon after.
Thanks to that episode, I gradually became a quite experienced
operator. But... how many users would have given up in my place?
If someone has already gone to the trouble of making a bot, it seems
unlikely that they would give up after a single incident. I've seen it
happen after a protracted series of such incidents/screwups, but that's
perhaps better for everyone involved anyway at that point.
