AIV bot not removing blocked IPv6 Range

At [3] I manually removed a report where the IPv6 range is already blocked. I notice that the bot actually does remove IPv6 addresses where they are range blocked, but in this case the bot did not. Could you please take a look? Thanks. 0xDeadbeef 06:28, 11 September 2022 (UTC)

HBC AIV helperbot5

If I add a comment to an AIV vandal listing that a vandal is a sock of some blocked editor, for instance, helperbot5 will immediately archive that comment. Example: I added a mention of a blocked IP here helperbot5 quickly removed the comment here. Is there a way to add such a comment w/o its removal? I replaced it w/o any links here. It would be nice to be able to use an IPvandal or such so that an admin could see its data. Thanks Adakiko (talk) 12:13, 12 September 2022 (UTC)

Weird edit summary by HBC AIV helperbot5

On September 7, 2022, in this edit, the bot gave a weird edit summary:

Empty. rm 2600:1001:B127:25A6:5930:D2CB:35C7:CE15 (Special:Contributions/ rangeblocked unknownby [[User:|User:]] (TPD)). 4 comment(s) removed.

without mentioning which admin rangeblocked the IP user. Perhaps I'm not the only one who noticed this. Please fix it so users who report to AIV don't have to cross check IP blocks again and again. —CrafterNova [ TALK ]  [ CONT ] 16:54, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
