This should probably be speedy closed, because I'm pretty sure it breaks every WP:BOTPOL rule. Primefac (talk) 15:39, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'll note that the owner is fresh off a block for breaking bot policy, evasion and using the last bot to spam. Almost immediately back from the block, the owner created Afaratu in an attempt to continue to spam with Lucky Afaratu/Malik Makmur (this is also a global issue as well, as the bot(s) and the owner are doing the same thing across several wikis. Idk if regular editors can oppose this but I strongly oppose it. Also going to note their original account.CHRISSYMAD ❯❯❯¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 15:41, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
