AIV helperbot information

HBC AIV helperbot14 assists with the management of vandalism reports. Edit the following parameters in the page header to control the bot's behavior:

RemoveBlocked: On to enable automatic removal of blocked users from the list. Any other value will disable this functionality (only in cases of bot malfunctions, please).
MergeDuplicates: On to enable automatic merging of multiple reports of the same person. Any other value will disable this functionality.
AutoMark: On to enable automatic marking of users with special IPs or membership in categories as defined at User:HBC AIV helperbot/Special IPs. Any other value will disable this functionality.
FixInstructions: On to enable automatic repair of the reporting instruction HTML comments in the User-reported section of the page, as defined at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism/instructions. Any other value will disable this functionality.
AutoBacklog: On to enable the automatic switching on or off of the {{adminbacklog}} message. Any other value will disable this functionality. Associated parameters are:
- AddLimit: The number of vandalism reports at which the {{adminbacklog}} message will be made visible.
- RemoveLimit: The number of vandalism reports at which the backlog message will be disabled ({{noadminbacklog}}).

Sleeper PR/spam accounts

I often come across sleeper PR role accounts while jumping between articles. Those that are used cyclically or only as needed under company's control. For example and go hibernate until there's a change they want to make. How should these sleeper accounts be handled? Sometimes they're accepted. Sometimes they're rejected as "stale" for not having edited for xx days, weeks, months. Asked at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spam#Handling_of_promo_only_role_accounts_in_AIV also.
