#REDIRECT [[bot]]
A '''vandalbot''' is a [[bot]] that acts like a human [[vandal]], to [[blank]], [[revert]] or [[garble]] page titles and content.  It typically must be coded very specifically to a [[content management system]], e.g. [[wiki code]], so it is not usually possible to simply use a generic vandalbot against a new wiki - for these reasons bot code is often closely guarded and shared with friends of the developers. 
 
Several typical vandalbot attacks were launched against [[Recyclopedia]] within a week of its launch.  These blanked pages and moved them to random titles to maximize the difficulty of undoing the damage or tracking references to those pages.  Specifically, pages criticizing [[Wikimedia]] and documenting [[Wikimedia corruption]] were attacked consistently over several such attacks.
 
Any [[MediaWiki]]-based service is vulnerable to attacks from these people.  Likewise [[GetWiki]] is probably vulnerable, so other [[wiki code]] might be desirable if these people continue their [[technological escalation]] against their political opponents.
 
The [[Consumerium Governance Organization]] must take a strong stand against the use of vandalbots or [[crapflood]] techniques to resolve political issues.  If it is targetted by such tactics, it must be able to respond legally, politically and technologically in tandem, to stay as resilient as possible
