Username
This username may be considered offensive by some users. I would suggest you consider another account name. However, you should realize that a bot is not a daemon and your argument is not reasonable in that manner. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 18:48, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Depends on the bot, but we'll see if I get it working. :)  Daemon refers to either a background process, such as a web or mail server, or to the creatures of greek mythology.  In both cases, the term is intentionally spelled diffrent from demon, the evil spirits of christian mythology.  Nyarlathotep 18:55, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Uhm, the ligature is an older, traditional spelling. In most conservative christian faiths the older spelling is more offensive. -  Amgine | talk en.WN 18:59, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd go for creating a test account you never request bot status for, and using that to develop with. Then if you get anything useful create an account specifically for the bot that gives some indication of its purpose.  As to "daemon" being offensive or otherwise... I'm more familiar with the use in IT, so I just think the folks that object aren't accepting that language changes.  However there are many synonyms that avoid this minor conflict point. --Brian McNeil / talk 19:46, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I must amit that I think of first the christian mythology meaning, but thats just me...Brian | (Talk) | New Zealand Portal 20:31, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
