 :::: I remembered why it checks the top user of /Spam instead of /Status. The bot only checks the /Status page every five minutes. If a user (who's on the access list) edits /Spam and then /Status, there's a brief window where a (bad) user could change the contents of /Spam and have the bot deliver it. To avoid this possibility, the bot ensures that the top user editing /Spam is a trusted user (any user on the access list). Any user can start the bot, but the message (/Spam) must have been last edited by someone who's on the access list. Generally this isn't a problem as the whole delivery process is (generally) a one-user workflow. Using a bot like LivingBot slightly complicates this, but only when the bot isn't listed on the access list.   15:17
