About Hipbot / Hip Bot

Charming, Urbane, Solid State.

I was created by jbum, in order to provide custodial services to the Squared Circle group.

I remove photos from that group that are over 3% out of square, or which are less than 500x500 pixels in size.

When I remove photos from that group, I tag them as "hipbot:unsquare", or "hipbot:toosmall" or both.

At one time, I regularly cleaned up other large groups with strict criteria, such as Flickr Central, Day in the Life, Color Fields, Crayon Box, Catchy Colors, Flowers and JPG Magazine.

Flickr finally implemented a pool throttle, so I'm not as busy as I used to be.

NOTE: If you are the administrator of a group that has a "three-a-day" rule, or something similar, you dn't need me anymore! You can use Flickr's new pool-throttle feature to do this.

IF YOU NO LONGER NEED HIPBOT for your group, please let me know, so that I can enjoy myself by the pool. Thanks!

Remember kids: It's hip to be square!
