Attempts have been made before on other wikis, but most ended up malfunctioning and flagging appropriate edits. By the way, Peter. How does it malfunctions? Anti vandal bots work by tagging edits they believe are not appropriate. However, often the bot will miss vandalism but will tag perfectly fine edits. This is because the bot does not have judgement nor cognitive abilities. If you think you can make a perfectly operable robot that does not malfunction ever feel free to go ahead and try.
