You can't selectively ban bots though. What's the criteria if you do that? And who is the judge of what is a good voting bot and what is a bad voting bot? In a "decentralized" platform, where we can't even get the top 20 witnesses on the same version, what is an easily agreeable set of rules to become a "good" bot?
Even if we were able to ban bots entirely, there would be a next thing that defeats the intent, and a next thing after that. People are always willing to work their asses off not to have to work. It's really strange. Of all the crap posts out there, if the people doing them would take the time to create actual useful content, they might find it less work than screwing the system.
VOTING bots...all bad. Only people should vote.

I'm so lazy I work my ass off just to get some rest =p
