P.S.
You guys have never replied to my proposal regarding eliminating bots from the game. Have you solved the problem?
The problem is an ongoing battle and there is never going to be an outright winner. We are always doing more to try and combat the bots.
If anyone comes to us with information or ideas we can successfully implement and save us money we always pay a bounty. I don't think trying to turn that into a competition will really work.
I guess these words may be interpreted as
the competition has been always here.

I didnt know about the bounty youve mentioned, but now Im sure it's worth thinking on the ideas.
I can't help thinking that there have to be guaranteed ways of spotting bots. I mean, I know from your earlier post that bots can be re-coded in a matter of a few hours and thus they can adjust to any new implementation pretty quickly, but I think there has to be an idea of something which is immune to that.
