A curious idea, act on user submitted data or not. A recent reddit post[0] in their classic wow has a video linked where a group decided to take down known and obvious bot driven players that have been reported many times.

So they used in game mechanics that abused how the bots are known to operate; where certain dialog boxes pop and how they move and react to threats; to force the bot to join a group, accept being teleported, and then they sacrificed another of the groups score to drag down the bots score.

the current comment thread includes the cynic but likely true claim that blizzard would ban these players for harassment before banning the bot for cheating/breaking eula
