An anti bot system WE can make
The answer to ending the bot crisis wasn’t a future Valve update. The answer was in front of us all along. WE can stop this. If you used to make bots but have stopped for any reason, please make this kind of bot: A bot that vote kicks other bots. So how it will work is they just stand in spawn and vote kick users that share qualities bad bots usually have: they all share same name, they have a link in their name, they are playing loud obnoxious sound effects without end, etc. The good bots (bots that vote kick) will always press F1 unless it shares the same name as the other good bots. Once a bad bot is kicked, they wait. If a legit player joins, one good bot also leaves, but not all of them. If a bad bot joins replacing the one that was vote kicked or a good bot that left, they vote kick it again. Once it’s kicked, they wait. If it’s a legit player, once good bot leaves. The process repeats until there are more players than bots. Once everyone is a legit player, and there’s only one good bot left, he leaves because now the players outnumber the bots. Then what to do the good bots do? They join another game and repeat the process. This will work because in a way it’s almost like they’re following the tracks of the bad bots and constantly keeping them at bay. They leave when the server is 100% secured from the bad bots, keep joining other servers that either have bots or are endangered to the possibility that multiple bad bots might join (smaller servers). If a server is almost 100% bad bot then they don’t mess with it because it’s only full of bots, no legit players trying to have fun. If it’s a smaller server and they’re aren’t enough legit players to vote kick the bad bots, then the good bots join and fill in the space and help for them and do they’re long yet rewarding process of making a server 100% bad bot free. If you know how to make bots please try this. It won’t end the bot crisis, but will help make more servers than ever are bot free. And also, PLEASE name them “The Bot Police.” They can be any class because they won’t be harming any players (unless you can somehow make them sniper bots that only target bots, similar to how most bot clients make their bots only target players). Anyway, for everyone else please give me your feedback and tell me if you think:
This will 100% work
Might work but it might not work
This will totally not help at all
This will only make things worse

Thank you for you read the whole thing. If you didn’t please read it because you make take some things out of context.

These bots waste player slots like cheat bots and they only do something any normal player can do. It doesn’t make sense

Ok then, explain. Why do you think this will only make things worse. I see no argument currently and I only respond to competent people with an actual argument rather than “you bad.” You seem to have a good reason, and I want to hear it

I’m not trying to sound like I’m better than y’all, I just don’t want to waste my time with people who only have to to spam hate comments
They never said anything hateful againts you lol.
We're trying to get rid of bots, not make more.
Pazers bot detector is a good example on why these are stupid ideas.

Adding more bots accomplishes the same purpose as normal bots
This is an awful idea that people have already though of and been criticized for.

what about we just kick bots
So basically these bots will do exactly what real players are already doing. How is this helpful?

players kick real people by accident sometimes or refuse to kick bots. sometimes you don't know if a bot is a player or not. Kick bots would amend those issues

How?
scripts, and code make the world. It wouldn't be that hard to make

I know. I am a full time programmer. Which is why I am asking how. It would be very easy to program, if you know what needs to be done. How will a bot be able to detect a bot from a human player accurately. Just saying "scripts" isnt really an answer.

That's not like what is being suggested. That thing works off of a list that is made by it's creator that not only included some bots but suspected cheaters and anyone else the creator had issue with

Make it so that when you create a server, you can add a minimun rank to enter. People get banned and keep making new accounts... having them to play till rank something for entering a server will discourage them.

Most of the bots I see are over level 100 because all they do is run 24/7 scoring massive amounts of points. But something like that would probably thin out a lot of cheaters that use free cheats and burn through VAC banned f2p accounts.

what if we ran our own servers and had admins that could just ip ban any bots on sight
