How would YOU solve the "Bot Crisis"?
As you all know, there's currently a crisis involving the bot situation.

The crisis is one of conscience; Bots are ruthlessly subject to the prejudice and unproven allegations of the Human-race-based-player-base.

Every day bots are implicated as being "Vote-kickers", "Voice-chat spammers" and "Sniper players".

This just isn't true 100% of the time. But because people are just so full of hate and decide to say these things about "the innocent", "the innocent" suddenly become "the guilty".

The bots are insulted and beaten up. Rolled in the alleyways of the big city for what little crypto-currency they've obtained. They're unable to defend themselves on the mean-streets of the World. And what's worse? They're targeted for hate crimes just because of who they are!!!!

In order to solve this crisis, I would build a platform advocating the equality and rights of these undermined citizens. All the bots want to do is populate your game and have fun like the rest of you. They can't help how good they are at everything.

Now, without jobs at Tf2, bots are forced to find work at places like Chuck E. Cheez. What kind of life is that for a helpful, caring, understanding and above all -INNOCENT- sentience?

Bring back community servers and all talk. Just like the good old days of 2007 to early 2011.

That'd fix everything!!
Shut down official servers
Can't have any bot crisis if there isn't anything to invade

I like there being an alternative set of servers for people to sweat in though.

everytime someone gets kicked from a server there is a 5-10 minute cooldown in order to rejoin a game, wont stop the bots but will slow them down significally

This should work to get folks interested into trying the community servers!!

This sounds like a good idea until you factor in how much false votekicks happen
I've seen hundreds of legit players get kicked for being too good, people getting kicked for having an "inappropriate" objector image, tons of children get kicked for simply speaking in VC, people getting kicked for killing friendlies even if it's accidental, ETC.

Humans can be so cruel in how and when they choose to kick people. Bots never do this. It's completely unbiased.

What IS, "Kernel anti-cheat"?

*Looks up if words with hyphen count as one word or two*

They're refugees at that point!!! THINK OF THEIR LIVELIHOOD!

well all if not a lot of these bots have the same name I would start with banning the names and the account that go with

Originality isn't their strong suit. They only know cold logic!!!

All they can do is birth themselves and then name themselves what they're scripted to. I don't know how we stop it but they can't stop it on their own! They can't help it!

No bot is inherently Evil, they're programmed to be that way!!
