How to identify TF2 bots that talk and aren't spinbotting
By Fred
This guide is likely to be outdated fast; However it is nessicary.

Telling Signs
Refusal to talk unless a vote kick they started or a vote kick started on them is happening. [typical responses are tf, f1 bot, f2, ect.]
Extreme Flick aim, similar to a standard cheater. [Flicks by themselves do not dictate a cheater, however if it looks extremely snappy or unhuman or happens consistently that raises flags for concern. ]

Red Herrings
Refusal to talk at all. [Free to play players cannot talk at all]
Flicks [Some people are really good at the game and can flick their mouse to a target, this looks different than a bots flicking aim.]
THESE BOTS CAN BE ANY CLASS
I myself have mainly seen spy and scout bots though. Which makes sense given hit scan weapons.

One question: Does the willamette incident have any connection to the bot crisis in tf2?
