I had a thought the other day and I am curious if you think it could work:

If we get enough people to spam the botters who /yell every 30 sec with unique tells, do you think it would make a difference? I'm imagining numerous /t spam them when people see the /yell, instead of people doing it as a job.
Do you think this would be a big enough of a deterrent over time? It seems like it would be satisfying to know that we are annoying them as much as they are annoying us.

It's a bot. You'd be literally telling no one, while someone would see it, it's a battle you can't win.

You could yell back. At some point, square will have to do something if you get enough people to be unruly enough.

No ones ever committed enough. So many things could be fixed with mere brute force.

The bots aren't managing themselves, there's someone managing them. If they can't tell who is a customer and who is an *** hole, then that could be a huge annoyance.

if they are automated to the point where no humon has interact with potential customers it would be pointless to spam them. approach a different point in the RMT life cycle where humans are involved, maybe mercs?
