Nice blog. Now we are well prepared to bring the bot-paranoia to new heights

Awesome to see that finally actions are beeing taken against this mayor issue.
Crowdsourcing the initial identification of suspects seems to be a good start, for Highsec.
But what about bots that operate deep in regions of EVE where there is no real people to notice them. Are automatic detection routines in place to check on people online 23.5/7 that are doing the same thing all day long? A little confirmation that this is beeing worked on is more than enough.

No, I have dozens of botters in my contacts who are online 23/7.

I also hope that players will receive a warning before "actions are taken" against their account. This is even more important since players petitioning botters don't receive any feedback, even if it is negative.
Like I said, I have dozens of 0.0 ratting bots on my watchlist, 80% of them are online a month after I petitioned them (and yeah, these are definitely bots). So I reported them as bots seperately.

Will future devblogs expand on your succesful persecution of certain types of bots?
While a 'how to use Report Bot' devblog is ok, it's not nearly as interesting as showing the actual results. Or in other words: how have the efforts of the ESTF made EVE a better place?
Also: would it be possible to release a picture showing in what areas the 'report bot' function has been used the most (or in what areas you've found the most bots, if you have other ways to detect them as well)? Sort of Colour Stars By -> Bots Found.

While it's great that you are doing something, report-a-bot button isn't that great. I'm more interested in what kind of automated defenses you are implementing, also we need statistics of bans, cuz now I have no idea how many you ban and if you even react to those reports.

While it is important to highlight to everyone how to report and recognise bots I also would like to know how many people are caught with this system (graphs!).
I would also like to know in what way people are considered "blacklisted" or "on parole" after being caught red-botted. Are their additional accounts also targetted or just the one caught botting.
Does CCP security have acces to payment data so it can easily round up all the accounts of one person (or family/group) and put them under the loop also? Are "know assosciates" looked at to?

Hopefully it will be for the better. Keep up the good work!
also edit/I would like Pollux view input on automated login... software(?). There are password manager software out there that have limited types of macro features, so that they will auto-fill in your user details for websites, programs, etc
What is the stance on using said technique to make the login proceedure easier, as configured properly all needed to do from the password manager is to press "go" kinda - for example KeePass has such features.

Hi there will there be bulls eyes painted on there ships. If they are Bots and if so can we shoot them when they are like that if so no concord offence or stats loss? That would be great, then we know its okay. Thanks Another pile of ore. Need a hauling ship.  That when ships are on the bot program free shooting and no concord could this be true? Wow Can't wait.

This! I second the call for stats/graphs, but what Deirdra suggests would be even better.
The request for taking a look at 'known associates': definitely necessary - agreed!

how can you know its a bot mabby this person is quiet and does not want to interact whit a neutral, he so him and went to poss straight away how can you be sure is booting, at least the person ho is reported to be a bot shuld be contacted by some service and as kt few qvestions or so because i can report any one ho is afk mabby what he is a bot it stupid

lemme explain how to fix botting:
1. select all pilot currently in nullsec where shiptype = hulk
2. ban each and every one of them
3. fixed.
guaranteed 99% efficiency, near 0 effort :P

may i ask how do u intend to get 00-space botuser reportet?
They ¦ll warp to savespot / dock at station everytime a not-blue-standing pilot is entering the system.
It¦s a nice idea and may be the fear of highsec botuser, but the bigfishes ¦ll be untouched.

That is my concern as well.
Also, it seems to me that instead of CCP explicitly requiring players to be quite certain before they report a bot, it'd be better if CCP implemented a "Report Suspected Bot" function, with the server totalling such "votes", and once any given pilot has gotten a certain number of votes from different players, within a certain span of time, say 10 votes within 30 days, the actions of that pilot becomes subject to automatic scrutiny, and possibly some automatic script testing. If this automatic scrutiny suggests that it could be a bot, manual scrutiny happens. If manual scrutiny says it's a bot, it's banhammer time.
Pilots with more than a certain number of non-expired bot votes, say more than 2 votes, could also be marked in overview, so that other players know there may be something to watch for here.
In this way, players can feel more free to report a suspected bot, instead of having to play detectives, and players who abuse the function, and generate heaps of false positives, can hae the option to report suspected boths taken away from them, for some months, or permanently (players who generate many false positives should also perhaps receive a warning).
I think that CCP's current implementation will both generate too many false positives, and at the same time will not catch a whole lot of botters. It's better than nothing, but is a bit of a blunt instrument.
And I second all the calls for published statistics. I, too, want to see the body count.

Don't be red?
The use of the report bot feature cannot be detected by your alliance leadership. This sounds like a good use of spies. Fly about and report all the bots.

Sepcially the ones that have the same name ended in different numbers (i.e. name1, name2, name3, from the Name family  ), always keep their hardeners on, never use drones and never react to being locked by a player...

Actually it's quite simple to spot a bot.
-It has a chinese or a "dkjsdfjdfh" name
-They undock in mass
-They all fly in ravens
I see this every day after 18h eve time.

Well, I do hope CCP also monitors the players who makes the reports, just spamming "Report botter" should also be a banable offence.
As a side note, I remember when the real goons mass petitioned all BoB super capital pilots for account sharing, just simply because it was possible within the game mechanics...

I've noticed a decline in mining bots, but there are others, the most annoying type are the complex camping bots, which won't be making lots of repetitive actions, but equally unfair.
