I've been traveling through http://evemaps.dotlan.net/system/Urhinichi and seeing 5 or 6 Raven Navy Issues on D-scan 4 of them aren't even named and all are in their own 1 person corporation. There is 1 Noctis constantly on scan and tons of wrecks and they are nearly constantly active as you can see on dotlan.
This is when I suspect botting, in this case to make rigs.
How do you guys decide if you are seeing bots and would you report this? |

A real bot would ignore you.
For every action there is a reaction, at least from a human.
A BOT however will only react as it is programmed so it will give the same response every time.
The rest is up to you. |

Scan them down, flip their can see what happens.
Cross your fingers and hope that the bot can't tell the difference between a red player and a red npc. |

Better to start afk cloaking and smacking up local. If they respond, they're human, if they ignore you and stay safed up (they immediately warp to ss's / POS's when reds enter system) they're probably bots. Drop CCP a note and they'll check them out to confirm if they're botting. |

Innocent until proven guilty, but that does sound like a reasonable situation to be suspicious. Programmers can get pretty clever, and regular people might just plain ignore you if you do anything with them.
Bot or not, predictability is a good thing for pirates. See if you can find them or have someone else find them and scan their ship fittings. You might be able to sell the find to a pirate corp if they have decent faction or officer fits. It's legitimate gameplay and all the more justified to eliminate the presence of harmful bots.

could be a multiboxer could be a bot
as recommended in the other replies try and provoke a human response from them before reporting them.
otherwise we'll see some poor bastard in here in a couple days talking about how all his accounts got banned when he went to go take a leak... |

First - as others have said, try to elicit a human response. (give them some time to reply)
Second - wardec 'em
Third - if no response, salvage their wrecks. if they don't respond, repeat. if they still don't respond.. profit! |

tell them that their mother is a drone and looks like a dominix. If they respond you know they are bots.

When the same three people like every single post of mine, I start suspecting Bot.
CCP needs to get to the bottom of this travesty.

considering the fact it's a newbie system, there may be some profitable hack with some storyline missions that we must be unaware off.
Interesting i must check this out.

I've seen exactly the same thing in Unpas and surrounding areas. Caldari Navy Ravens ... different 1 man corps but when scanned they had the exact same fit.
All bot reported well over a month ago. |

I'm not even that good at programming and I could make it "talk" more than most real people.
OP, I feel your pain. I would not be quick to report a bot with the new system.

Someone better call Matthew Hopkins, These bot witch hunts are getting silly.
Some people like working alone, some people reject chats, some people couldnt give two monkies if you keep bumping thier ships. I know I don't.
BTW I taught my bot how to post in the forums.  |

If it doesn't talk it's a bot,
if it talks it's a well programmed bot.
Seriously though just because someone doesn't respond does mean they are a bot, I often will have my miners up for hours while I'm doing other things (watching TV, PVPing fapping off) and I seldom bother even looking at the accounts other than to move Ice when my timer tells me it's time. Hell I seldom pay attention to local on Skex it's not like there's anything in there other than sophomoric epeen stroking or spam most the time anyway. |

yeah, cuz pirates are gonna try to kill a bunch of bots in a high sec system.
really the only thing they could do is flip a can or loot their wrecks. |
