Hey, thanks for the reply.

I think there are a number of Bots trying to manage abuse, it's a tough ask though as you can imagine.

Perhaps a limit to 1 bot, or a limit to the amount, would be clearer than 'reasonable boundaries'?

A list of bots could be gathered reasonably quickly. But with the vote selling services the votes can come in from anyone who's delegated, and so that is much tougher to track.

The application would need to check wallet sends to see if bids had gone out for the post. It's work for the Dev, but not impossible.

The early signs are promising to me :)
