A nice counter plan. If taken to the extreme and apply somewhat of a Grumpycat touch where all votebot posts were flagged to the amount it would have been without them would quickly scare off those who use them. It is evident those who own the bots will never stop their profit operations. I know many dislike Grumpycat, but if one is honest he/she has probably stopped most people from using bots that vote posts older than 3.5 days. I imagine applying this to all voting bots would have the same outcome. Of course, those abusing the voting bots are easily found as they dominate the top of the lists.
