I do appreciate someone looking at all the angles like this @deanlogic, it is way more than I know anything about with how the platform or 'grading' system works, but I do know this. I don't like the bots much so far. I am new here and suppose they serve a purpose for some.

For me, the content is what I am looking for. Imho, if the community focuses on the bots then soon we will have a community simply full of bots. :( That would be sad as they add little value (outside of upvotes to some) to the "community" itself.
