Explain where the name shaming is from?
"No personal attacks or witch-hunting, for any reason. Do not make posts accusing another player of causing a negative in-game experience, cheating, trolling, or any other malicious activity, even if you have hard evidence. Posts calling out other players for inappropriate names are likewise forbidden."
"accusing another player"
bot = player confirmed
S V is a bot. So is Ulanopo, The Djinn, DuskDaUmbreon, and DawnTheAbsol.
See? Baseless claims are possible. Even when accusing people of being a bot, you can still very well make a false claim.
The fact that it looks like a bot is irrelevant. This is not the place to report players (Build a list and submit it in a support ticket every couple months if you really feel the urge to report them outside of the usual system), and it's very possible to start a witch hunt regardless of what you're saying they did.
Your accusation that is it not a real player cannot be justified by the accusation itself.
######Note: I am not actually claiming anyone I listed is a bot. Two accounts are mine, two are people who are very clearly not bots since they're Heralds here, and one is OP. The names are picked solely so I had names that I were absolutely certain were not some random person's account, similar to the "555 number" practice in movies. Names were used solely for demonstrative purposes.
EDIT: Typo'd and added a double i to Djinn and Ulanopo needs to change his name to Ulanpo. >w>
Thats odd. I call out people on this Board quite often for using botted accounts and I've never had anything removed. I guess the rule is different if they actually choose to post here from their bought accounts.
I was told the same once. "Because behind every bot there is a real player", and so I was not allowed to call them out. Screenshots and match histories notwithstanding.
So all we could do was just report the bot and to hell with everyone else who might encounter that same bot...
Spotting bots by name may not be much of a challenge, but even then the boards aren't a place for exposure. The "No naming" rule sadly has an absolutistic no-exceptions policy and as said just now that even does include bots.
I mean look, yeah we all hate those leveling bots and nobody would love anything more than from them to be gone, reduced to atoms. But the boards aren't the place for that.
