Yes, I think there are good uses for automation and I'm not against all the bots -
,
, etc, etc.
The worst offenders are the non-contactable bid-bots, that have no black/whitelist, and seem to never remove any votes that are clearly placed on absolute crap.
When they know it's crap, but wont remove a bid because they'll lose 2/3 SP for the curation..... money over content/platform.
