When a player is reported for botting or botmining.... and CCP agrees its botting, give the reported -10 in standing and thereby give all possibility to rip them a New one without any fuzz or Buzz.

Good and funny idea for higsec - i love it! Pirate
What about lowsec and nullsec? This -10 sec status change nothing.

The Faction Police will just shoot them down before you can do anything. So it's useless in Highsec as well

Mark them as perma-suspect then send a cluster wide broadcast? Yes please.

Better than current punishment...

30 day ban against someone they THINK is botting, only to have to replace game time when they make a mistake, all while not replacing potential lost income

If this happens it should be -9.5 or something similar since right now getting a perfect -10.0 standing is kind of an achievement.

If they break the rules of the game then they should be banned. You just want to shoot miners :P

As an aside IP bans are (sadly) a bad thing - lots of people play from uni, etc. family sharing a connection, increasingly ISPs using carrier grade NAT on their cheapest offerings and so on.

The massive bot fleets are gone, but solo bots are still prevalent.

And any mass botter left has gone through some intense evolution s to escape notice. Their toons are probably not all in one spot, there is probably are a delay between commands mimicking a medium attentive miner.

Talking more,

Flying crazier,

And drinking more
