Bots (3rd party tool automation users) flood @ Ragnarok, effective way to report them

You cannot read the individual names so it is fine.

The list has the RMT names visible and only "actual player" names blacked out... It is still considered name and shame and is bannable. People have been in the past for the same thing. You would have to black out ALL your listed names for it to potentially slide.

Your concern is commendable, and appreciated. We all need to lookout for our fellow forum posters (forumites?), however, I've seen numerous posts of chat logs, and screenshots where names have been in clear view with no ill effect to the posters. I dunno. Maybe they got lucky or maybe in some cases the case of "name and shame" is overlooked. Either way, in this particular instance I feel that leaving the names, if for no other reason than so a Community Mod can see just how bad the problem is. The lists that were posted are sooooooo long that it really gives a clear picture that this situation needs to be addressed and resolved.

I'm of the firm belief that even with the evidence posted in the screenshots you requested have the names marked out, that regardless of who with SE sees it, there won't be any immediate action taken. If those RMT/bots are going to be banned it won't happen until the next wave of bans. Personally, I don't think Snugglebutt has anything to worry about, but in the off chance that he does, and he doesn't mark out the names, or at least partially mark them out, then he/she will have to deal with the repercussions. So, Snugglebutt, if you get a message indicating that you're going to be banned, please, by all means, let us know so we'll have a definitive answer as to whether or not we can, or can not, post images without the names of players marked out even in the event that those players are obviously not legitimate players who intend to play the game like we do, but rather play the game because it's their job.
