ooh man a good bot fix.

design an in-game player based, applied for task force. these players would be granted a couple new abilities:
*Teleport to the reported bot location.
*Arrest (the bot) - actully just teleports the bot to an in-game jail house, say the gladiator arena in Uldah.

key elements of this program:
*Bot cops cannot perform these duties on their home server/world.
*Bot cops remain completely anonymous.
*In order to remain in the program a player must register a minimum of 14 hrs per week "on duty"
*Incentive to partake in this volunteer program, the selected players will gain an exp bonus equal to the amount of time "on duty"
*Bot cops get to ride around on a black/white chocobo.

*Judges (GM's) will be the issuing authority for an arrest warrant, and the oversight for this program.
*Arrested bots sent to jail must petition to a Judge (GM) to be released within 1 hour of arrest or that players account becomes suspended for a duration determined by SE.
*If a player is found guilty that character will be publicly executed with a world wide message stating their name their crime and punishment.
*The world wide message will be a new feature that will display in the upper center of the screen.
*Players misreporting bots will be warned the first offense, arrested and sent to jail second offense, progressive suspensions thereafter .

*Employing this program will strongly discourage botting, and gil selling.
*This program will not only be the first of it's kind in any MMO, it will be a fun and rewarding experience for the players that participate.

I'm just tossing up an idea here, but i think it would be a blast to ride around on a black/white cop chocobo busting f'n cheaters
Not to mention how much time i would likely waste at those public executions >=D
