You keep making this false claim that bots were used. You've been corrected on this enough times that I think I can reasonably characterise the above statement as a knowing lie on your part.
De facto bots != bots.
When you get de facto single purpose accounts doing virtually nothing else but deleting characters and episodes, often not even bothering to *read* what they're deleting, there' not much difference between human and bot.
On an abstract level I have a certain admiration for the sheer tenacity and the work involved. But only on a very abstract level. In reality it's almost maddeningly frustrating: there just is no way to stop this from happening, and it's doing far more harm than good.
