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.
