This is total BS. I voted against the proposal because I felt that it wasn't the best way to get rid of bots -- but the way that this went down is anathema to the entire concept of player ownership. I think that Aggie and Matt need to tell us what they think about this. I think that Aly should communicate with us.
I would like to push a proposal that simply says "Bots shall be banned from the following channels and venues (Ranked, Tournaments and Brawls). New parallel channels and venues shall be created which allow both bots and humans."
It's great you explored the issue @digital-wisdom. It's a bad look overall. If fixing bot issues (or at least making them far less present or worthwhile to use) is impossible, then I don't understand why we can't at least give an honest effort to offset their impact on the game. If in the end there is nothing that can be done those that said "Nothing can be done...." will be proven right and we move on. But I guess I get suspicious when making a legit effort to encourage actual human interaction is shut down. That's it--nothing more. I'm with davemccoy here it's worth a shot to try it at the very worst.
Aly's title is Head of the SPS DAO Foundation. I made a mistake in saying he was the Chairman of the Board for Splinterlands.
EDIT: I now understand and we are in total agreement!
I don't think you read it very well. But its ok @digital-wisdom, your entitled to tell me its total BS even if I didn't even say anything about your vote other than this:
To my knowledge you aren't the Chairman of Splinterlands so none of my disappointment is directed to you. But you will feel the repercussions from his vote (if it stands), we all will!
