Indeed, if FTP is either incapable of detecting and enforcing their own rules against bots, or FTP just chooses not to detect and enforce for their own greedy reasons, then it really is incumbent upon other players at FTP to take action of their own.

Obviously, one action that has already been mentioned targets FTP: boycott the site. However, I believe this will only be marginally effective in the short-term, and totally ineffective in the long-run.

Instead, I would encourage players who find themselves at the same table(s) with any of these bots to simply not play with them, i.e., shun them and spread the word to others at the table(s) to shun them. This can effectively hurt the bot owners/operators where it hurts the most...in their wallets.
