Article Request: Analysis of Bots

[pyedog]

I'm not sure if people are encouraged to suggest topics for potential magazine articles. But I would be very interested in reading an article on the prevalence of bots in online games. The recent discovery of probable winning bots playing 1-2NL at Full Tilt has me quite concerned for the future of online poker. Mainly because of the callous way that Full Tilt has treated this problem.

I would be primarily interested in reading suggestions for how sites and players could police and crackdown on bots. Maybe the poker sites would even be interested in reading the suggestions if someone did a good job of writing the article.

Anyways, I'm just throwing this idea out there in case someone has the desire and expertise to research and write about it. Of course I wouldn't want anything to be published which would primarily help bots escape detection, so there's a double edged sword with this topic.
