Very solid points!

I've been mulling over a solution for these posts like you say that are crap but use bots to get into hot or trending. I don't have all the kinks worked out but it would involve a lot of manual viewing of bidders posts each day. I can only speak for my bot but I can say that after I implement this massive blacklist and begin working with steemcleaners that I personally would be willing to hire a team to root out this type of thing then put it in front of the community for vote. In other words, if my team saw a post like what you describe we would make apost and let the community decide if it is worthy of a vote or not. If not the vote would be pullled. Like i said, many bugs still to work out but it's a growing idea.

As far as the schooling system, I would implent something of this nature for my own bot once I had a good plan of attack. As far as other bots, If I was able to show it in a working model I would offer them to use my team or they would at least have a model to create themselves.
