Add a question to the ban report sheet?

[slipperyfrog]

I was just thinking while reading over the ban reports. The one thing I think missing from the information provided is the question of how much time did you actually (honestly) watch your bot. Something like:

What honest percentage of time did you supervise your bot?

I found a guy the other day while using HB/Poolfisher hovering over spots almost quietly watching people. I would target him and he was not targeting anyone. He was also not sitting still. I quietly picked up my pole and fished pools manually. Then took to following him to three other spots. Later he messaged in Trade channel that he had caught a farming bot and put the name up for everyone to see and tell them to report him. Wasn't me but another guy.

I watch the bot as I surf the net or read a book. Rarely leave it other than a quick jump to the bathroom or fridge. The rest of the time I play the actual game myself. I know that time as I was pool fishing he was watching but I noticed him quickly and took over manually.

Did that make sense?

Hmm, maybe if you make the question more simple "Did you monitor your bot?"

"How many suspensions/Bans have you recieved in total" would also be fun

But, there is alot of question that could be fun to ask, but i like how simple the form is. Adding more questions to it might scare a few ppl away from filling it out.

It's not really a factor who's going to matter if you were banned and it's not something you can take into account. Because supervising your bot shouldn't be something mandatory, since you're supposed to be able to live your jolly good life while the bot does the dirty work. It's just a weird question to include, I really don't think many people watch their bots most of the time gathering. Maybe if it's questing, that's entertainment for you.

A better formulation would be: Were you supervising your bot and did user interaction occur?

Would still be a weird question. Because saying "I moved the bot a bit because he was stuck". Of course that could've avoided a player report but it doesn't really tell you anything.
