Is this claim gonna be rational? Or will most bots just be disposable alts? In another way, this could be interesting if CCP actually meant to lure botters into releasing more information because of a shorter ban.

Edit: well, this was already discussed over on the [Dev Blog: Security: Different times - Different ways - #223 by Salvos\_Rhoska](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/dev-blog-security-different-times-different-ways/56845/223) thread. Looks like CCP just withdrew in latter parts of the post. Will it be the case for this post too?
