We always hear that botting is not tolerated in the big alliances like goons, they say if anyone is caught they will be kicked. Are they being pro active ? If so how do they go about it ? do they have data on how how many people have been kicked if any ? cheers ---

They remove any verified botters from their alliance and report them to CCP. > [@Shark\_Bait](#): > > Are they being pro active ? I’m not sure what you mean by this. ---

They are not going to disclose exactly how they detect botters, since that would be counterproductive. Such simple truths must be easy to comprehend. Let’s not pretend to be more smooth brain than we are. ---
