Playet Bot Banning system ?

I was just wondering about how to solve some stress by creating a player able bot banning system for players, most of the time players get anoyed because there game play is being ruined, i.e Kill stealing, waiste of server space, spammers (if there is a advertising bot sort of thing)...

Then a player would simply report this name and server name to this "system" a admin will search the player up and ban if he is using illegal programs... because people only want bots banned when they are doing something specific to anoy you...
Today I had to kill like 200 bandits... these 4 bots would not stop stealing my kills, I could just report them, it would solve my case thus letting my carry on with quest. ( if they are using illegal software ofcourse )

So is this possible ? and does anyone agree with me ? (I know its a dream, but id like to imagine its capability sometimes)

Thats like bug report, which doesn't really work too good.

I think the only thing that will really work in keeping bots down is just GM activity, but there isn't much of it.
If GMs were just on the servers for like an hour or so a day being invisible and checking around there definatly wouldn't be near as many within a few days.

Reported about 20 bots in the oasis area where I was trying to farm at the flowers. They always KS, and it's annoying because they're pure INT. In every location on the map, a bot will be there. So anyway, I only see about 5 of the 20 I reported now. ^^

The reporting function there is now is useless.

Ive reported like 10 bots a week ago on Persia server, when the bot punishment list came out, NONE of their names were on it, and they were DEFINETELY bots.

It would make such a difference if JM would listen to their players for ONCE.

I know the feeling, CCP from EVE online are like that... We have many bad issues with the game, and im talking 4 year old veterans saying that they need to fix it asap... But NO ! they go make the expansion... I mean, to make a good company, you cant rely on you're employee's, you need customer support ! :banghead:
