Bots joining games please fix

hi im having a ton of bots join my pickup games with 0 hours played and 0 hours spent on the site. all of them with display pics they come into my pickup games and stop the advert from going out. as a paid dm this is really unacceptable. can you rule that accounts with no playing hours get deleted after a couple of weeks to stop this happening. thanks.
just after i posted this i had another bot in the game.
How are they joining your games, are you putting an invite link out there where anyone can click on it?
Wow, just wow. The lengths people go just to destroy for others.

Hi, Dicey! Thanks for the report! The devs are aware of this issue and are considering ways to prevent bots from joining pickup games. Can you post the game ID (the number in the URL on the game details page) or name, so we can better research the issue? Thanks!

Just the game name will help me track down the bots you've kicked.

Just any game that you had to kick a bot from is fine. I can get there from the game name, or if you have the campaign id (it's the number in the URL when you are looking at the game details page). I don't need the join link, though. Your LFG listing link is also fine; I can get to your game from there.  You said you kicked several yesterday? That also helps me filter out ones that are not bots.

Hi, Dicey. Thanks for the report; that helps me pin down the bots (that particular set seems to have been banned already, which is good). However, it sounds like you have more going on than bots, here. I'm going to ask that you submit your report about these harassing users here , with as many links and sources as you have available. I'm also editing your post to remove names to help you avoid retaliation from bad actors. I've saved the information and am sending it along to the team that will handle your report.
thank you
