I made the change to the scripts which computer bayeselo ratings. Every bot which ends with the ",?" suffix (where the question mark is a wildcard character) will be rated as if it were a single player. It will show up in bayeselo with ",*" (comma asterisk) appended.
There is no check to prevent clones from playing each other - I may or may not try to fix that later. I also intend to synchronize bayeselo ratings with the main list by periodically copying the ratings from bayeselo to the standard list for these comma bots. I will not copy ratings for other bots, just the comma bots. This should have a fairly powerful standardizing effect on the rating pool. Bayeselo is standardized by a single anchor but there should be no drift if the anchor has played enough games and so the comma bots should always have accurate ratings, at least to accuracy of the ELO rating system and the number of samples. Please note that it will be good if the actual anchor continues to participate on a regular basis. Don
