You are probably arguing that I should only update after a bayelo calculation and that probably makes sense too. > > I like the idea of allowing ',-bots' for everyone.

I think I like that idea too - I just want to get a consensus or near-consensus if possible since I feel the server belongs to everyone, not just me. > > > As a separate issue it is possible to use this copy mechanism for bots who >> have played less than 100 or 200 games.

I don't like to see so many programs with such low game counts and if we have the bayeselo transfers anyway it's less important so maybe I will up the number of games required to get listed on the page. (I believe I rate EVERY game however, even if it's not displayed.) Thanks for the feedback.
