No problem.

That doesn't seem all that weird to me. I see there is an open thread on NL bots, one on PLO bots, and another on SNG bots, all started back in November. How many bot threads does there need to be?

That sounds like a really good reason to close a thread, TBH.
Often I think we've had a problem with people throwing names out there with very little in the way of evidence - not talking about on ACR specifically, but many sites. It's interesting how times have changed - years ago on this forum, people would be taken to task for bringing forward names with little to no evidence, and now it's become a lot more acceptable. Unfortunately, this may be because botting is more of a problem on some sites. Either way, I think there are times when it would be quite appropriate to close or delete a thread with no evidence, and there are probably other times when people have obviously done their homework but don't want to tip their hand by presenting their evidence, that names should be allowed to stand.

Yes, they do. And this may be a concern to players, but if they're not getting their concerns heard or properly dealt with in a sponsored forum, they're welcome to start a thread in Internet Poker, or in this case, we have multiple threads in NVG about the topic.

I think it would be a little unusual for a site to sticky such a thread in their own forum, but I don't think it really matters - there are a few botting threads on the first page.

If you give this some thought, it really isn't. We've seen numerous issues brought forward with pretty much every site at some point. Locked accounts, missing money, collusion, botting, and more. Some of them turn out to be legitimate concerns that are addressed by the site, some turn out to be cases where the player(s) in question are misleading everyone, and some where the issue is never addressed to the satisfaction of many. If we were to shut down the advertising of every site where questions were raised, I'm afraid it would be time to shut down 2+2 as we wouldn't have any advertisers left.
That's not to to say we would never refuse new advertising or cancel existing advertising with a site that we felt was, or had become, disreputable - we've done both in the past. But I don't think we're anywhere close to such a threshold here.
What's important to me is that players are voicing their concerns, and providing information for others to use before deciding to play there.
