After last week, when the Light Troops were deducted 10 points for their extensive use of bot recruiting, questions began to be asked about whether bot recruiting as a whole is an acceptable method of recruiting. Thus, this week’s poll topic. The voting was somewhat closer than what we thought it would be. The majority of you (43.70%) said it was not moral. In the middle (31.93%) was “in limited capacity”, meaning only to a certain extent. Coming in last was yes (24.37%), meaning the large majority of you think that it should be limited.

New polls released every Sunday!
