Looks like CS:GO is saying bye-bye to "report botting"

One of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive's peskiest issues is report botting, and Valve may have just gotten rid of it. While a developer at the FPS game's studio revealed a couple of years ago the problem had been worked out (at that time) it seems to have recurred as an issue since then - but has now been taken care of again.

Valve developer John McDonald has posted a brief tweet announcing: "RIP report botting." In a follow-up tweet replying to another user asking if it's gone for good this time, McDonald adds: "With adversarial problems, it is impossible to say 'This will be fixed forever'. It's probable bad actors will figure out how to bad act again in the future. It's an ever-escalating battle". So, while it sounds like there's a chance the issue could return to the game at some point, it's been solved for the time being.

Around two years ago, the dev posted on the CS:GO subreddit that "Report bots do not work", explaining he "personally did the work" to prevent them a year prior to the post.
