As i said if you give them an inch they will take an ell. For them light botting automatically means botting. They will not distinguish between light botting and botting. The activity of the server will go down because bot users do not play the game. They will be there considered as annoying garbage but they will not take part in the gameplay. The consequence is that the server will end up in a mess.
I doubt this would help the community and make the server become a better place. To avoid this you have to make it clear right from the beginning that botting is not allowed here. Those who voted or will vote for light botting just want to hedge their bets in case of experiencing struggle while hunting (lazyness/indolence). No pain, no gain! Further they seem to be not caring about the community but rather about themselves only.
