Seems that maybe there could be a verification badges for types of users.

Explicitly, there are good bots operating for the communities benefit. They could be denoted by an official emblem that lets people know the account is a bot.

Accounts being used by real humans could earn verification as well. Perhaps via a set of votes or processes. For me it seems as simple as cross promoting via other social networks, as some of us are actively doing. Say maybe there is an organization like the Steemcleaners that will screenshot and document what they see.

Just offering up ideas because I don't think all bots are bad. Yes their are bad bots but it seems that the tools are in place to proceed towards making the situation better.
