Banning of bots (suggestion)

Every player that haven't traveled a meter the first 7 minutes of the game is considered passive/bot. That player gets a warning point. Three collected points during 24h gives a one day ban. Three offenses closes the account for a week. Even more closes the account permanently.
Every artillery moves more than a meter during 7 minutes. Artillery players are not hurt by this. All other classes will move more than an artillery piece.
The point of 7 minutes was that my friend thought they should be kicked out of the match after the 7 minutes and thus get no XP. I do not know if it is possible now but the rest sure is.
WoT have been around for long enough for bots to lose their way up to tier X tanks. As there are progressively more tier X tanks no tier matches protected against the bots.

and for sure a better post than the usuall ones that use foul language and says "wg must solve the afk/bot-problem now!!!!!"
