Hide Scripted Agents From Map Or At Least Recolour the Dot

People see the dots and a bot, and assume it's contributing to traffic then some people will actively avoid such a place. If there's such an option I'm unaware of it but I'd love to hear solutions!

Yes have a different colored dot for scripted agents.

Far too many places have bots placed on their land to make it look busy when it isn't. They are not marked as scripted agents when you look at profiles but its quite obvious to a seasoned eye. No payment used, generic freebie clothing. They never respond, they are sat up on a platform. Why is LL not insisting these are marked as such so they dont count against traffic numbers? There are a fair few well known places who claim to be popular but its mostly bots in the sky. Only have to go there and look on the map and see them floating up there, all created in batches, with similar naming conventions, blank profiles. Come on LL we aren't stupid.

Perhaps some sort of visual designator for scripted agents and/or ai-driven avatars so we clearly know who/what we're interacting with.

Having accounts visible marked (also in the profile) as "Scripted Agent" would be a good thing!
1st ... there is no longer an excuse for datathiefs to send you to an external web-page to click "I am no bot" (and same time make a connection between your Avi/UUID ... and your IP-address).
2nd ... you avoid the bot be AR'd as "Bot ... maybe not set as scripted agent" (less work for the Governance Team)
3rd ... you can more easy complain, if your neighbor fill the Sim up with NOT set to bot-accounts ... or with bot-accounts
4th ... you see the real population of a place. (I not refer to "Traffic"
