Congratulats! You just false-positive marked 10โ of humans as bots.
This is a horrible idea.
If humans have a bot-like behavior, it's okay to mark them as bot. If a human is only posting to promote products/astroturf, who cares if it's misclassified, it doesn't add anything to the discourse. IMHO, that's good riddance.
And in my solution, at the end the instance owner takes action, it's not like there is no human recourse.
