We think It's time to Stand Up to Sneaker Bots. We are average people who love sneakers but are in a growing losing battle against Sneaker bots and Resellers. It has become almost impossible to cop anything at all due to the overwhelming amount of bot activity. We know certain measures have been taken to limit the amount of bot activity but the only way to see actual progress is to completely change the system to make it an even playing field. In short, 1 person has no chance against 1 person using a bot with over 100 Snkrs accounts. Below is what we suggest.

- Please randomize all "Hype" releases (All Travis Scott Collaborations) (SE Dunks) (SE Jordans) etc. Give a release week, NOT a release day. This allows bots less preparation time but doesn't completely solve the issue.

- Next, please allow only completely verified accounts to enter draws and make each person re-verify all information at the time of each draw but only allow 1-2 minutes to complete (Phone number, email, CC number, address, and a photo with a unique gesture) Meaning in order to have a valid Snkrs account all of the above criteria must be met. This will eliminate bots from contention. This method has been used in several social media apps and will prove that you are a human. This also doesn't completely solve the problem

- Last, we suggest once "enter draw" is clicked we are redirected to a new page that asks for all information to be verified as stated above. The current process allows you to enter the draw and verify all information on the same page. Redirecting would make it harder for bots to make it through.

Using these three suggestions may not completely stop bots from winning but will do a better job of evening the playing field.
