“Escaping” when playing with bots

IMO strong bots should be unranked to prevent this problem from even arising.

If KataGo, Leela Zero, Golaxy etc. are recognised as superhuman then they don’t need a rank; their grey bot username supplies the necessary information.

I mean by this that they shouldn’t be permitted to play ranked games, and they should be given a “rank” like 1b, like a pro’s 1p. This’d also prevent airbaggers from farming them using ladders.
