Fill stones in the opponent's territory which was clearly 100% not going to work

If a human player were doing this, they would be advised that this is poor etiqutte, and in fact can be regarded in some cases as stalling, which if repeat behaviour after multiple warnings can be grounds for a site ban.

In the case of playing a bot, there is no way to program them such that they are weak enough to play at the DDK level but strong enough to not play pointless moves within territory.
