even though I think I would rather engage in dialogue with those people
They're not people. They're bots. I'm not kidding. 4pol is overrun with them. It's so bad, you need to post a picture with text you want to discuss, while posting text to trick the bots into discussing something else.
The mods are doing the right thing. Delete the bots bullshit immediately. No dialog is going to convince a bot. It just spews more DNC bullshit.
Like a chat bot? If it can actually fool me into thinking I'm debating a real person, it makes me want to engage it even more.
If it's clearly just software, I would just ignore it.
Spamming is an issue however. It's like shouting above everybody when someone else is trying to speak. I would suggest a timer system in that case. For every 5 downvotes, you have to wait until 1 minute to post. Up to a max of 5 minutes.

Then you'll love pol, head on over to 4chan and drink from the bot firehose.
