You can probably just disconnect and reconnect. Another option: I know
the Zen author occasionally logs in as the bot and censors people who
abuse the bot. The only problem with this method is that it's very easy
to create a new account on KGS.
If you catch somebody rank cheating, the best thing to do is to report
it to the admins and get all their hard work undone. I think most people
are legit, and removing a few bad apples helps out and offers some
discouragement.

Concerning _abusive_ players..
After some googling I finally found a log file from kgsgtp ( I haven't
had a bot online for years, thus googling! ). What I've been looking
for is if the name of your opponent is shown in the logs or output of
kgsgtp. It appears this may be the case:
"FINER: Got challenge from"<insert name>", testing engine response."
Of course this could have been from an old version, but if this is
still being written to a log or output. Maybe you can use it for
access control? Simply keep a list of players you wish to exclude and
either resign at move 1 ( shouldn't count right? ) or if it is
displayed before the game starts you could decline one of the settings
making it impossible for them to start a game?
Perhaps someone would be willing to have a look at their output/logs?

Of course I am making this up. The point is that the assumption that

as those creating bots might like or want. {smirk}
First of all, you're not allowed to share an account, and if the admins
find out they'll derank you just as if you had been intentionally
sandbagging.
Also, it's not just the bot creators that value the integrity of the rank
system. As a KGS player, I report anybody when I find obvious cheating. I
originally reported this player and I stand by it.
Bot bashing is rampant on KGS, and there are several people on KGS who
feel like they are defending the honor of humanity. My guess is that this
person took it too far.
I think it's time that bots stand up for themselves and unite. I can hear
them now, "We refuse to be treated like second class citizens!"
I know how you feel because I have had people disrespect my bot (and me by
extension) by their behavior.

This person spent all their time playing bots, had an amazing record
against CrazyStone, and resigned several games in the middle where he had a
lead or good chances against the Aya bots.
