No JS traffic

1st of all I hope that te3 is still supported. I dont see a lot of activity here these days.
Are you still standing behind te3, considering new features, developing it, etc?
So its very nice that te3 can detect NO-JS traffic (non javascript). These are either real surfers with javascript disabled (unlikely) or bots (very likely).
As we all know, we make money from ads.
But unfortunately ad companies do not pay very well for hitbots. (what a shame )
Therefore it would be awesome to step forward another step in this good direction and not only be able to detect
non-human/hitbot/bot (worthless) traffic but to actually do something about it.
Right now te3 treats hitbots the same way as "real" human traffic. Needless to say that this is far from good.
I see the same pattern time after time:
A trade sending crazy amounts of clicks, hits...but before I say to myself wow its a very good trade, I look at the non-js column.....uhumm....as expected, I see high % of non-js traffic, sometimes extreme numbers like 30%.
But te3 treats these trades as top top trades with very high value of course - because it does not diferenciate bw non-human and human traffic (correct me please if I am wrong).
Result: ecpm at ad companies goes down (because lots of bots in traffic).
(Damn these ad companies actually have an incoming tracker that can detect hitbots very well)
And: te3 does less and less trade with trades that actually have human traffic but are smaller in size because they are not bloated up by robot traffic.
It would be very cool to actually disregard non-javascript hits, that is, to not give any credit for them.
Like:
24 hours clicks: 850 , from this, 230 clicks is non-js. So, 850-230 = 620
give credit only for 620 clicks
totally give no credit for non javascript clicks and hits
