A beginner could easily run gnugo for a day or two, get a 7k rank for the gnugo account, then replace gnugo with an account that moves randomly for a few moves then resigns. Play this new robot as white with handicap 6, and you will soon get a dan-level account. To try to prevent that kind of business, we make it at least a little bit of effort to get a rated bot account. I don't think that any admin takes the time to police bots, but if admins hear complaints about something funny going on, I'm sure somebody would investigate.
