Botter Banstick (i.e. Don't Multi-Bot!)

[Gadzooks]

I like to use auctioneer but apparently the auto-scan of the available items in the AH is not permitted, this is data mining. you can still use auctioneers other features.

The blues are stating that mods and add ons are NOT why people are getting banned, don't worry about Auctioneer.

They are saying there are cases where software that automates mods, like the one that auto-clicks the "buy" button with auctioneer, can lead to bans.

Auctioneer, as it's downloaded, installed, and used, is perfectly fine. The data mining referred to I tend to think is talking about people who data mine the model files and such to find content.
