I think the problem is that it allows you to effectively make a level-cap Re-re/Permanoob with very little effort at all (well, apart from the scripting of the thing), which is hardly fair to all the people who have managed it themselves. Really it should be banned from all sorts of e-peen, especially the consecutive ones and any leaderboard things (not that that’ll ever be a problem, but in principle… ) which is basically what a cheater account is.

What’s wrong with marking it as a cheater anyway? It’s not using the normal cheating options, but it is cheating, since it could theoretically beat the game without any user input.

That said, if you can come up with something capable of running individual forums, repairing damage, buying items and whatever, then I think it should be allowed, just under special terms. Same applies if you’re just making a script to beat forums and nothing else.
