Forgive my lack of intelligence if I may sound stupid but you can always programmatically browse a website just like you would do with an actual user and bitcontalk wouldn't see it as a spam bot unless you're opening multiple threads/spamming.
If you want a private kind of "Bitcointalk Account Price Estimator" website to use with your few accounts, you should probably be fine. You will probably only get marked as a "spam bot" if you have tons of users constantly making requests to check their accounts.
When did that happen ? I could still be using a bot with time intervals which can act like a human is accessing the website.Anyway that would make the users wait for too long which is not quite feasible.Like theymos said earlier today he did this to prevent DDOs attacks which should be good.
Maybe theymos has intentionally blacklisted such bots to put a hold on account trading?
People are farming accounts and this forum is turning into a spammers hub.
I won't be surprised if this turns out to be true.
Has nothing to do with account trading.People still trade accounts.
