Current stance towards automatic service bumping bots?

I am currently planning on developing an automatic bump bot for some of the services I have listed in the Services section and was wondering if this does not interfere with any rules or regulations on this forum.

Some information about requirements I have set myself for the bot:

 - It will delete the previously posted bump message before posting a new bump message.
 - If it fails to delete the previous bump message, it will stop running immediately and stops posting any more bump messages to avoid cluttering.
 - Bumps will be posted every 24 hours (or slightly above that because of the no-delete rule for posts younger than 24 hours).
 - The scraping of posts is done using the wap2 version of the post.
 - The bump message remains the same message during all times (and includes a line of text explaining that it is an automatically posted message).

Is this allowed? Should I use a new newbie account or is using my own account for this okay?

Thanks in advance,

Adriandmen
