There have been multiple accounts created with the sole purpose of posting advertisement posts or replies containing unsolicited advertising.

Accounts which solely post advertisements, or persistently post them may be terminated.

If your account is doing something automated, then it is functioning as a bot, doesn’t matter if you also use the same account for non-bot things. I’d just make a second bot account to avoid confusion and bans.

Keep this one for your normal comments/posts, and create a second one to use as a bot account to do the auto-posts, properly marking that account as a bot.

I’d use separate accounts. I like being able to recognize bots by their user name.

If you autopost the content manually, then technically you can be considered not a bot.

Personally, though, I think having different account for bot related stuff seems like a good idea.

I meant I would auto-post using a program, so yeah it won’t be done manually.

If you are going to use this account to auto-post, yes you should be tagged as a bot, alternatively I would recommend making a second account for this task.

This is the way.
