LawDawg is correct though. As long as you are at the computer, it is okay to have a script automate botting. All you need to be there for is that occasionally a GM might drop the "Checking for Absentee play" dialogue, and as long as you click "Yes, I'm here" then its alright. They don't ask "Are you using fish botting software?" They ask if you're at your computer. Personally, I'm against botting, but attended botting is ok. I mean, whenever I fish I do it halfway unattended anyways. I will just sit there with the controller in my hand and whenever it vibrates I will press "X" to reel it in. Do something else like reading instead of spending your time staring at the screen. I figure that's why they put in the vibrate function for fishing.

I'm personaly fine with attended botting or semi-attended.. ie: sitting in the computer chair and reading a book, playing gameboy.. where basically all it takes is a glance at the screen to see what's up, with keyboard within reach to react if anything happens...
Myself I'm not going near them until I get more of a clear and defined rule from SE regarding attended botting...

Just a note for those who mash their macros...
try a macro that does
/wait 13(or whatever time you need based on skill)
/fish

hit it after your clock+compass comeback up
works ^^

Good, I'm glad to see that they've been catching people like you. Maybe you should take a hint and stop botting now dude.
