What is blizzards stand on botting

I own two accounts and sometimes I run them on two different systems and play both at the same time. Often I use one just to buff up a new starting character while it lvls.

What is blizzards stance on this. I have heard both that it is and is not a bannable offense. I know many people who do it and have not been banned.

I just want to make sure.

Badkarma, we do not stop players from owning and playing multiple accounts. What you want to avoid when playing both accounts is using any third party programs to automate game play in an effort to have the characters on the account playing the World of Warcraft withour your presence. There are all manner of ways to use two accounts that are not outside of our in-game policies and legal documents (Terms of Use and End User License Agreement, http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/legal/), and as long as you steer clear of behavior that could be considered exploitive (Exploitation Policy: http://www.blizzard.com/support/wowgm/?id=agm01716p) you should be A-Okay. ;)

This was once an Information Haven thread, folks—it's alright. Even so, no need to continue bumping an old thread with statements indicating that you should not bump old threads. :)
