Is this considered botting?

    I'm playing with a controller right now, and for whatever reason, it can't hold down the Ctrl, Alt, or Shift keys.
    Holding that mapped button will only activate it once, so I can't jump repeatedly unless Jump is mapped to something else.
    To remedy this, I set those buttons to Turbo at 10 times per second.

    I have some concern that this might upset an admin, and they will consequently punish me as a result.
    I am not AFK farming, and I will never plan to do so.
    I will, however, joke around and press Down ~17 times a second.

    Please tell me what I am and am not allowed to do.

    As long as you're not afk you're good imo
    Before banning a botter, a GM warps the player to a different map to see if he's still botting or trying to get his response at the same map

    I'm sure that if they keyboard delay thingy is allowed this should be allowed

    Find it funny things done by a person can be "considered" botting. It's not botting since you are doing it, no. Only when a 3rd party utility is doing stuff for you is it botting, calling people afk farming with something heavy on a key, botting is wrong.

    Don't see a problem

    ^^ What the others said, you are clearly not botting with a controller, so you're fine.

    One thing I do wanna warn you about is that there is a chance our auto-ban system might think you're hacking and ban you, as you're pressing buttons far quicker than any human can. Especially in combination with connection/server lag. This ban can be appealed, and if we believe you weren't hacking you will be unbanned, but you still lose playtime and you risk getting permanently banned.
