P99 Auctions uses a program for people to download to push log data to it's site. There have been several times that I've looked at it where there were 0 contributors and nothing was being reported.

Lets see the source that proves this is the method for collection.
On red server we have seen IP exemptions for bots to collect data for PvP reasons, it turned into collecting data for ALL auctions and OOC. Why would an auction bot not receive an exemption?
And why would the operators of these data collection sites not be using a bot?
Again, if the data is being collected in-game legally I have no problem with it. If its being done underhandedly without consent, behind the staffs back, then I have a problem with it.
User submitted data, eh? I remain highly skeptical that this is the case. Unless the operator comes forward and can verify that claim, I will remain skeptical as bots are commonplace.
And we already have seen bots get exemptions and/or be illegally placed in the game using red server as an example.
