That means that things that multiply clicks/commands across clients are fine, since every command the client gets is "fresh from the user". By contrast, a program that runs a particular command on an interval (like turning guns on, or something) is illegal and considered botting, since those commands are not a result of user input. Hope that clears this up a bit. It's a common question, and the distinction is fine, but the bottom line is: if you aren't touching your keyboard/mouse, your ship(s) shouldn't be taking any new actions.

If the game doesnt have this feature built in, it seems rather dumb they would allow something that obviously is not for the better of this game. Also to say the commands of the player are "fresh" when hes never even looked at the screen is comical. CCP is against botting, and that is why reporting a bot is very easy (just right click). There has also been a recent big initiative to get bots out of the game and improve life for everyone by doing so. If you feel that what you are witnessing is botting or other exploiting the game for an unfair advantage, please report it and someone will address it in an official manner -- which will be way more productive and efficient than bickering about it on the forums.
