Obviously you are not a trader. If you think we like sitting around adjusting orders for hours on end you are nuts. The currently delay is way too short.
Funny how you state that he's not a trader, while he actually corrected you on the 5-minute modification delay ((yes, I did read the post he actually isn't a trader)).
That being said, I rarely notice any problems with market-bots (I'm not stationed in Jita though). And some people actually are sitting around adjusting orders for hours on end. In fact, that's what we used to do in my alt's corporation (mining corp) when we had a wardec (which actually happened quite a lot since it was a rather new corp that was very fragile).
Thumbs up for thinking about improvements of the game though, but to be honest I think this is less of a problem than you think it is. Perhaps you can open a petition next time you think an order is being adjusted by a bot (give all the known information about the order like item, buy/sell, time left, amount etc. Triggering the order to find out the name behind the order is optional, but probably not required). This way CCP will take care of it in case it actually is a bot.

Automating the process will do exactly nothing to take load off the system. Quite the opposite actually.
I doubt that since the modification time will be increased to 1 hour instead of 5 minutes. I for one re-check the market price about 2-3 times on average when I notice I made a mistake or when I noticed someone's order is above mine within the 5-minute modification timer which I won't have to do anymore in that case. In fact I would rarely have to re-check it since it would be automated anyway...

Reporting bots is pretty effective. LOL if reporting bots were effective there wouldn't be any. Market bots are not reportable anyway, CCP considers them a valid use of game mechanics.
Changing the client in any way is against the EULA and so is botting... Have you ever even tried reporting them other than trying to find a button saying 'report market-bot'?
