If you think it should be allowed, it's going to be one more thing that is slowly turning the server to shit. There are already very few reasons to use the neutral AH.
Going down the route of banning players for using addons is not a good way to go. At all. If an AH bot is programmable with the API then so be it. We are stuck with the 1.12 client API.
And no it isn't going "to turn the server to shit". Just stop putting items up for snipe-able prices. What would turn the server to shit is more arbitrary bans.
