For stuff like paydaying oder shiny hunting straight the whole day I know me and others did this, same for GTL sniping.
On the other hand a quick google search revealed that there are payday/catch/gtl snipe bots. And I also felt like that at some point that there are to many people with sketchy names using the same routes to a spot with the same delay. But they were gone next day so they are probaly banned.
