Reportbot account locked

[olokos]

Hi,

I've been thinking about creating a reportbot, quite possibly just for myself, but I've read that accounts used for reportbotting might be locked whatever that means. I couldn't exactly get any information on that, such as what does that mean.

It's not connected to vac or ow at all, but I've heard that it has something to do with steam itself.

What does account locked mean?
How can I avoid locking such account?
How can I check if an account is locked?

Thanks.
