To back up what others have said, YES IT IS CHEATING. If caught, we'll happily permaban all associated accounts.
Account sitting is certainly allowed for something like this. In fact, this is EXACTLY what we allow it for. Under the posted Game Rules you can find a great post by Dawnseeker explaining the difference between the cheating "Account sharing" and the allowed "Account sitting". Please understand that although we offer holiday mode to players, we recognize that in a free game we cannot expect only the paying players to be allowed a safe vacation. We'll always allow account sitting if done following our guidelines.
Please be very careful when you cast accusations of cheating against someone. This should never be done in public. There are quite a few tactics that can cause insanely fast prestige growth without breaking any rules and without using bots. Unless you are sure these players aren't using a legitimate means to gain prestige, don't accuse. If you are sure, then submit a ticket and report them properly.
