Are you aware you can initiate auto run by clicking the middle mouse button and dragging forward?

so no dev has closed this and banned the guy yet...

I would appreciate if you can quote something from the term of service or user agreement. I simply skipped that part (most of us do I think hehe)

Thank you!

Hi Anas86,

The macro feature of that mouse or the software that came with it is not allowed by SE, even with attended gameplay, can be considered "absent play". If you continue to use it, you will do be doing so at your own risk.

(The mouse itself is not prohibited, but taking advantage of those features are).

Found an explanation regarding this topic with a French-English translation provided by Matsume (Thank you Matsume!)

GM in training?

OP, enjoy your mouse. Don't let these moralfa--uhhh, super jelly two button mouse players scare you.

Naga 4 lyfe!

I don't see how her telling someone that the macro may get them banned is being a "moralfag" or wannabe GM. I perceived it as advice: That he should stop using it in case SE interprets it as a bot and bans him.

Please note the subtle difference: She was saying he MIGHT get banned. She was NOT saying that he SHOULD be banned.

Hi Treach,

I apologize if that was misinterpreted as a threat or with a condescending tone.

It was meant more as a "please be safe, would like to advise on the side of caution" since we have a SE representative clarifying the subject more.

No but I am now, didn't even think to use the middle button - evidently I was being dense.

Cheers.

I'd love to be able to switch bar pages with the buttons on the side of my mouse, but unfortunately SE hasn't given us the ability to do so yet.

You can also drag it other directions to start running that way.

I find it an increasing irritation when companies don't allow you to map things to the mouse, the majority of aftermarket mice and ALL decent quality ones are now 5 button or more so why deny people the ability to use those functions. If I can map 'switch to lightsaber' to my mouse buttons in 'Jedi Knight 2 Jedi Outcast' then why the hell can't I do it in a game that came out over 10 years later? Hell when jedi outcast came out 3 button mice were something of a novelty.
