this would be the difference between prohibited and bannable. a prohibited action unenforced is not bannable, until the point where the prohibited action causes problems in the game. harassment or cheating would be the point where it becomes bannable. I personally don't use a parser because I don't want to come anywhere near the line of prohibited/bannable. but if others want to push the line and risk being banned, then use it at your own risk. but if you get banned you have no one to blame but yourself.
