Would you like an in-game parser?

The poll on the front of this page says otherwise.

That's a hilariously slippery slope if you want to try and defend forum likes to a objective view of the player base. Even as a guy who has threads with several hundred likes I'm well aware that the forums opinion doesn't reflect the community as a whole.

The forums group is a pretty committed group of players and the type who know what a parser even is and how it can be used for good purposes. The majority of players in the game wouldn't even know what a parser is even if it slapped them in the face. It's these players and the small subsect of core players who would abuse this and use it to harass players rather than use it for personal gains. You overestimate the ability of players to use this tool for good instead of ill.

Well, that's what we have to work with. Maybe we should be pushing SE for an official poll.
