The answer is no, you can't have them, the devs have never moved so much as an inch on this. You can't have them because people will use them as a stick to beat others with. If you have ever communicated with players using 3rd party aps like Discord then you already know this is true. If you allow their use in game arguments will flare up in anything harder than copperbell mines.

The devs know this, so they won't let you have parsers and anyone who thinks they won't get used in a very negative way frequently is either naive or lying.
Anyone who thinks they aren't already being used that way is either naive or lying. This is no different from saying "no pot shops in my hometown!!" Guess what, cannabis is already being sold in your home town, just not by responsible people.
