SE's most difinitive statement yet on parsers

[Zakalwe]

Cheating?
Lol. Oh please.

Again, not commenting on whether 3rd party programs that parse game data are good or bad. But according to SE, in their most clear language yet, yes they are TOS violations, cheats, and are considered ban-worthy (as in, bans have already been hammered and more can be expected). Catching those who use dps-meters, radar programs, and other 3rd party programs that parse game data may not always be easy, but continuing to argue that SE does not consider them bannable TOS violations is not really an option.
