SE's most difinitive statement yet on parsers

[Krr]

the person I was responding to is some how psychically linked to everyone at SE because she can tell us what they are thinking,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-WXYg-S05U#t=367 Is this mind-reading? An official interview with the game's director?

In the interview, parsers are clearly laid out as a different and more complex issue than explicit cheats such as botting and hacking programs, and that their impact on gameplay is marginal enough to not warrant a major crackdown, and that, unofficially, they simply hope that players show discretion with the use of these tools as to affecting their public behavior. So far, no other statement from the director has contradicted this "official legal statements from the company are not necessarily moral or social condemnations of player behavior" attitude.
