SE's most difinitive statement yet on parsers

Key statement is the second to last paragraph: "We would also like to remind players that third-party tools that modify or parse game data violate the User Agreement, and that players who are found to be using these tools will be met with strict disciplinary action."

I apologize if someone else has posted this info. I looked and couldn't find a thread on today's statement. Note that this time they specifically mentioned parsers by name (in the past they have typically stated, in response to questions on whether parsers are ok, that 3rd party programs that affect game play are not permitted, making it pretty clear they were referring to parsers but some have argued otherwise). Even more significant, they made this statement in a posting on banning actions taken against players for TOS violations.
