Square needs a stronger hand versus parsing tools.

[Riepah]

I'm not a big fan of parsers usually, but if somebody uses them just for their own entertainment/improvement, I see absolutely nothing wrong with it. As long as someone doesn't go and tell people that they're doing bad when said people didn't ask, using a parser shouldn't be a problem. It's also helpful to know someone who parses when you're curious about your own performance over somebody else's in the group. Often enough, when someone in DF is playing the same class as me, I get curious as to how well I'm doing, and the only way to know is if somebody has a parser running.

EDIT: Also, until SE actually shows a "stronger hand" against RMT and bots, I think calling for a stronger hand against something that doesn't harm anybody is a bit misguided. From any harassment resulting from parser results, you still have a simple case of harassment which you can report them for and (hopefully) have them punished, but outlawing and persecuting everyone who parses, well... in your own words, "witch hunts are toxic".
