    However, there are ways to implement parsers while mitigating the negative effects.
    Abuse and Harassment is unacceptable in all forms, which is where proper teaching and enforcement come into play.

    You don't restrict the functions of a calculator or a stopwatch because someone might get upset that they got poor results, you allow systems that teach them why they got those results and you punish the people who would harass them for getting them in the first place.

    What sounds like the better approach? Take away / disallow game functions that everyone can benefit from because people can abuse them without proper education and oversight? Or, Teach people the hows and whys of the tools and their functions and weed out the bad applies via GMs?
