Definitely. I am all for a compromise, I just feel that adding it in parts (or not fully) will only exacerbate the problems that the 'anti-parser' crowd fears. This will only serve to 1. increase harassment and 2. feed the idea that all parsers are bad.

I think a better solution would be to add it full as a group parser that can be toggled on and off anywhere. Put in strict ToS regarding the use of the tool, with perhaps a legalese-free option to read (as most people don't read formal ToS's). The only term I can think of is pretty much already in the ToS (don't abuse/harass other players), but if you can think of anything else, I am all ears. Then the punishments for breaking the rules go in steps
1. Formal Warning,
2. Temporary removal of parser on account,
3. Temporary ban from game,
4. Permanent removal of parser on account,
5. Permanent ban from game.
