Would you like an in-game parser?

[Kaurie]

You know what might be even better for the party ? Talking.
Sharing strat so that no one would be caught "off-guard" by a "Oh, you do this that way"

talking to each other and using a parser are not mutually exclusive.

It's nice and all but it sill does not answer one question: Why do I have to be parsed because this fellow want a parser ? Why do everybody have to eat pancakes because some of us want them ?

These are entirely different - this is a cooperative team environment, where your performance directly affects the people you are paired with. If you not eating a pancake somehow caused me pain, wasted my time, or otherwise directly affected me, then yes I'd say eat a pancake. Luckily for both of us they don't (I have celiac and gluten free pancakes are gross).

That's because right now it's a banable offense(or the rumor has it). If you use a parser and don't talk about it it's all cool, even if detected chances are GMs are gonna look the other way, but if you use one, openly admit it in chat and harass another player based on it you can bet your ass it's not gonna end well.

What I find odd about this is then, really, the only bannable offense is harassment - no? Like I can't imagine that there should be more leniency to say harassing someone because of their gender/race/sexual orientation, then there would be at harassing based on DPS. Perhaps I am wrong on that.
