Would you like an in-game parser?

[Reinha]

Probably not, which is why this is doomed from the get go. To give something with no restrictions attached, people will not be civil or treat it correctly. You'd have to have one with the other. Though you're right, they won't. So this will eventually just cause a lot more harm than the good it could do. Which sucks a bit in the end.

The best way to do it would be to give everyone a choice. A choice to parse the group if it's a premade, a choice to parse ourselves everywhere, a choice to not be parsed in DF and a choice to see which premade groups are using the in-game parser -> a choice to avoid them or join them.

This could be done by making it an option in the duty settings (only available to toggle for premades), and it would cause no need for extra moderation or limitations by SE because those who are not happy reporting a parser douche bag after the fact can take the initiative and avoid the chance of bumping into them in the first place (external parsers would be redundant so their use/abuse would be extremely rare). It's the perfect compromise but people like to take away choices from others which is why these threads spiral into arguments.
