Well...since I was mentioned and I actually caught it, I feel obligated to now jump in.

I'm not sure how it's an echo chamber when most of the arguments presented by those who hold an anti-parser stance were countered. There are a lot of people who would like to see something like this, and again, if it's a purely personal parser, I fail to see how it leads to an increase in toxicity as long as it remains personal. Like, seriously, nobody but the player running it will ever see it...unless they do something like share it with other players. The argument that I've seen brought up here and there about others saying post screens doesn't make the current ToS go away - if someone is asking for a screen of your personal parser, it's simple enough to just report them. The funny thing is that, I made a strong mention of personal parsers for PS4 users - but the thread itself has gone in the direction of parsing in general becoming official. It's not an automatic echo chamber just because multiple people disagree with you over several pages. It's just more people that may disagree with your reasoning.
