Parsing unfair but okay?

- That is their stance on parsers. That's Yoshi-P talking into the camera right there.

What people think of them, for or against. Harassment or not - all of that is of no consequence.


That noted... if you join a parsing run and somebody else does the parsing and gives you a link to your results, send that to whoever you're applying to.

YoshiP does say to not use them in that video, and then right after follows up with it's a grey area and that SE cannot see what is running on your system.

YoshiP is trying to heavily discourage the harassment mentality, and the mentality of "You must parse THIS high to access THIS content".

SE cannot see the program running. Therefore, for any ban to happen, they have to have proof. When someone is harassing someone else via chat and using that data to belittle them, there's the proof. To back themselves up legally, the reason for the ban would be "harassment", because SE can prove that via their chat logs. They cannot, 100%, prove you have a parser.

EDIT: Or, as someone else stated, someone being a complete idiot and basically admitting they are running it via the in game chat. For which anyone with half a brain wouldn't.
