Would you be opposed to SE implementing a program to scan for addons/parsers?

Cheaters are going to cheat, bud. SE can implement every single mod and ACT currently used by players and design their content around those features, and what happens is new cheats will be used to make that content easier, or mods will be used to make available what isn't. The goalposts will always be moved. It also isn't just about making things easier, it's also about these players having advantages over other players who can't or won't use the addons. Then there is the element of simply just respecting the content as it is intended to be played. It is so odd to me that players somehow will place blame on the dev team when they are the ones being disrespected.

It's a really good thing I'm not Yoshi, as my own hammer of fairness is completely and totally indiscriminate. I wouldn't last long in his position as I would eliminate any future ultimate content, housing, and any other feature in the game where there are those who stand to benefit by stepping on others. But I come from a level of discipline where if a child eats a cookie when they are not supposed to, all of the cookies are thrown out.

I mean, I pretty much acknowledged that this would always be a thing. I'm mostly just calling on the devs to be less reactive and acting so surprised when they have allowed this to happen for long and be more proactive by adding some things that players feel the need to mod in. The devs acting like their feelings are hurt isn't going to do anything. Like you said, cheaters are going to cheat. If the devs don't like it, then give players some reasons NOT to. Ultimates are free advertising, so I'd probably call Yoshi P's bluff if he ever threatened to stop making them.
