More likely they finished up their analysis of the credit exploiters and did a mass banning of the offenders. And some of those banned are trying to hide under the skirts of log parsers.

I think they have made it pretty clear that parsers are not bannable. Even I am convinced. So why is this thread still going?

I'd be willing to bet that anyone who says they were banned for using MOX is lying...

Yeah. Leggomy is a self professed cautious skeptic on this topic. So if Leggomy has bought in on parsers being OK... you know it's okey dokie.

I'm sure more people would be banned from using Mox parser and no doubt would be posting on the forums if it was behind such bannings.

Or is it the luck of the draw, some rng that gets you banned if you use the program?
