Mouse Broadcasting - Delays violate TOS?

[zanthor]

So the guy who has been promoting a rival product to Keyclone tries to blow smoke by making up a story about the legality of it...

This is a bullshit post to try and draw attention to the other product

I've been a solid supporter and promoter of most software solutions for multiboxing discussed here. I've made it a point to understand their strengths, weaknesses, abilities, and to communicate to other users what those are. I've also made it a point to have more than a passing knowledge of hardware solutions and the abilities they offer. I'm passionate about my hobby, I'm knowledgable, and I'm open minded about potential solutions.

Also you should take care to define your terms - a 'programatic delay' is a delay that you can program in, keyclone has no such delays - and if you think there is one then please show me how to do it.

You can call a frog a duck, but when you toss him off the top of a tall building, he's still going to become a gooyey red spot on the concrete below. Blizzard doesn't care if the delay is something you control, or something someone else controls, if you run an application that has a delay in it, you are violating the TOS and risking banning. The nature of the delay on the clicks KeyClone broadcasts does not seem to be a windows issue to me - it seems to be a byproduct of a work around that KeyClone had to impliment to make mouse broadcasting work. The intention is not to harm the user or delay anything, but the general assumption new users have is that KeyClone is 100% OK because blizzard stated that a VERY early VERY primative version of KeyClone was legitimate.

As far as I know the rival product has plenty of ability to program in keystrokes and all manner of naughtiness that could get you banned

Several other products have this ability, thats been established, no ones arguing with this fact.

so GM guy says Keyclone is fine.


OK! :thumbsup:

Read the link, he's saying that KeyClones fine, he's saying pauses are not, KeyClone pauses to broadcast mice clicks, they happen over a spread of about 2-3 seconds for 5 clients... I'm not saying it WILL get you banned, but I'm saying it SHOULD be something people are aware of. Especially since the feature in it's current state is now getting a lot of press from other users. Assuming Rob gets the pause removed, then all is back to normal and KeyClone regains it's status as the least likely to let something naughty happen.
