What a lot of people don't realize, is that the mods take what is posted here very seriously. The content of this site affects every multiboxer because this is where people get their information. I don't want to see someone banned because they saw X program here. If / when that ever happens, that's going to be a dark day for me because I could have done something about it. I'm not saying that day will ever come, I just want people to be informed as much as they can be.

The reason I started locking MC threads was because I didn't like the idea of a user with 1 post selling something here. It was my opinion (and still is) that Ellay personally needs to approve anything that is sold here. As soon as Ellay gives the word, I'll open up MC threads and move them back, no problems. But I do have problems with the blatant attempt EvilSeed made to hide who he was. I'm curious that he only admited it when he was called out on it, would he have willingly admited it? We'll never know.

Grey software is grey, use at your own risk, anything that hasn't been blatantly expressed as ok by Blizzard. This goes for everything and anything. If you want to use MC, go right ahead, I'm not telling you what you should or should not use. I'm just trying to do my part to look after the site owners and supporters. If you have a problem with mods protecting the interests of the site, then why are you here?
Now this statement about protecting the general users of this website is one I can appreciate and even respect. Grey software is gray for sure (pun on gray/grey!). But let us step back and take a look at the history of multiboxing. Blizzard's initial stance was a "3rd party software = ban". Then Blizzard's stance changed, and it has changed many times. Their latest stance is based upon the "1 action from a user resulting in 1 action per wow window = OK". That stance is what Mousecloner is all about. Mousecloner has *zero* ways to automate WoW. If it ever had one by some creative means, be assured I will stamp it out right away.

As far as your comments about me "hiding", I think it warrants the situation to think about things objectively and distance yourself from uninformative opinions others have made. On my Evilseed account, I listed a software I was creating called MC (aka Mousecloner). I then created a Mousecloner account exclusively to deal with questions/feature requests/etc from users (versus generic posting). I have mentioned correlating information between both accounts, thereby making it public the relationship between both. I even relate Evilseed to Mousecloner on other websites (re: my wowhead.com profile). There is nothing hidden here because there is nothing to hide.

Think about the 2 scenarios that exist here.

Scenario #1 (I'll call it Fursphere scenario)

I am making a piece of vaporware software simply to get people to give me their email address for some unwhitting scene. I have no public morals and no respect for people and the game the play in general. My benefit from this is unknown at the time, but it must exist for some devious reason. I am bad at hiding the identity of Evilseed and Mousecloner, but I wish to hide the correlation for yet another devious reason that is yet to be unearthed.

Scenario #2 (I'll call it the truth)

I am making a piece of software called Mousecloner because I love World of Warcraft and I love contributing to the community. As I have done with sites like Wowhead.com in the past (I was the former CEO/partner), and as I have done present (mousecloner.com, wtbblue.com, and hopefully more) and in the future, I am always working on projects with the main goal to better a persons enjoyment of the game. My benefit from this is the warm fuzzy feeling of helping others and maybe at some point to take the project from beyond a break-even point financially.

Look at the 2 scenarios and ask yourself which one is more viable. If you have some extra time, do some searches on google/forums/whatever and see if your choice on the viable scenario is in fact the correct one.

To all the loves and haters, I still say cheers
