I responded as an addendum to the locked thread, but I'll repeat here for posterity:
Software is not as much sanctioned by us as it is by Blizzard (in the case of programs that target WoW multiboxing). Your product was marketed as "safe" and "legal" to use with WoW, which is most certainly not the case.1) How do I go about getting software sanctioned for posting and/or use on these forums?
It is generally a good idea to PM the owner of the website you wish to advertise on (whether or not your program is freeware) as a simple courtesy. If you had done that (to Ellay, site owner; or to another mod, who would've forwarded your message to Ellay), likely we would've caught the mistake before you went public with the program. So, as a general rule, message the website admin (for any site, not just ours) if you intend to advertise a new program on that website. It's respectful to the site owner and you can completely avoid any misunderstandings.
If you look in the software forums, you'll find many products besides Keyclone. Your initial question, I've answered above. :)2) Is this even something I can do? Meaning, is this board exclusive to Key Clone, whereas, anything else cannot be posted.
A full and complete feature list. If the feature list contains no items which violate the WoW terms of use/eula, then you can make a good-faith claim that it is safe and legal for WoW. We do have programs which have the capability of breaking ToU features (indeed, Logitech G15s, Steelseries WoW mouse, Nostromo N52's can all break the rules if used incorrectly) -- the difference here is that they are very clear about the claims they make and which functions violate the rules (and, if applicable, how to turn these features off).3) Besides posting source code, what can I do to prove legitimacy?
If you had come onto the forums without the claim of legality and safety for WoW, likely you would not have your program locked. However, listing which features should not be used for WoW would probably be a good idea (ala HKN's disclaimer), if you do choose this route. You know, a sort of "This plastic bag is not a toy" or "Do not eat" disclaimer.
We don't necessarily ENDORSE products as much as we allow discussion of products. If you're asking if it could be posted on this site, you'll have to ask Ellay for confirmation -- but, like I mentioned before, there are products that have the capability of delays/timers/macros (i.e. G15s, Nostromos, Steelseries WoW mouse, AHK, HKN...) but you must make it very clear which features are unacceptable and shouldn't be utilized. We don't allow false claims of legality on these forums, and we encourage developers to try and make their products as rule-abiding as possible -- or, if not, as clear as possible when it comes to features violating the rules.Can dual-boxing.com endorse a program that has such features? Or would it have to be removed first?
We don't want to get anyone banned due to misinformation.
