Call me a fool but I can totally understand that if you press 1 key and it gets send to 5 clients, there is automation involved. Keybroadcasting is some form of automation. Automation in my book is something you don't need to do yourself, so 4 out of the 5 are automated keypresses. One can argue about the semantics, but I wouldn't call someone retarded for sticking to that logic.

The point is however that it's allowed by bliizzard, could even call it non banable automation. So the whole discussion doesn't really matter. Truth is that there are so many ways to accomplish this (think about the 5x mouse tied to 1 stick) it's basically irrelevant.
