New ban policy, is this safe?
Closed this issue · 2 comments
This looks amazing, I want to try it out but I don't know if you are aware of the recent new bans.
If you are have you been using it? Did you get the warning?
This is completely of the radar. I can't find this(veera/orchees) on google search, or google search on 4chan boards, obviously not Reddit and not both discords(gaijin/gbfint).
No third party tool is truly "safe". All of them are against ToS and you could be banned if they so feel like.
Apparently they've even said using bookmarks (or "bookmark managers"?) is disallowed.
That said, Veera doesn't inject or change anything so it does not trigger the warning (not that this is a foolproof indication of safety) and works mostly transparently. They have been very lenient on these and I think the risk is still very low, but obviously the topic is in focus right now. No telling where we will end up. Use at your own risk.
As an aside, I'm taking a break until things calm down a bit. I'll likely implement a few qol features from other extensions afterwards once I figure out how to best do so.
Another ban wave just came out, it seems that the real issue is really just about UI modifications. A lot of reports on continuing to use Viramate with disabled functions and not getting suspended. I'm still using a few of my own scripts and Veera is still installed throughout all this, didn't get anything.
