What is and what isn't considered cheating?

OK so I have a couple questions. I know single action macros like auto logout, /oos, /remaining, and /itemlevel are allowed.

Are chicken scripts allowed? I've never used these but I'd imagine they aren't. You know, a program that reads your health/ES level and auto-logouts when you reach a certain %.

What about inventory/stash auto-sorters? Not allowed or allowed? It provides basically no advantage then other players other then minimal convenience.

The day I decided to finally organize my HC stash. That was hell. Let me tell you. 3-4 hours straight. Hundreds of stash tabs. Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!

In a temp league or say, a 1 week race, this means the guy with the sorter has a distinct advantage in time saved. It'd be nice if GGG could implement a global utility like this, but, until they do, which would guarantee universal availability, it's against the rules. ='[.]'=

Thanks for the quick reply Bex.

So anything that is automated is not allowed.

Any news on if QoL improvements like a sorter will be coming out ever? What about an in-game hotkey that automatically logs out? I find it hard to believe that GGG can't put in an item sorter fairly easily. I remember playing Arcanum like 10+ years ago and it had a rudimentary sorter, just one that would rearrange things in your inventory to give you more space. Even that would make a big difference.

What about talk to text software? Id like to be able to talk into my headset and have it type what I'm saying to my party in game. Is something like this allowed?

Chris mentioned in a recent announcement thread that quality of life issues that have been raised recently will be addressed.

I'd assume this will be just behind the trading system in development.

When exactly is hell scheduled to freeze over?
