    You might have read that incorrectly (or rather interpreted it in a way that nobody else ever would) I suspect, probably out of your wannabe troll-ish desperation to be noticed.

The use of scripts, extensions, applications or any other kind of software is allowed only if it uses data from our API or a page you (or your users) have loaded manually and are currently viewing. They cannot make additional non-API requests to Torn, scrape pages that you're not currently viewing, or attempt to bypass the captcha. If the software you're using makes non-API requests that are not manually triggered by you, it is not allowed and can be tracked.

How are Forum Blocker and Chat Blocker allowed? If you have things blocked, how are you manually viewing them? If they block posts/chats isnt that a non - API request?

Also with Auto Travel, Bazaar Listings how does this work around the rules?

Also are these scripts certified?

Edit: except the API

Yes this game does seem to have dictatorship like rules. And its the interpretations of the dictators that decide who is allowed to do things.

Staff have already proved that the Terms Of Use means nothing unless they want to silence certain individuals.
