Chat Macros in POE [Over here GGG!]

Hi everyone! I searched a while to find out the official GGG position on chat macros, but I found nothing recent and very few answers from GGG so here I am.

(Please GGG answer this!)

I read somewhere that the general rule for macro is: max 1 server side action per macro. If I understand correctly, 1 chat message sent = 1 server side action, right?

Many people confirm this, but I never saw a GGG post on the subject and I would like to be sure I won't be banned. Is it possible to confirm this please?

I'm currently using chat macros with AHK to fast reply to trade requests, or to say various things like "Thank you, have a nice day!". (I know, I'm lazy)

Here is an example :

Busy macro
F3::
BlockInput On
SendInput ^{Enter}
Sleep 50
SendInput Hi{!} I'm in a map right now, I'll write you as soon as I'm done.
Sleep 50
SendInput {Enter}
BlockInput Off
return

More fancy macro
F6::
BlockInput On

Random, message, 1, 3

SendInput ^+{Enter}
Sleep 50
if message=1
{
SendInput Thank you for the invite{!}
}
if message=2
{
SendInput Much appreciated, thx for the invite{!} :)
}
if message=3
{
SendInput Thank you{!} <3
}
Sleep 50
SendInput {Enter}
BlockInput Off
return

Thanks for your advice!

EDIT: If I get an answer from GGG, I'd be happy to help the community (and people not comfortable with programming) and make a thread with helpful macros!

"
My preferred macro rule is: "/remaining, /hideout, /oos and logout macro are allowed". It's a lot clearer than the one-action rule and answers all of the questions people have when they try to explain how their complex macro is technically only one action.

macros that send one line of text to the chat window shouldn't be a problem. it's clearly one action per keypress, manually triggered and not running in a loop.
