A basic /oos script would be something like this:
Send {Enter} < This is sending one action
Send /oos < This is sending the second action, third action, fourth action, and fifth action for typing out / o o s the O is repeated.
Send {Enter} < This is sending the sixth action AND repeating the first action, Send {Enter}

No. Pressing enter opens the chat console in your client, it doesn't send anything to the server. Typing letters doesn't send anything to the server, either. When you finish typing and hit enter, then the client sends ONE string ("/oos") to the server, which represents ONE command ("resync my client with the server").

It is one action.

The "rule" is this:

"

Any macro that performs more than one action is bannable, as is anything that sends it based on a timer. It's fine to have a button that triggers a function like /oos, or casts an aura, but having a timer to repeat actions or text posts is not allowed.

That is sending a repeat action. It does not say based on commands to the server. He also says anything on a timer to repeat actions or text posts is not allowed.

How much more ambigious do you need to be?

Technically having a repeat action such as Send {Enter} <insert message> and Send {Enter} that performs more than one action. This is not nit picking. This is trying to have an official statement on what is allowed and what is not allowed by explicit list.

Yes, you are right. Sending /oos is THE ONLY command the server receives but the "ruling" (I use "ruling" loosely because it's almost too ambiguous) states that if it performs more than one action.

What we need is explicit list of scripts that is a Yes.

Such as:

What is legal:
1. /oos script
2. /remaining script

What is not legal:
1. Trade chat spam

Or else we get questions such as "Is one button log out legal?" because it uses multiple actions to hit log out but sends one command to the server. 1 click portal sends multiple actions but only inputs one action to the server. So on and so forth.

Use of that macro is bannable. Advertising of the macro is not bannable, as far as I know. I don't watch his stream. I've heard tell of him using the macro, but haven't seen any video evidence of it. I don't care to dig through a stream that I have no desire to watch to find it.

If you want to see him banned, the best thing for you to do to make that happen would be to record him using the macro and report him for it by sending an email to support.

If you were to do that, and then no action was taken, I, for one, would be behind you 100% in saying that someone at GGG isn't doing their job properly.

Like you, I have zero desire to try and find that. I really don't care. It's not like it is any less annoying when people do it by using the up key, I'm just pointing out people don't really get banned for it.

because you can spam it and walk around to make sure you are properly synched there... it's just ridiculous at some point...

I was holding my macro and my mouse and figured out how boring it was as system to play in... PoE has a great potential but that /oos is killing most of the fun I had...

Hey a boss! *gotta mash that /oos macro*
