Macros are a violation of speedrun.com rules. If you leave it up it's likely speedrun.com will force you to take the sub category down or the entire page. This sort of thing happened with Half-Blox 2 but fortunately zir0nic removed the category.

did you just ignore the "Exceptions can be made on a community basis"?
wikipedia says that a tool-assisted speedrun is generally defined as speedrunning a game in an emulator with the goal of creating a theoretically perfect playthrough. As the name implies, a TAS is not performed by an actual human being, but rather by a program or a piece of software that delivers frame-perfect optimized controller input to complete the game in the fastest way possible.
The idea is not to make gameplay easier for players, but rather to produce a playthrough at a level of gameplay impractical for a human player.
macros do make it easier, a lot easier, it is the biggest time saving glitch in the game and most of the community runs macro categories
don't worry about it lol, it's something I avoided until I realized how prevalent the clipping was within the community and the decision to include it here was more or less made by the majority of us. Needless to say it's most likely going to stay unless it becomes a problem where I'm forced to remove it.
