Tamper data to send mercs?

I know the tamper data question has come up many times before, but this question isn't regarding buying mercs or buying any thing else using tamper data..... it is about sending mercs to an officer using tamper data.

At the moment trying to send someone a million mercs takes a long time at 999 per click and also very tiring for the hands and fingers.

Would it be considered 'against the rules' to use tamper data to send mercs to officers? I don't see why this should be considered illegal because you wouldn't actually be buying mercs your just sending them to someone.... so instead of of using TD to get an advantage over others it would actually be used to just speed up the process of sending mercs to an officer and also reduce the chances of players receiving RSI (Repetative Strain Injury).

I would like views on this from someone with some authority.

Thank you. :D

Since Forum has declared Data Tampering legal then I can't see how this is concider illegal.

Tamper data is also being used to buy mercs as soon as the turn changes so if it is legal I think it should be reconsidered.

Last think i heard from Forum is that Tamper date is cheating, and will be dealt with, and was dealt with in the past with even deleting some accounts.
I will ask him again, but as i know its cheating.

Can you ask Forum specifically about sending mercs to Officers rather than buying mercs.

Surely using it to send mercs can't be cheating?

I know of more then 1 person using it regularly and nothing has happened to them yet. I would like to see a definite answer from forum tho. He has given 1 answer and it says
