I would like to know how is the situation.

You don't have anything to worry about as long as you are not cheating. It is ok to use Notecaddy, TST, HM2, PT4, partycaption and countless other programs. These spanish crying here right now were not banned because they used Notecaddy. The community has just gotten more active in helping sites ban cheaters. While all the sites claim they have tools to catch cheaters, the tools on any site aren't effective enough to catch everyone.
Also keep in mind that if someone gets caught, they won't be coming to 2+2 to say that "Oops, I cheated and got banned". They'll come and try to provide a sob story how they were banned for no reason. Or they won't come to 2+2 at all which has been the case with many cheaters (remember
jackaroo/BluDevill from last year, as an example?)
Sometimes there are cases like the HU player which are really complicated and judging by the way
that thread developed, truth will come out and a fair result will be gotten in the end.
Last May, before meeting Party execs, I said I'll judge them based on their actions in the next few months. It's been 4 months now and I can honestly say Party has taken great steps forward since then and all the hours I've spent on helping them as well haven't been for nothing.
