TM was being used since the dawn of times, but it was only being labelled a cheat when someone gets caught using it clearly (+10cps). For many years (at least from 2016) this was the case; people would use TM, tolerate the use of TM, and look the other way when it comes to TM for 2 main reasons:

1. It's impossible to prove that a =<10cps user e.g is in fact, a TM user.
2. The people that usually make the TM accusations are most of the time, TM users as well. So eventually they just stop throwing accusations and they move on. Some of the players that don't use TM but complain when others used it, have also learned to use TM as well and just lead a happy SHC life.

As for whether it's allowed nowadays or no, I personally find no sense in "not allowing TM" for the reasons mentioned above. And with the gold records' craze (which depends on using a high speed TM) that has been going on lately, a lot of players - myself included - had to use a high speed TM to participate in this race. But I still believe that +10 cps is not natural and cannot be sustained constantly throughout an entire game of SHC. So I believe that a "10cps max" rule would make more sense: it's not slow, and it's not super fast, does not cause gold glitching when removing buildings and most importantly - it would finally stop the hypocrisy where most of the players of this community pretend that they are not TM users.
