So uh, the not-ACT "parser" is called FFXIV-APP. It was designed more for things like gathering notifications and also has a logger plugin. You still have to do the physical act of copy-pasting the log into something else (I like google docs for easy sharing), but it'll survive game disconnects/crashes and supports as many tabs as you'd like, including filtering. I think it has a method of saving logs on its own, but I've not delved into it enough to find out.
As per my policy of saving logs, I ask the people involved first, and they're usually the ones I'd provide a link for. If someone unrelated wants the log, I ask the involved people before sharing it. This is in part so we can fix up the log if there are some typos, but also because on rare occasions, something may be retconned or edited out to be kept a secret. ...I also tend to not open my logger often enough to where it's only open if people start talking about logs.
It should be noted that openly saying you use a parser or other game addon while in-game is something other players can report you for. As an extension of the general FFXIV Terms of Service, in-depth discussion and the usage of unsanctioned addons for FFXIV fall into the same grey-area on the RPC, as per our Rules.
