As stated in Blizzard's Terms of Use for World of Warcraft, under #5: Rules of Conduct, section B: Rules Related to "Chat" and Interaction With Other Users, paragraph #10:
"you may not: ...Communicate directly with players who are playing characters aligned with the opposite faction (e.g. Horde communicating with Alliance or vice versa); or"
Please hire GM's that know the Terms of Use for the company/product they are hired to moderate, or at least ones that won't state for fact things that are obviously untrue. I can understand if a GM doesn't know something and asks me to wait a minute while he/she looks it up, but when I directly ask him/her of Babelfish is a violation of Terms of Use and he/she flat out says it is not, I don't appreciate finding out that the GM lied to me.
Also, please do something about all the people I've reported for using Babelfish. I've seen way too many people talk to an opposing faction and then I die to some rogue of the opposing faction while the person who yelled jumbled words sits idly by, /point and /laugh 'ing at me.
The use of this addon is rampant, and people caught using it (it would be quite easy to find them) should be penalized.
Either change your Terms of Use to allow it, or actually step up to the plate and take action for the people that obviously use it. If it's going to be against your Terms of Use, enforce it. If not, change the Terms of Use so I can install the addon and do the same crap that I've had done to me many times.
End QQ/rant.
edit: I should have said that the GM stated that communicating with the opposing faction is not against ToU, not Babelfish specifically.
