It has, in the past, been considered the same as getting outside assistance for your game.

Yeah, it's considered cheating here.  Probably a warning and maybe a forced adjudication in this case.

The main line of the Caro-Kann advance variation is 4 Nf3 (1 e4 c6 2 d4 d5 3  e5 Bf5 4 Nf3).

The side lines in the order of incidence: 

4 Nc3 4 h4 4 Bd3
 
Hmmm... I would hardly call 4. Nc3 a side line. It has gotten a better review by a lot of people than the Short System (4. Nf3).

Meantime I informed my opponent about this situation and he moved by his own mind, so the problem is solved. Anyway it is an interesting question and I asked support to comment it.
