Well if two players are of equal skill and one is using the clear scope whereas the other isn't, then technically it's going to give the former an advantage. However, as it has already been pointed out, it's not much of an advantage since your ability to aim isn't augmented in any way... only how much of the surrounding area you can see while zoomed in.

While some people may feel that any advantage that one person can get over another is a form of cheating, the playing field is always going to be somewhat uneven with regards to the different hardware the players are running the game on, their internet connection, etc. I'm not saying that this is the same as the slight advantage one player may have over another due to a better framerate, because it isn't. The comparison that I'm trying to draw between the two is that on the whole, the outcome of the game is not really going to be altered by these kinds of small differences between players. I would frown upon using a clear scope myself, but to ban people from servers for something that gives more aesthetic advantages to the user than anything else smells of a witch hunt to me.
