Following that rule you wouldn't be allowed to have any custom content
(maps, models, gamemodes) at all.
It specifically says "csgo items" with reference to the player's
inventory, meaning this is about real items with a market value.
Let's not forget why this request exists: OPs allowed players to gain
access to all items of marketable value (against fees/"donations").

I'm not sure. It almost seems like it could go either way. It says
allowing users to gain access to csgo items that aren't in their
inventory. I would read that to mean that skins that are not
officially part of the csgo game/economy can be given on servers. But
I don't know. It might "devalue" skins of there are better skins
available off the market in community servers.

Sorry to whoever I'm quoting in advance; this is off-topic.
Is it an alien idea for servers to run plugins that give people...
Unique, custom skins? Stuff that isn't part of the CSGO economy in
the first place. I remember CS 1.6 servers doing this for years.
Do the new CSGO rules disallow things this far?

would be
absolutely no oversight on this process as well.

A different idea:
Since overwatch is out of beta, it gives you rank
points for
accurate reviews. Why not do the same for reporting
servers?

needs to be some
way to deal with idle servers. And XP is given
out based on game
mode + points earned at the end of the match.
Something like a
1v1 server (which is technically generally run
in a classic
casual game mode) issues you points based on
what arena you're
in. Somebody who goes 35:10 for the whole map
and happens to end
in the bottom arena would gain less XP than
somebody who just
joined, goes 8:0, and ends in the top arena.
Or somebody who
plays 10 minutes in deathmatch would get
significantly less XP
than somebody who plays 10 minutes in a FFA
deathmatch, just
because they have fewer targets to kill.
It sounded like a good idea while I was typing
it, but I think
in practicality, it would either be impossible
or it would turn
into something like "You can earn XP on your
servers if you have
such-and-such cvars enabled and you're not
running this or that
plugin", which would probably upset the
community even more.

Earning xp is simply just a

you could earn xp on
community servers, that would
solve both sides of the

As a server operator myself,
in my opinion the best
way to go about this
issue would be for Valve to
patch the commands that
server operators use to
give weapon skins or knives or
whatever they
decide. That way, we know which
plugin can be used without
being worried about
breaking the rules and
running in grey areas.
Alternatively, I suggest a
compromise for this
situation, where servers that
run weapon skins or knifes
plugins are unranked,
such that players do not
receive XP, whilst servers
that don't run these
weapon skins or knifes
plugins and conform to an set
of "ranked" rules
will have XP drops for
players. This, I do believe is
a compromise between
a significant
deterioration of community
servers and Valve's
profits loss.
