After following the whole development with TF2 and CSGO for five years,
I have made the following observations:
Valve doesn't care about server ops. Most of them are pretty much
abusive towards Valve and the player anyway (as your posting suggests),
and recent games like DOTA and additions like matchmaking, moreover
events that run on official servers only, start a movement that going
against the use of third party dedicated servers in general.
The only victims here are the player-base, a handful of modders who
actually give a damn, and, for now, workshop contributors who by the
plugins in question may or may not get less money for their contributions.
As long as there is no open communication and specific actions
taken/changes done (and actually kept) by Valve, my stance on this
doesn't change.
My personal (not legal) suggestion is:
You /could/ do whatever you want, but don't get caught.
Have fun!
Oh and also, even though it's late: I wish you a merry Christmas!

Also hopping on the bandwagon for this, how is Valve enforcing their
own rules? So many servers still out there with knife plugin and
weapon skins not getting penalized, and us responsible server owners
here with nothing.
I suggest something be done about these servers before more server
owners abuse this even more.

I would also add local varieties for "knife", like polish word
"kosy" and "noze":

I wonder how those servers are still not banned?

> Not to mention they have something like 150 servers all with
these plugins. The owner also owns a company called SourceRev
which serves MOTD advertisements. They are well known for shorting
& stealing impressions, lying to their customers, not making
payments, and threatening their clients' communities with
withholding their money and DDoS attacking their servers after
being called out on their shady practices. I used to have a bunch
of retakes servers and one day the owner of PB Fortress added me
out of the blue. I was a client of his at the time. He told me
that he would no longer serve me advertisements because I ran the
same server types as him and he suggested that I get rid of all
servers in competition with his if I wanted to continue using
their service. I did not remove my servers and 2 days later I
started getting daily DDoS attacks. These continued on a daily
basis every time my servers had any population for about 3 weeks.
