Valve didn't specifically okay the "take knife" plugin. First off, it says "that allows a player to *drop *their knife (that they own) so another player can* pick it up*?" What they ok'd would be at the volition of the knife owner. You would drop the knife so one other player could pick it up. You wouldn't make a plugin that allows you to choose the knife of anyone on the server and get it, in some cases forcing it upon all players by default. I've played on surf servers where it replaced my knife with someone else's by default. The original post said "Interfering with systems that allow players to correctly access their own CS:GO inventories, items, or profile." Those servers ran plugins which gave my knife to other people against my will and gave me someone else's knife by default.
Secondly, "*and in a trading server being able give a player your knife to inspect is fine too. In general, letting players use what they own in a new way isn’t a problem."* I'd like to point out he said trading server as an example. He then followed it up with "l*etting players use what they own in a new way isn’t a problem*" When your server let other players take my knife without my permission, when your server gave me someone else's knife by default, when multiple people can use your knife, that's breaking the rules. What Vitaliy OK'd was a plugin where you could drop a knife so one other player could see it. What he didn't OK was a plugin where everyone on a server could take the knife of a single player if they wanted to.
