Question About Skins

[MorganFreeman]

Hey,
I am aware that there are sections in the 'creative corner' section of the forums about how to set up skins, I myself actually made one of those posts about how to set them up-

But does that affirm that skins ARE indeed allowed? I was informed that some skins could get you ... Punished? Per say.

* Edit * By skins i mean: noobfriendly colored T's / CT's skins, not AK skins, etc.

If the servers are running some level of sv_pure, some of the skins will not be able to be seen. Skins that give a unfair advantage to a player can be punished ie extended shadow etc.

Yeah, I wonder about this (I don't use skins) but if some are using skins, and make the cts and ts more brightly coloured , makes them easier to see in dark areas of dark maps? Or changing bomb skins to make it easy to spot... Is that allowed?

Best bet is to just not use skins in general. Wouldn't want to run the risk of being punished for a silly download.

Eh. I just don't bother with all that nonsense. ;P

Customizable skins are fine as long as they do not give the player any sort of unfair advantage. However, it would probably be smart to check with an advisor in your division directly if you have any specific questions on the topic. Just send one of them a PM. You can find a list of advisors here.
