i'd believe that if 888 wasn't regularly accused of staff favoritism by people who seem to hate them for no reason.
plus why would you couch a reasonable concern (ie. is this breaking the rules/should i report it?) with conspiracy theory bullshit like "staff favoritism"??
not the OP so fuck if I know the original intent but considering the attitude people seem to have about "snitches get stitches" when it comes to reporting it wouldn't surprise me if OP fully expected to get told blah blah blah get a life don't report harmless skins etc etc not sure why the favoritism was raised but i guess it was the only "plausible" other option (eg if WASN'T that mods just haven't noticed the wholeass gun and 888 is just tempting fate by adding it in the first place, then the only ""plausible"" thing would be that they intentionally let it through, which would be the favoritism)
really don't know how you reached the conclusion that it has been proven that the skins don't break the rules about guns - we have one explanation (no muzzle = it's fine) and people disagreeing about if it looks like a modern gun or not, but unless staff literally says "yeah nah it didn't break any rules" then we will never know for sure since we don't know if it's been reported and if they've examined it or not
I mean. The Boothill skin was removed for looking too much like the character. If they took it down for copyright, they obviously examined the skin closely and would have seen the gun. The gun was not labeled as an issue in the skin violation. You can infer from this that there is no issue with the gun in the skin.
