New rules on community CSGO servers now make it that plugins that offer players the ability to use skins and or weapons/ranks they don't actually have will be banned. What this means is that CSGO plugins websites such as https://forums.alliedmods.net will no longer approve plugins that do this and have already started removing well known popular plugins that are used in most Surf/Bhop servers. Any server operators who ignore these rules who already have the plugins will be disabled. This means your server will not show up in the browser anymore for anyone.
You can see one of the plugins here.
This is the official email archive

Vitaliy Genkin has made a big mistake with this.

tl;dr basically valve is banning servers that allow players to use skins they don't own

Is reddit the only source that says this? I hope this doesn't go official.

reddit is just re posting what was already put out.

And to back this up on not being a troll type of reddit post, if you own a server that's running sourcemod you should be subscribed to the csgo_servers mailing list. The contents in the email above would be sent to whoever is subscribed to it. Plenty of server owners have received this email.

Yo that's fucked up. Is there any reasoning behind this? I don't see any harm using the skin plugin on a community server. Gaben wants more money?

Basically the money. They don't feel its appropriate for servers to allow players to use weapons that they don't own. If you don't follow, your server won't be displayed on the main server browser (Blacklisted) or the server could be disabled (not sure about this one though). I stumbled upon it while reading the pro reddit drama lol.
