Gametracker currently doesn't punish/discourage the use of plugins which break Valve's guidelines/warning about using things such as !ws (weapon skins) & !knife.

These plugins give players items they otherwise would not have while the player is on the server, which if you read through below is clearly not allowed.

I understand that it's not Gametrackers job as a Ranking/Stat Website to enforce Valve's rules but at a certain point the servers breaking the Guidelines are like people roiding in the gym-
it's just not fair to the rest of the crowd & skews stats.

These servers make no attempt at hiding the fact that they're breaking the guidelines- they literally advertise these plugins within their server titles.

I don't know if Gametracker has ever taken a stance on this, but considering CS:GO is one of (if not the largest) game in the world I was curious about this.

Thanks.

No. It does not have anything to do with us. We do not have any interest in creating policies to enforce arbitrary gameplay guidelines.

Reasonable enough, thanks.

But why doesnt valve patch it so it's not possible???

and besides, it's not like I can go to a server give myself a stattrak karambit sapphire and then it will appear in my inventory, marketable and tradeable.

I think it's a good thing so you can try an expensive skin out before buying it or getting scammed by valve cases.

but whatever, I don't visit such server anyway but I have no problem with that they exist

Last I checked, Valve said they were prohibited and started to ban servers with them (through sv_tags if I recall effectively). Wasn't particularly effective due to the false positives. Just face it, Valve doesn't care about community servers. They serve a tiny proportion of the CS:GO playerbase. It isn't their priority, StatTraks are.
