How sensitive are these guidelines going to be? I understand turning the fat italian skin into a midget or something of that sort is obviously bannable, but what if it's just a tad under proportioned by accident?

Nobody's gonna try and hit your ponytail and expect to hit you.

Question, how do we know if the hitbox is altered? Just wondering, I'm not really much of a programmer, is there a chance that, let's say a skin mod I'm using has a thinner hitbox modified by another player (or something like)?

And in a way, any children mods that people use (making them half-height) are no longer allowed, either?

A skin mod can't have a thinner hitbox without changing its height or mass, so you don't need to worry about that.

The new rule is really not gonna change much, unless you plan on, like I said before, drastically changing the height or body mass of the skin you're replacing. It's common sense.

Right, thanks. Didn't know how hitboxes worked here. And as for the children/teenager skins (I've got heaps of mods stored somewhere on my laptop, that one among them), I'm correct with assuming they're also prohibited now?

People quit overreacting. A lot of posts in the thread already explain what's what.

"-skin having his head misplaced or in any other way, shape or form being geometrically altered..."
If the skeleton isn't aligned perfectly the legs are like chicken legs when you walk and the head bobs forward slightly, all depending on what way it's aligned.

Daang.

That could be annoying for some people with those HD skins which are stupidly tall.
