I guess it's been too long since the last one, so here's another reminder because this hasn't changed:

Using a VRChat client that has been modified, in ANY way, is against the Terms of Service and can result in a ban.

Those banned recently should be glad it's only 30 days.

"The mods are harmless!"

Still against TOS

"Rippers and crashers run rampant!"

Mods of all kinds are still against TOS. Also they don't complain when they get banned, they just make a new account

"Other platforms have <mod feature>!"

So leave VRChat and go there. You won't.

I'm not excited about people getting banned, I agree that maybe VRChat's stance should change, and I wish all rippers and crashers a very fuck you.

Until our universe merges with the magical Christmasland one we have to work with what we have within the constraints we're given.

VRChat gives incredible power to its users to create. Power that is often wielded haphazardly and can easily be abused, but that's ultimately the price paid for access to the level of customization offered.

Nearly full control over your avatar is VRChat's defining feature.

Fact is, we aren't very likely to get another platform like VRChat. The thing companies want to invest in is stuff like Facebook's metaverse with pre-set customization options and paid cosmetics. Something with expected ROI.

It's a miracle that VRChat has even existed this long.

I'm not saying you have to worship our lord and savior VRChat, but maybe try not being blindly vitriolic to them either.

I'm just so tired of seeing "Hurr VRChat lets crashers run rampant" like VRChat is going to see it and go "Whoops, you're right, unbanning you now, sorry!"
