Hello all!

As you may be aware, VRChat Moderation recently took action against a large number of creators of various client modifications, asking these users to remove their code repositories before a ban appeal was accepted.

This was a misstep. We have reversed the moderations, and those who have taken down content in response to a moderation request have been told that they may put their content back up. In addition, we intend to start a dialogue with some of the authors of these modifications. 

VRChat is not permitting or condoning the use of "modified clients", nor are we stating that the use of such modifications are OK. Using them is still (and always has been) a violation of the Terms of Service. However, we understand why people might use these non-malicious modifications-- quality of life improvements, bug fixes, that kind of thing. We recognize their usefulness.

That's why we're working towards opening discussions with selected members of the VRChat modification community. We believe that a measured dialogue will help improve VRChat for all. We don't plan on disclosing the nature of these discussions at this time, but did want to let you know that's the current plan.

We would like to reiterate that this is not a statement that VRChat is permitting modification of the client. Doing so is still a violation of the Terms of Service and may result in moderation on the VRChat platform. Some modifications to the VRChat client may present a major risk to user accounts and service integrity, among other issues.
To put it a bit more naturally: we're looking the other way right now because we want to talk to the people running these communities and writing these modifications. This isn't an OK for you to create, use, or distribute the modifications. We also realize that this is a contradictory statement... but we're trying our best to find a way to work through this and make everyone happy while still following the rules.
