Hello,

I've worked with the Moderation team and other teams in VRChat to write up a message to send you directly.

The moderation that was on your account has been removed. If the moderation on your account has already been removed as the result of a successful appeal, that's fine, the following message also applies to you.

If you have removed content from another platform (such as GitHub) as the result of the recent moderation or appeals on your account, you may publish that content once again. At this time, we have no intent of policing third-party services for "modified client" related content.

As an aside, we are working towards opening discussions with selected members of the VRChat modification community. This will also be announced to users via a published Discord announcement. We believe that a measured dialogue will help improve VRChat for all.

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.

If you have any questions, please feel free to respond to this email.
