Is there a difference between these? Will one get you locked and not the other or is what Ive read and heard about this a bunch of nonsense?

With kegetys mod = potential ban

Regular skins = no ban

Why is this. If you are just changing the aircrafts skin surely this is not changing the code (which is what Steam normally bans people for). Why is it that you can change the skins that were included in the game but when it comes to changing skins that are not given with that Steam gets all upset. It is not enhancing a players advantage and it offers no advantage what so ever - just looks nice

I think that steam have gone overboard here

Here is a clue:

Multiplayer...EA has 'bright pink skins'

in a more loose basic term. Swastika = Ban.

Does this mean that whenever you play the game you should disconnect to the internet or just dont go onto multiplayer?

If everyone is on steam shoulddnt you have to disconnect (from your internet connection) to play mods without getting caught

only if you goto multiplayer. and entertain your modded files in an arena where those files may be checked by steam. i.e an online match.
