Admin Notice: Rule changes regarding cheating + Clarification on CDing cloaked ships

[Biggles]

As such, the current rule looks like this:

3.8 Cheating - This includes editing game INI files, or using third party software to gain advantages over vanilla Discovery Freelancer installations as well as running the game above 155 FPS. Admin-approved visual mods are allowed.

The following changes are as follows:

3.8 Rule is hereby removed.
Section 5 is now added to the rules and reads thus:

5. Cheating and Exploits - Modifying your Discovery Freelancer installation or using third-party tools in order to gain advantage over other players is strictly forbidden and will result in deletion of ingame assets or a ban. [...]

My apologies for posting in a two month old thread, but I have what I think is rather an important question that doesn't seem to have been addressed in the previous discussion. It regards the removal of the line "Admin-approved visual mods are allowed." As I see it, there are three possible interpretations of this change:

1. That no "visual mods" are "admin-approved" anymore, i.e. they are now entirely prohibited;
   
2. The most extreme interpretation: that "modifying your Discovery Freelancer installation *full stop* ... is strictly forbidden", i.e. no modifications whatsoever (even to things such as sounds) to our installs are permitted;
   
3. That the use of purely cosmetic mods is no longer regulated, and we are free to use these as we wish, providing they do not "gain advantage over other players".
   

Which is the case?
