Putting skins into the interface folder is bannable

If this is bannable why do we let ppl upload the work here.. I heard that downloading addons like

http://www.wowinterface.com/download...48-AI-Art.html

you can be perma banned for putting those into the interface folder.

So now it stands.. Is there a way some1 can clean this pack up and have it properly put into the addons folder? This way its pure legit and not putting people on the line everyday to being banned...

Changing in-game models is bannable, not UI art.

It's not against the rules. As others have said, modifying the game files is. Anything that happens within the Interface folder is perfectly allowed.

If blizzard didnt like it they would have removed it a long time ago,

If Blizzard didn't like it, they'd remove the ability for the overrides to work. They did it, in fact, with cursor modifications in earyl Wrath - around patch 3.0.8 or 3.0.6, cursor replacements just stopped working.

Artwork replacements for UI panels should be considered allowed until Blizzard makes them not work anymore. :>

replacing "...\World of Warcraft\Data\Sound" with empty sound files seams to be allowed to!

I've done that millions of times.
