If you are caught USDing you will be jailed, and you will have the skin AND ALL OTHER skins past/future removed from your account permanently (this will only apply to the individual that was caught doing this). The ability to grab the gang skin will also be removed permanently. Gang members who got the skin prior to the USDer being punished will KEEP the gang skin but nobody else from then on will be able to get it again.
The reason for this is to punish the leaders/ perpetrator for their action, not punish the members who did nothing wrong as severely, and remove the ability for that particular skin to be USDed again. (The reason why only jailing the leader wasn't good enough punishment is because that doesn't stop the leader from continuing to sell their skin whilst they are in jail, or to keep doing it when they were eventually unjailed).
As for Obsidian/ Darkside. I will be converting the current skin to the default BAR/ Metalstorm skins, effectively removing it from everyone in the game. I will readd your skins to your gang bases and remove all prevention from grabbing it aside from the requirement that you must be on the gang tag. I will leave this for 1 day from when your skin is re-added. After that day is over the ability to grab the skin will be removed from the game, but if you grabbed the skin before hand you will still get to keep it.
So if you're a Darkside/ Obsidian member then spread the word to your gang members, I will be trying to do all this pretty much now
