It reads the file name more than likely and not the actual CRC (skins anyway) of the file. I don't know much about RenGuard as the information on how it works is not public. If you think about it. Stealth_Effect.dds (I think that is the SBH skin file if it's the same as the Stank) can't be renemed as it wouldn't work.

I don't think you should ban skins. I personally don't use that sniper skin but I can't see where it would give you any kind of relevant advantage. I have a replacement pistol model, a reticle skin, and maybe a few other things. I don't wanna get kicked/banned from good servers and then have to go to their forums or whatever and bitch about it in order to get unbanned, then have to remove the skins which I happen to like so it doesn't happen again.
As it stands now cheaters are quickly identified and banned, and it doesn't affect me much. This however could. Sometimes the cure can be worse than the disease, I think you guys should be very careful of that.

The reason banning those mods is even being discussed, is because they are portals to exploit getting around RenGaurd. And renegades' addictiveness isn't in it's skins.
It's in the multifaceted gameplay, where you can go rambo, or team, and still make a huge difference either way.
I understand your trepidation, but what's better?
Renegade ruined with skins
Renegade with clean gameplay, and the same old skins
I pick the latter. How do you ever have time to look at charachters and background anyway? I am always focused solely on victory, and taking out that tank, or building.

I do understand what you are saying, but if Renegade is destroyed by cheating, then you might as well look at all your mods in Multiplayer Practice.
It is better to take something good away from the whole, to save the whole from extinction.
Besides, there has also been a lot of talk about allowing customizations AND instituing rengaurd.
They aren't ogres.

We're NOT trying to ruin the game. We already have a significantly large database of approved skins and files. I believe we are over the 1000 mark now.
I'm the bawss.
