Why is Valve banning this skin?
I checked this skin again and Valve says it won't allow this skin to be added because it doesn't follow the guidelines, but I can't find a single rule this skin is breaking. Can someone please explain?

i wanna know too :p
The skin got banned as DarkSilver (now BlackLight) had a lot of copyright issues with his skins; due to a lot of pressure of adding this skin into game, Valve decided to ban it so no one shouts how much they want this skin in game.

Thank you, I get it now
That's sad, best awp skin in the game and the entire workshop got banned(
Although it seems strange since Water and Fire Elementals were added, so why not add this one or delete other elementals?

I believe that those were added before he had problems, and they can't take the weapons out because people spent money on them, and they themselves didn't have copyrighted material. This one didn't, but Valve didn;t want to pay for anymore of his content.

But wouldn't that make a Glock, P2K and AWP contrabanded just like the Howl? I'd spend a kidney to get this AWP.

No, see a lot of people who are new to cs skins and the market (in no way am I implying that you're new, you may have simply not known this or taken it in to account) don't know a few things:

1. Valve doesn't want to have things be contraband. This is just bad because it means they made a mistake.

2. Valve doesn't release things as contraband. Howl was covert but the art was changed and so was the rarity

3. Water and fire elemental, as well as this skin right here do not have copyright issues themselves, however many of the creators other skins do. This cause valve to put a ban on all of his skins.

4. Even if they did, there are so many fire and water elementals at this point that if they were contraband, people who stocked up on them would make a fortune
