Yes, it's harmless. Demos with "status" are definite proof? No. They were never definite proof, but most of us probably thought that they were definite proof for a long time. So, we did not know the truth. Now, it's been revealed exactly how unreliable such "definite proof" actually is. Knowledge is a good thing. Now we can understand the true reliability of your "definite proof".

Also, I don't think you understand the technical details. If you run a server and you want to accept demos from your players as "definite proof", then you don't have to worry about steamid replacer plugins, because you are not runnning the plugin on your server. You still have to worry about other easy methods to change the steamids in the demos, but not about plugins like Joaquim's plugin.

Now, since it has already been posted, trashing it won't help, because sooner or later someone who wants to use it for bad purpose will get it and the harmed ones will be single users...

Again, Joaquim was NOT the first to expose the reality about steamids. Censoring his plugin does literally nothing to protect your "definite proof". The sooner you accept that a status with steamid is not reliable, the better.
