Is cache grabbing safe?

[nunyadambiznis]

I've seen some people in threads mentioning that they've been banned using this method of ripping and others saying they've had no issues - is it safe to open and upload avatars you've copied from your cache and exported using assetripper if you only use them privately or by yourself? And is uploading them risky if you use this method? This is the tutorial I followed: https://forum.ripper.store/topic/28592/tutorial-how-to-find-a-vrca/11

I rip from cache very often and have had no issues with it. I will point out that I manually repair avatars instead of hotswapping, which could decrease ban chances. You should be fine if the avatar isn't before 2019 unity
