Borderlands 2 is temporarily free to grab on Steam, as it continues to be review bombed for non-Randy Pitchford tweet reasons (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

Does it blanket forbid those even if individual examples of those things don't violate the parameters in the beginning or does it forbid them only if a particular instance under those categories violates the first part?

Can you give an example? Purely for academic intrigue... Not advisement purposes.

Any mod or glitch you use in a singleplayer game. Reshade could be considered a 'mod menu'

That's a grey area, that you may win if this hypothetical were litigated. Their parameters are broad and vague, so I could easily see a claim that it is unfairly giving you a better game play than others. Nothing about their parameters mentions multiplayer, so one would assume it apply's to all play styles.

In the extremely unlikely scenario this came to some kind of litigation the determining factor would probably be the question of whether there is anyway for players to compare single player gameplay at all in a reasonable way? If they have a leader board for single player or anything like that, including even social media tracking single player stats then I think it's possible it is determined to be giving an unfair advantage.
