I like the filter idea. It's simple to implement and will really keep things more balance for people who wish to use the 'poor man's cheats'. It will also probably be helpful for people who make very poor quality (and overly bright) skins and need them to be darkened a little.
As for those people complaining that being able to change your gamma is also unfair:
The ability to change your gamma is something that comes packaged with the game by default. You don't need to modify any files or download anything to get that ability. Brightskins, on the other hand, are not so readily available to everyone. As well, some people are playing on monitors that are just darker by default, punishing them for having a poor computer by taking away the ability to change gamma is hardly fair.
