Any chance
@Castellon or
@Captain Gars could comment on the issues and problems raised in this thread?
Not sure what you want me to comment on, Every one of these questions has been answered time and time again.
No, we have no plans to open the forums wide open.
I never said and no one has ever said that github or any other service could not be used for internal organization or version control. What you cannot do is have it available to the public, this means taking reasonable steps to ensure it is not widely available, such as posting links in the forums, or using the name of the mod or the game in the title, I would suggest something like we use (A project name). If some person goes browsing and happens to find your project, well that is life, You can not be held responsible for that unless you contributed in someway.
Any mod is free to have a webpage or social media, as long as on those pages you do not allow DL links. Or have public forums. The only place you should be able to get your mod is through the automated Steam workshop DL, and through a link on modding sub forums here.
No the grandfathering will not change, Someone already repeated my pets in apartments analogue and although they discount it, it still works for me.
Also: this is thread is about modding rules, please contact Meneth about issues related to the Wiki.
