This is not the first time some thing like this happens, but this one is very blatant and underhaned.
The mod author of "Altoholic teelo's fork", added unicode encoded, code in a string, as a measure to obfuscate his intentions, which were to actually litteraly completely UNLOAD/delete another mod from the game client, mod in question is "Total RP 3".
I/We, don't care about the backstory, or WOW, or reason why teelo did this, and such events have happened in the past in many games.
I understand that we all here don't care about WOW, but I wonder if we need an additional clause, -if there's nothing there-, that addon authors should respect boundaries between mods, and not conduct warfare/malicious action towards other authors, no matter the reason, justified or not, because this leads to the suffering of users and lost revenue for the product owner (i.e. paradox blizzard, etc.)
Of course, the product owner doesn't have the time and resources to do arbitrage on this, but I wonder if there exists a silver bullet of a clause to protect everyone from this.
