Why was my mod flagged as "incompatible" on the steam workshop?

I received an email as well:

because surely there is something wrong written in the codes ,,, or there are two conflicting routes, check everything well

 

[D4rkstalker]

I've been playing it without any issues

Maybe branching the IP of other mod authors.
Do you own the right to publish all those 150+ mods in your mod?

 

[D4rkstalker]

No, i don't, but i don't think that's the issue since there are several other modpacks on the steam workshop as well.

It is the issue. A few modders have spent some time yesterday reporting several of these mega modpacks.

Steam could have been a bit informative about the reason for the removal...

It might be as simple thing as one of the mods circumventing the need to own a DLC. Or, as others pointed out, lack of permissions.

Most "copyright" systems act only when requests are made, so just because others do it too doesn't mean you won't get in trouble for it.
Your modpack contains a ton of large mods by active mod authors, so I wouldn't be surprised at all if some of them have complained.

Which, let's be honest, is perfectly reasonable. You're taking their work without permission, aren't giving proper credit, and there's no way to easily tell in such a highly modded game which mod does what, so even the argument for indirect exposure can't be made here. I have no doubt that you have good intentions, but this clearly isn't the way to do it.

If you want to create a collection of mods, do so by using the proper steam feature:
https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse/?appid=281990&browsesort=trend&section=collections

That's less convenient for the user, but it respects the work that authors have put into their mods.
