And that would be very, very sad.
I agree that would be very sad, after all we rely on modders to fix the stuff giants can't fix. No all jokes aside, modders work very hard on their maps and all the other stuff. Sad that someone who doesn't have the expertise to make one themself claim them so easily.

Some modders are very, very angry about this habit to steal mods and everyone who shares those mods could get into trouble because of this.
Even if you apologize, and in the end everything is fine again, it could give you some hard hours.
I myself wouldn't post a link to a mod other than the official Modhub, because it is hard to tell, if the mod is ok or stolen.
Maybe I would make an exception, if the mod is available on Github and I know the modder that is working on the mod.
Well thats quite understandable, who wouldn't be. I think I scrap my whole ide about posting links to mods. I think we can all agree taking credit for someone else work is unacceptable. Thanks for all the answers, its been quite educational.

Happy farming
CU around.

The answers of the other users apply, but I want to add, that you could get a real shitstorm if you unknowingly post a link to a stolen mod.

Good ol scaremongering at it's finest. No need to be so dramatic and no one is ''getting in trouble'' :lol: :lol:
