Can we do something about the Mods section? Pretty much everything in there is unoriginal content. Some have given credit to the original creators but, what's the point of that? If I was a mod maker and heard I could post my mod here, then found my mod was already here, posted by someone else, credit or no credit I'd be pissed. Maybe, i have no idea why, the mod creator didn't want his mod on multiple forums/communities or, maybe, again no idea why, they just don't like PMC and don't want their mod here. Either way, it should be up to the mod creator. Just seems posting others creation on PMC, credit or not, is counterproductive in our community that is infinitely creative and constructive.
I wouldn't want to see the Mods section go, there are original posts there, and we want to see that grow. Since we have a few new admins, I wonder if the Mods section could be a submission process. The only thing that would change is instead of publishing live, mod submissions would be sent to an admins private forum or pm inbox and must be approved by at least one admin before it goes live.
I realize that creates some extra duty on the part of our admins in that they'll have to investigate but, doesn't seem like there's too many mod submissions to sort through and usually a quick search of Minecraft Forums does the trick or, maybe a PM or email to the mod creator at most. Seems possible to me. Phony Texture Packs are easily recognized and usually voted down pretty quick. Skins seem to be the same way, hard to tell there's so many. I haven't really seen any hijacked Projects or Servers yet. It'd be nice to see if the Mods section could be streamlined in some way because it, like everything else on PMC, is THE BEST way to share your creations with the Minecraft community and we want all those who visit to see that!
