Re: Should banned user mods/maps/etc be deleted from these boards?
Authors do not have the right to 'delete' their work from the public domain, whether or not a library they dislike profits from it.
It is rather foolish to advocate an action that will only cause more antagonism, and make less content available to all players.
My comments do not reflect my opinion on the bannings themselves, nor the persons banned-- they simply note a distaste for petty censorship that is nothing but self-destructive.
P.S.
It may even be advisable for Shrapnel to seek out modifications to the game made elsewhere and compile them here, for easier access to all players. With proper accreditation and linking.
