    Well for starters they keep making it harder to actually delete any mods you uploaded there.

      This is good. Modding can turn into the deepest dependency hell ever and not having access to a specific version of mod A can make mod B that you really love unusable. See: Skyrim VR and Unofficial Patch.

        Yeah, that is absolutely something I’ve run into. To me though the matter of control of the content has to rest with the creators of said content.

        I feel like that’s really more an argument for a very small number of mods – the ones that everyone depends on – and I don’t think that the modding site can honestly do a lot to fix that. I think that it’s kind of on a game’s modding community to choose to depend on things that won’t go away. Maybe make the license more-prominent, so that really critical mods that other mods depend on can have a license that permits forking or something and are source-available. Like, highlight mods that don’t both permit forking and have source available and are dependencies of other mods in red or something.

      Nah, its easy. Just change the mod to something that removes rainbow flags in the game, they’ll delete it real fast. Probably will delete it even if the game originally never had them to begin with.
