That's obviously excluding the time constraints, which, quite frankly, shouldn't be a staff duty anyway. I'd rather they were moderating the site, not spending hours writing instructions for someone else's modification.

You should take this up with the coders who don't leave uninstallation instructions, not the staff. It's the coder's modification, the coder's decision to delete their mods (barring security issues, obviously) and the coder's failure to leave uninstall instructions.

Aside from providing this (free) resource, Jelsoft and the staff aren't responsible for other people's work and to be frank, that's the way it should be.


If you really want uninstall instructions or backed up modifications, you have both your server and your hard drive. There's no real reason why both should fail and there's also no excuse not to use every opportunity to backup everything, especially as you seem to have such a big problem with this. I have modifications spread across 2 hard drives and my server. There's no reason why you, or anyone else, can't do the same.
anyways, im over the topic. not taking any suggestions from anyone regarding it, go ahead and close the topic or move it to the graveyard. dead issue already
