[Carnage]

Merhaps make it unique downloads.

This has been a personal desire of mine for years, but its always been blocked by the argument that if you know who has installed a mod, and then the mod has an exploit, you basically have a list of exploitable forums.

I already know some of the people who've installed my mods as when they post in the thread it says installed. A lot of these people have links to their forums in their sigs. That makes it really easy for me as a developer to go exploit their forums. . . A list which is /only/ viewable by the (co)developer(s) (and maybe by mods/admins) doesn't really provide any better opportunities that there are currently.

A developer who purposefully releases mods with security exploits isn't going to last very long on here. (At least i'd hope not) As a last defence, allow for users to make their mod installs anonymous, so that the list would show say 20 named users and then 4 anonymous ones at the bottom.
