That isn't fair feedback;

1. Nobody is hijacking anyones admincp. You install the plugin it shows a message you click decline and you never see it again until you upgrade/reinstall the mod or click the link at the bottom of the plugin settings screen. There is no copyright link, no spam.

He's not alerting anyone of anything, or helping anyone make an informed decision. He's lying, doing it deliberately, and trying to inflict damage on the image of the mod. Everything he's making up now is in reaction to being caught breaking the rules.

2. This person goes from flaming and calling this mod (and our other ones) an expletive (before your edit) to "That's fair enough, if it was just a copyright", "the actual mod is very nice". It's a complete 180 -- keep this in mind.

As an author, you at least can relate to what a load of crap that copyright comment is. If there was one, he'd be raging more. I stopped putting copyrights in because that's what everyone asked for, but nothing is enough for people like him.

You are totally right in saying he doesn't have to use the mod. Honestly, he shouldn't even be allowed to continue posting in this thread. Imagine someone coming into one of your various mod topics and doing exactly the same thing.

3. What's ironic here is that I long ago implemented the two resizing options in the AdminCP to fix the avatar problem he was talking about, and I did it faster because of his (entitlement-minded) request. It's like being spit on.

After the fix, I never heard anything from him until yesterday when he wrote the nasty post you just took down after I released an update adding a bug fix and a new feature, both of those unrelated to the post-install message.

Neither of us wants someone like that using our mods, but that's the smaller issue. The real issue is that people like him can come into a mod topic, suck it dry and the attitude is that "it's ok".
