That would depend on the nature of the functionality in question. If we ever were to add functionality that has the potential to negatively impact the stock functionality until such a time as the administrator has configured the mod, yes we would absolutely add a "backwards" setting like that again.
In a similar vein to the Thanks mod, we would have also gone with a "backwards" setting if we were writing the modification for the first time today, but with the knowledge of what the current permissions scheme has caused in terms of the support load.
In short, we can offer absolutely no guarantee that any of our existing, nor future mods will not contain such a permissions scheme.
As for the refund policy, this is clearly laid out in the Terms of Service which you gave us express notice you had read in full & agreed to, before you submitted your payment to us. The nature of digital software means that offering refunds for products that have been downloaded (and especially installed) would open us up to getting scammed. I'm not saying you are a scammer, I'm saying that this is unfortunately one of those cases of malicious individuals ruining it for the rest of you.
The fact that, on a case-by-case basis, we offer store credit is a middle ground where even if we are getting scammed, we lose less money than if we were scammed by a full refund.
Full refunds are only available if our system shows no record of the product being accessed/downloaded prior to requesting the refund.
All of that being said, this isn't the correct forum to discuss DragonByte Technologies' policies.
