Erwin, this sentence was stuck in my mind for a while, as I was wondering who does Erwin have to lobby? I mean the hacks were moved ovenight from plugins to code midification without any word. And now the vb.org admins need to lobby to get it back or add a 3rd category?

I honetly mean no disrespect by asking this, but who is making these dicisions for vb.org? I can understand vb.com would want certain controls for licensing reasons, but other than that, the hack authors here (that would include staff and us non staff equally) should be the ones deciding on what happens with our work..

The recent closed discussion and the insulting idea that "authors may exploit members" and ending the discussion with "this is how it's going to be for now" does further my concerns that mod authors no longer have any say on how their work would be handled, and decisions would be made on their behalf without consultation with them or without even an explanation until the deed is done.

Categoris and classification issues would pale in comparison to having external sources dictate things, (or by some staff) despite what is best for mod authors and mod users, with no consultation, and this new attitude by staff ("this is how it's going to be", "stop talking about it", "what do you need it for?" etc....).
