Make users click Install before download
I know this one will most likely not happen but I think users should have to click installed before being able to download a modification.
Then if they don't use it they can click un-installed. I look at the install count as the thanks mod and when you see a mod with 100+ downloads and 20 installs, It doesn't seem like the general public appreciate what time the coder puts into a modification. That is all, BBR-APBT |

You're right - it wont happen.
You should also remember that people often download mods more than once, so the d/l count is always going to be higher. |

No.
I'll download and install something but not click install. I try it out for a little while and if it suits my needs come back and click install. |

And just because I download it doesn't mean it gets installed, either...sometimes it just doesn't do what *I* want it to do.

But you have the ability to uninstall if you do not use it or if it does not fit your needs.
I vote yes since there is a high percentage of people who will download and install but will not mark it installed on VB.org. |

The install count is a useless metric that means nothing. It doesn't ensure the quality of a mod, how it works, if it's secure or any useful information other than to boost the ego's of coders so they can feel a sense of pride and self worth for releasing something.

The numbers may not in themselves be accurate, but over time, they are a pretty good measure of how popular a modification is - which as DJ says, helps in decisions like whether to continue supporting, adding new features (or indeed, porting).
