I don't care alot about those settings. Authors just choose it themself and it's not always correct.

Some mods are great and are supported, but authors don't want to check it, just because they don't guarantee it, just best effort support
Other authors check it, but disappear.

So I find separate forums a very drastic solution, even more a bad than a good one.

Just give the mod authors more features, for example a bug tracker and an indication about it in the mod thread (# open bug reports).

As previously mentioned, some form of bug tracker is on the 2007 to-do list.

No one is ignoring your ideas - the coders need to be represented as well.

The ability to search based on the certain modification ticks will help users search for the specific criteria they are looking for.

An inline bug tracker will allow to centralize support queries which will ultimately make it easier for coders to continue with support. Right now, it is also very hard for the coders to search through 45+ pages of support/thank you posts....

The staff understands this and we plan to implement some sort of bug tracker to eliminate this problem.

I agree about the licensing idea. Mods should have a choice of licenses (including a custom one) and have the default as open source, since most mod authors wouldn't mind others continuing their mods.

I will admit, I'm guilty of neglecting support for my modifications, but I've simply been too busy just lately to support them. Not to mention it's very hard to keep track of bugs without a bug tracker.
