As may already have come to your attention, the mod team has asked the wiki staff to deliver a clear message from Mevans to all of you: from this point forward, there is to be no submodding of the main mod code.

Why? For several reasons. One, it's generally disrespectful to the work of the mod author. Think about it - modding the mod is basically saying that Mevans' work is not good enough. Furthermore, people have been using submods to add things that are planned, giving people a false impression of what they will be like and, worst of all, making them think it or the lore with it is part of the actual mod.

What does this mean? It means that all submodders should stop creating their content immediately. How this will affect servers based around mods in unknown - but be prepared to shut them down.

And what will we, the wiki staff, do about it? The answer is simple: we will not tolerate anything. If you continue production on a submod and continue to post download links, we will remove all content related to it from the wiki and ban the distributors for a very long time. The same goes if we find you doing this on another wiki or making your own wiki based on this, or posting on other mediums. Obviously we can do nothing about personal submods, but please have some respect.

Remember, this is Mevans' decision - I am but a messenger. That means please do not waste your time trying to argue with me or any of the other wiki staff on this issue. We have no control over it, but we will not hesitate to ban over it.

That is all. Have a good night and a merry Christmas. (Or whatever you celebrate)
