Clayton,
I assume this was pointed at me. Sorry you saw it as stuffiness. It was actually intended as protective.
There are a lot of people who have bad computing habits, and being unneccessarily trusting of people who are actually strangers is the -original- bad habit that pre-dates computing.
Asking for extra trust without any real need is not something you should do out of the box either, and when people do it it should raise your eye-brows.
Don't ask the little old lady if she wants you to carry her purse while you help her across the street ! If you ask to carry her purse, she will be frightened. It is not neccessary or appropriate. Just help her cross.
So I communicated this without accusing, hoping to change behavior. I actually understand why a lot of people are suprised or even offended at my attitude, but what I am saying is perfectly sensible.
There is a place for EXE's but distributing JSGME Mods is not it. |
Someone who goes out of their way to supply the community a modification to a game we all enjoy, should not have his / her work labeled as inappropriate. Though I agree with your assessment of executable files and the viruses they may contain, a simple thank you and a request for modification to the standard here at Subsim would have been a better course of action. No worries... |
I DID express appreciation. I did NOT label his work in any way, nor did I malign him personally in any way. I let him know the problem, fairly directly. His response was totally appropriate and mature.
But apparently I rubbed you the wrong way...
