Recommended change in the modding etiquette policy

[HW3]

I just wanted to make you aware, if you didn't know. Seawolves and the company X1 were a real hot topic on here for quite a while. Yes they took mods, claimed them as their own work, and did not give credit to the original mod maker. They then sold the "stolen" mods in a for profit expansion pack called Seawolves. That is why permission and credit are such a touchy topic around here, and some are reluctant to release work without getting permission. I agree with Aces approach on this, PM them, post a notice on the boards. If you still do not get a response, release the mod anyway with credit given to the modder in the readme, and offering to remove the mod if the original modder does see it and object. That should cover all the bases.
