        Inverness is a idiot. He obviously doesn't realize that Noob is working really hard for the sake of others. No where in that quote is he bribing or demanding endorsements. He's just saying he'll update it if enough people are using and enjoy it. It's not like he gets money for your endorsement.

The matter of people requesting others to rate and vote for their files as file of the month has been discussed several times within the staff forums over the years. With the introduction of the files of the month section authors have begun to notice that they can get more people to vote for their files if they ask people to do it, and provide a link to the process, at the top of their file description. Now, this was fine because we made no mention of whether it was allowed or not.

However I've decided to add in a few new checks on file ratings and votes to prevent authors from doing this from now on. Why you ask? Well, because only the people that are asking for votes are getting in to the top 5 of the files of the month section. This isn't a god awful terrible thing, but I'd rather every author had the oppurtunity to get their files in to the top sections without having to solicit votes and ratings from users.

This will be offset in the near future by a new feature that will allow users to better see what files they have and haven't rated and whether they have voted for a file of the month (with some gentle encouragement if they haven't). This functionality will go hand-in-hand with a complete overhaul of the rating system in general, due to be worked on after I've finished my 4th and final year of exams at university. I haven't got £15k in to debt with student loans to throw it all away now! "

( Q  b6 F: J; rUnfortunately though, this is how the description can be interpreted. While the author doesn't get paid money, some do things like this just to either inflate their endorsements or to try and collect more fame for their project. The way this is presented is easy to misunderstand. If the author doesn't want people to get the wrong impression, they may wish to re-word their description or practices. However, as the author has so far had an update for every 10 endorsements thus far, their end of the deal is met. If someone decides to withhold their endorsement because they disagree with the practices, that is their business, and I can't do anything to force them to make such an endorsement. I personally disagree with holding updates ransom, or basing interest of a mod solely on endorsements, but it's not my call. You reap what you sow.

Inverness是個蠢材. 他顯然不明白 Noob (原作者) 為了其他人的益處花了多大的努力. 作者說的話沒有"收買"或向你"要求"的意思. 他只使說他會更新, 如果有夠多的人使用和享受這個mod 的話. 他不大可能會因為endoresement而獲得金錢上利益吧.

在作者沒錢賺的前提下, 這麼做只不過是想提升人氣或賺取endoresement. 不幸地作者的意思的確惹人誤會 (指原作者的話).

  ]% X5 ~% @7 F/ g9 r作者或許要把說話的用詞改變一下.

個人覺得以endoremsent換取update的做法, 或只看endoresements而做mod的心態不太妥當.  但怎也好, 這不是我可以拿主意的. 種瓜得瓜, 種豆得豆就是了.

看來, 主要原因倒不是金錢問題..而是作者的mod能否"榜上有名", 和作者之間是否能公平競爭的問題囉...
