I'll endorse you because I want to, not because you demand it or bribe me for it.

Just because of that I'm not going to endorse your mod.

If you want to update it, update it.  If not then don't.

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.
, _) E( y, l9 u# b
; @! ?7 P8 ?! W. L. VThis 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! "

Unfortunately 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.

但是這個行為不再被允許了. 為甚麼呢? 因為這些作者都能進入 "本月推介" 的頭 5 位, 這不是甚麼壞事, 只是我希望每個作者都有平等的機會能上榜, 而不是使用這個手段才能成功.

原作者的立場也是可以理解的, 如果沒有人在用, 也沒甚麼動力製作下去了吧...
# H6 M+ b- L, y3 D7 J只是有人不認同應他以 "endoresement換取更新" 的做法, 因為這非該論壇 endoremsent的本意.

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...

感謝大大翻譯！

1 J  o$ M- l+ F/ ?8 A% q* g9 ]我是覺得既然是無償提供，給一點endoresement也是應該的啦,
不過和網站的方針有衝突那就沒辦法了。
期待開發者能繼續發表新版……現在的版本很好用，
特別是他的武器和防具箱子，一點下去就可以開，
不必像Traveler那樣還要講好幾句話，點好幾個選項才能開箱子……
