Friends, modders, countrymen, lend me your ears!
As you may have noticed, the mod board went down under for a while. This was for a very good reason: one of the mods got flagged in a virus scan. Immediately, the moderator team went through and checked every mod. Only the WC2 mods and the (still non-functional) Picard Mod came up 100% safe. So, at least for now, we took out the potentially dirty mods. This gives rise to some guidelines:
1. There is a tool called virustotal.com, owned by Google. Use it to scan anything you want to upload. Regardless of whether your upload is flagged, DO NOT UPLOAD IT and message any mod with a screenshot of VirusTotal's scan and link so we can look into it.
2. I suggest you use VirusTotal for anything you download, too
3. If we spot an upload that was not approved by us, we will remove it and you may suffer the consequences
4. The mods we took out may be returned if closer examination reveals them to be safe.
5. It may be wise to uninstall: "Imperial Hegemony: Glory Edition"; "The Fierce Battle" aka "EW4 WW2 Mod"; and "Leader in Power: Glory of Soldiers" aka "the WC3 mod"
6. Baidu's (chinese forum) download service (pan) itself got flagged by 2 engines as a malicious site. Proceed with caution when on Baidu
7. Keep an eye out for more messages for your mods
8. For now, this is for safe stuff, the other is off-limits and may be dangerous if you do hack in (which is also immoral and illegal). When we (mod team) are done, we will come up with a new system
Thank you,
Your Mods Mod and the rest of the Mod Team
