I'd like to be told what rules my mod broke, and why it was deleted. Everything was in order, it had a picture and download, and even if it was a bit controversial it does the same thing any other rebuilt mod would. If you have a mod rebuilt with tags, anybody joining w/o it runs the risk of having an exception, the same goes here, except it was controlled.
So, once again, I'd like to be told what rules it broke and the reasoning for it being deleted, please.

Your mod was designed specifically and solely to cause the players' games to crash. It was done with malicious intent. You are abusing modding to cause something bad to happen to other people. It's no better than cheating. If you want to make someone leave, kick and ban them, it is as simple as that. It doesn't matter if you're doing it to cheaters, you're still doing it.
Furthermore:

You gave authorization to remove it.

I'll still use it. To me, cheaters deserve to be cheated upon.

Yes I gave you permission, assuming there was a good reason behind it, not that it just isn't up to par with your personal morals. I would've been fine with you deleting it b/c it broke a rule, but to delete it just because you dont agree with it is a bit of BS tbh.

Like Tural said, it is basically cheating, which is against Halomods standards. It wasn't really his personal opinion.

That's actually opposite. I would personally love to be an ass to cheaters, I'd use it all the time. I removed it because of this site's policies, not my personal opinion.

Im just going to enter in here and ask you: If you did this for the sites rules, why did you make that 200x400 sig or w.e a couple months back. It also said in text, "Its over the limit, what are you going to do about it?"
Thats just a wonder because from what i see this is all hypocritical.

...What..?
My signature was as follows:
Since H3 "Starry Night" ad came out:
H3 Starry Night sig.
Month of December:
Winzy signature.
Since December:
Futurama.
Never did I use such an image, nor would I, as that is idiotic. I'm fairly confident I never did that which you described, and if that did occur, you can thank the staff members who like to fuck with my profile all the time.
Now, I'm pretty sure you were talking to me. I'm the only one who referenced "Doing it for the rules," if you were addressing him, your statement was poorly worded and I apologize for destroying it as such. (Although his notes do not mention a single sig offense, so that again leads me to believe you are talking to me.) As it stands now, that is a blatant lie, or a misuse of another staff member's power. In either situation, you post has absolutely no relevance at all, and I don't appreciate your slanderous remarks.

What's Not. Not trying to be an **** or anything, just wondering what you were refering to

I would see this more as a problem if it could be used in any game, but it can only be used when hosting so...

If you're hosting, you can ban them. There is no need for this, and it is blatantly malicious in intention. It crashes their damn game, its
sole purpose is to crash a game.

I believe he's referring to Kirk's post.

...I know...
Kirk said "It's not." He asked what Kirk's post meant. I was telling him what it meant. Kirk's post, extended, would say "It's not his personal opinion."
As it stands right now, this is done. No matter how you look at it, whether you use it against cheaters or not, you are still making a mod that crashes people's games, and that being its sole intention. It doesn't matter what disclaimer you put; "I don't condone this" or whatever. It is malicious. It crashes the game, purposefully, of another player. You are not having it on this site. Props to you for making it and whatever, but we will not permit you to have such a thing here. The decision is final.
