I think it should be up to the people that host to decide to enable it or not, and the people that join to leave if they don't want to be on a server with it.

We've been over this many times. People should be able to download anything they want from RTB without the chance that someone can use what they've downloaded to screw up their server. If I knowingly allow something like that to be hosted on my service it's just irresponsible of me. You forget that the vast majority of the community are not as old or experienced in server hosting/add-on management than the tiny minority who are. RTB's a service tailored to the majority. Note that as part of being a responsible host I have to disallow any file being submitted to RTB which Badspot has put on the crap-on list.
If you don't like it, start up your own add-on hosting service and see what happens. I can't guarantee Badspot will be happy with you, but that's your problem.

If the add-on is physically fine, its not the developers problem they try to run it on a low-end computer which barely supports a decent brick count anyway. Any mid class, modern day computer can handle things like the nuke.

It's not my call. The mini nuke was failed by Badspot and I'm just enforcing his decision. Take it up with him.

Why is your answer always "tell it to Badspot?". That is a very dismissive answer which you like to use a lot.
Its one thing to refuse to provide the add-on through your content system, another to block it using your own in-game creation AND take action against people who do provide it, even off-site like I did last year.

This is Badspot's game. RTB is a service to help Badspot and the community. I would be doing a disservice to him if I was supplying add-ons which he didn't want to be made available to his users. RTB runs within the restrictions Badspot has laid out and I adhere to them as closely as possible. I am not the person you should be discussing those limitations with. I don't know what else to tell you or how else to phrase that.

RTB doesn't block the usage of add-ons, and your ID was blocked from RTB to prevent you promoting or distributing your add-ons using the service. This is pretty standard for anyone else who has promoted failed add-ons, it's not a special case for you.
It would be nice to continue discussing this without the accusatory overtones. I'm being polite by taking time out of my day to reply to you - it'd be great if you reciprocated. If you have a question, just ask it.
