Porting mods.

[Crunchie]

Just curious as to what the population of Blockland thinks.
Don't let this influence you, but I would vote no.

No. This is entirely up to the author to do, and should be considered the author's property.

[jurttu]

In my opinion, no-one else than the author should be allowed to port his/her mods. Most of the people who port without permission won`t even bother to test their ported mod, which fills the Add-Ons and Maps section with Failbin material. TDM is a good example of this, it has been tried to be ported multiple times.

And what about the mods that deserve to stay unported? Most of the authors know if they should port their creation or not. Badspot should add a rule about this.

Porting mods should be a monopoly reserved for only the author of the mod, if somebody else ports it, then they need to be slapped.

No. This is entirely up to the author to do, and should be considered the author's property.

No. This is entirely up to the author to do, and should be considered the author's property.

[Space Guy]

If somebody knows how to port a mod and can do it properly, then I think they should be free to port it for their own server but not release it, to the public or anyone else.

[Nepthan]

I think that if the porter has permission from the author and can port decently, then it should be allowed.

you could get banned for quote pyramids

[n0cturni]

I would vote "Yes, if the author grants permission to have it ported by the community." if it were an option.

Have been before 
Also it's only three quotes, no harm done. When I got banned for it before it was like 8 quotes

I completely agree.

Its even worse when someone releases it and then refuses to give credit to the original author.

[Mateo]

I don't think it should matter who made an add-on that doesn't work with blockland anymore. People who can port it should, if the author thinks they can port it better with less mistakes then they should do so and ask the other person to take theirs down.
