To Icelus R.E. The Modlist

I was wondering if a sub-category might be made for the games, the "joke mod" category. There are a few jokes on there, and some of them can really hose your game. They might be fun, but the last thing we want is a new mod-user giving up on the community and mods because of one joke mod.

I think it's really for the best if you don't ask us to start classifying which mods we consider to be jokes.
Well, talk about totally shooting down a compliment. All MTS was asking for was a new category.
how come you always look so damn cool in every photo I see you in?!?
Speaking of modding, I listened to IER 3 yesterday, so you can have another quote for your signature: how come you sound so damn cool, as well as look it? It's unfair. Seriously.
Still a cyberjock, still hacking the matrix, still unsure of what that means.

You, of all people, should appreciate the dangers of subjectivity.

One can add one's own entries to the modlist, which is what makes it so wonderful. There isn't one specific person on which the burden for keeping it updated lies.
Then again, there is something to be said for not listing terrible mods. (Yes, I'm aware Goo is on there. )
As said above, people would add their own. Not asking the moderators to move mods.

Similarly, if someone submitted a mod that we concluded was a joke to a non-joke area, we would have to move it to the joke area. This would then result in mass hysteria and rioting.

Rest assured, we do agonize from time to time over whether we would be justified to append "For Chrissake, don't download this!" to some mod descriptions.

Then, alas, the whole concept falls down because people choose to spoil it.I'd assume that mods would only be placed in the joke category if the author requested it.

It could be helpful if there were a review or two attached to each mod, I suppose. The problem is that such reviews tend to be of "praise" nature, instead of concentrating on bugs, inconcistency with the game content and other problematic issues.
When TeamBG started its modlist, there were review sections for many of the mods. There should be at least a rating for each of the mods, since many people would be too lazy/have little time for full-fledged reviews.

I agree, a public rating system would be nice. Would help seperating the good mods from the not-so-good mods.
Unless touchy people would disagree, but since when has PPG being touchy-feely?
(That was not a crack on PPG)
No. No, they really are defunct.
