We cannot review every version of every modification and cannot provide any guarantees that modifications are within our server rules.
Any modifications should be downloaded from the official source for that modification. Unofficial downloads from other sources may not perform as expected and may include bugs, unadvertised features (which could result in punishments on our server), or malicious codes including viruses or spyware.
