Modders should be like musicians, in my honest opinion. People who create for themselves, and themselves alone. Their tastes, their styles, all for the sake of themselves, and release it to the world with no expectations of gratitude. Take every non-rate, and anti-rate with a grain of salt, and embrace the love and praise they recieve. If those modder's you're talking to don't feel like they're getting enough, then they're being a tad self-important. Couldn't have said it any better. I know when I release something I certainly don't expect end-users to grovel at my feet and give me worship. Comments and ratings are a nice bonus but in no way should be mandatory. If thats why why a person is into modding then I think they need to re-evaluate their reasons for doing so. A strict rules system would do nothing to benefit anyone.
