Both should be set by the author/creator. Everything is better than "hidden" or removed. So much lovely and hard work gone for "nothing". I appreciate every previous author and give credits appropriately (as far as I can), even in my unpublished work I give credits where its due. Thought about it, too. Easiest way to do it now. But nobody or not many people do it this way. We have lost a great mod in NMS because it got set to hidden. Fortunately a user got a recent copy but he hesitates to publish a working version because he cannot see a single kind of information given by the original author (like "license" etc.) and he doesn't respond. This is sad. This is actually fine. If the mod is considered to be done and still working, there is no need to anything tbh. The problem lies in authors changing mods to hidden because they don't want or cannot update it at the moment because there are no other options.

Hey there, it would be great if it would somehow possible to mark mods "Outdated" or "Not maintained". Since there is a mod status section already, it might be used for that? Currently old mods either get deleted or set hidden due to authors not able or wanting to maintain a mod any further. Unfortunately a lot of good / great mods get lost this way where a new user might want to pickup the work (if allowed by the creator). regards Sefer
