What if that 5th version is broken? it's not unknown for modders to keep tinkering until they break everything. I can think of several once good mods that are now broken because the modder didn't know when to stop. You make a valid point, but I believe this isn't any different than having endorsed the first iteration only to see the second, third, etc. iteration break the mod. Most users won't come back and remove their endorsements for various reasons. Most users will also not remove an endorsement when a Mod hasn't been updated for a long time and no longer works with the new/patched game version. As to the fifth downloaded iteration (not the fifth iteration per se though in some cases that may be) by one user (or any reasonable number decided by management really), it would only be the turning point where endorsement is added automatically (but can be removed by said user). I think whether modders (and users) like it or not, there is probably a correlation between endorsements and downloads. As with everything, the early adopters (or in this case, the early modders) generally have quite an advantage and there is a snowball effect where users download top ranked mods, endorse top rank mods, and generally end up reproducing some sort of pareto principle where the top 20% Mods end up with 80% of the endorsements. This generally stays true even if some Mods haven't been updated for months (years). The proposition 1. and 2. would help both newcomers and those who've kept working on their mod overcome such situation. As to the label used (endorse) and as a modder, I agree w/ DrakeTheDragon that it probably doesn't matter. However, as a user of Mods, I think pixelhate may be on to something. +1/Like/Thanks are probably easier to give than endorsements, the latter being more intense, for lack of a better word.
