Formal Warning Issued - RiftShadow

RiftShadow has received a formal warning for violating our community rules.

Reason

Uploading a fake mod claiming to be a "Memory Cleaner" for Fallout 4.

After decompiling and inspecting the source code this was determined to be intentionally fake and misleading.

The mod does the following things:

1. Starts up a quest when the game loads and prints a message saying Memory Cleaner Initialized.
2. Sets up an unsafe "while" loop which uses a Wait() function to hold the scripting engine for 10 minutes.
3. At each 10-minute interval it displays a notification "Memory Cleaner Running..." and proceeds to initialise two values as None (empty) objects. It then will post a notification saying "Cleaned: UnusedObject, UnusedActor".
4. Finally it will post a message saying "Memory Cleaner Complete." after doing nothing.
5. This process loops constantly while the game is running.

It's not clear what the intent was behind this mod but the way it was presented is deliberately misleading.
