People have been making breakthroughs in modding lately, like sp to mp conversions, new utilities, perfect models, etc. But, none are usually ever released, they are kept so secret that if someone posts one they get tagged and sometimes even banned for leaking it. Especially when things like videos and pics are posted and people practically have to get down and beg for a mod to only receive "it's not done yet","it is still in testing", or just the fact that it won't be released because it is "secret". Things like that are holding the modding community back, people are starting to sound like bungie, microsoft, and gearbox, they are even getting mad about the HEK not being out and don't realize that they are creating the same effect. I don't understand why they don't just release it, they'll still be rewarded, be labled a breakthrough modder, and at the same time help the modding community. If things weren't kept so secret and hidden from others, we would probably be alot further in modding, if things like that are released we might even gain enough knowledge from it to develope somthing close to the HEK before it even arrives if ever. My point is, don't be greedy, share your findings and work, be a team, help create a better modding foundation, and don't hog the knowledge. This is my opinion and may not be the same as yours, so vote in the poll and post your feelings about this subject, don't let the modding community destroy itself,

EDIT: I have to agree with many of you, modding info and hints should not be held back, but full mods don't exactly need to be released, my point in the above post is that info should atleast be released and if someone wants to release a mod they should not be kept from doing it, for example the reason that made me right this post was that a friend of mine did a conversion, posted a vid, and people got mad and said not to release it, they accused him of getting a leaked tutorial and said that he used that when he did not, then people said he could get banned for releasing the mod, that is so stupid, people holding others back like that,

EDIT#2: New and improved point: Don't tell us about your new mod way before it is finished and get our hopes up, please just tell us about it when you have an exact release date "it puts less stress on the community" as stated in an above post, also if your gonna tell us early atleast keep us updated, and last of all, I don't know how I can get it across but, Don't Tell The Community About A Mod If Your Going To Never Release It Or Keep It For Yourself, Period. Thankyou,
