Except the Average MCF Pack Dev would blame CoolSquid without even knowing what version he had, a few weeks later he'd do it again. And again. And AGAIN. AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN! AND AGAIN!
Really stupid things that people have said about Modded MC(Off topicness makes moderators tired)

So you are making your mods for yourself, but then releasing them to the public....How would your mod be "stolen" by putting it in a pack for others to play? Is that not what you created a mod for? If the mod is outdated that would be the pack-devs fault ofc.
People don't go to the pack dev if there's a problem because of an outdated mod version, they typically go pester the dev about it. That put a strain on people's sanity when they've already fixed a bug and are still being bothered about it for weeks after the fix is released.
Edit: And ninja'd.
No. I make my mods because I like to do it. Sharing it is something I do because reasons (I don't really know, I just feel like publishing them).So you are making your mods for yourself, but then releasing them to the public....
What makes me sick are people complaining about how greedy we modders are (and that we are self-entitled fucks). There are literally people claiming ownership over all mods!
Most users don't understand simple things like that. Just ask @Reika.

I'm not saying we own your mods.... That too is insane. It is your work and bravo! I am just saying I'm stick of the permissions and the drama it creates. Also about bugs, I guess that is the price to pay for having good, awesome mods. Be proud and lose your sanity.
By the way, I understand how hard it might be to understand. It's just how it is. I also felt like this was weird before I started modding. But then I realised that creating something, and getting it redistributed without people even using 5 minutes on asking you, is an awful feeling.
I have codded a mod, and would love for it to be popular... I have also created add-ons for other programs. Ina ll cases I would want my work to be awesome and popular. Why is it awful to have your mods distributed? It really does not matter whether they ask or not, exept as a weird form of thanks I guess.... idk
EDIT: I like jotatos opinion-
"I never understood why the community needs "permission" to use a mod in a pack. If I didn't want you to use it I would not have made it. Have fun!"

In a perfect world, we'd be able to build off of each other's work to our hearts content. In a perfect world, this would allow for millions of amazing mods for every single occasion and playstyle. In a perfect world, this thread would not exist.
But we are not in a perfect world, and thus this thread exists, and thus idiots exists, and thus we cannot have nice things because they keep throwing their radioactive waste all over it

Because I feel like people are gaining credit on something other people made. Without even asking them! I don't want to drown in fake bug reports just to get some more downloads. In most packs (especially 3rd party Technic packs), people don't even know you made it! And let's not even talk about 9minecraft...
I am not saying stealing mods is good at all... It's not really "stealing" a mod by putting it with others and distrusting it, is it?
No, you are not. Not really, but the problem is that if they allow you to put it in without asking them, then all of the self entitled bucks (male deer) of the world will just jump on the banwagon and copypasta it all over tumblr with 20+ miles of ad.fly in between
If the author didn't give permission, it breaks the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, and legal action may be taken. It's piracy. Piracy is stealing.
Ah, well if you are credited and have a link like FTB why would you feel the need to have people message you to ask "permission" to use a mod? Take my pack for instance. I did not make TFC, but I put a lot of work into putting it together with other mods and such. So I might be more recognized in that pack for creating it, but the dev Biox is still listed and I really appreciate what he did for the community.
This attitude annoys me... If you dont want others to use your mod why did you release it? If it cost money I could see you being mad. but you cant make money with. It is your property yes, but why then keep it from the community?
Meh, I'm not all too morally perfect. If I want a game and I can pirate it, I sometimes do, but if I end up playing any more than 2 hours I more often than not buy it, even if I already beat it.
Then there's SimCity13, which we all can agree pirating it is the only real way to play
I like packs when the maker is putting effort into it. But I don't want my mods in some outdated sink pack at Technic (I have a certain hate against Technic). I don't have a problem giving modpack permissions, but people could at least take the time to ask me.
Right now could they not do that, without asking perms? I am pretty sure the sites that host that kind of thing dont really care in the first place. lolz
Yes, but it'd happen a lot more often if they let the floodgates openRight now could they not do that, without asking perms? I am pretty sure the sites that host that kind of thing dont really care in the first place. lolz
I'm just getting at the why though. Just because it is nice, it is still kind of annoying for pack devs. Especially when a modder needs lots of info or something and makes the whole thing annoying. When I select mods for a pack if it is labeled perm, I think twice. That is sad for mods that are good.
Is'nt it wrong in both instances? It's not like there are any safeguards for perm mods to prevent this, nor are there for open ones. Open source and open perms are different I hope....
