Chris Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Due to the large amount of files being uploaded to our database and lack of time on staff member's part, some of you are waiting more than a few days for your mods to be approved and are understandably getting frustrated and posting topics here about it. This topic should address some of the problems we face and help you understand our position and why we may not have approved your mod sooner. Why do our mods need to be approved by you? It's a safety and integrity measure. If we didn't approve/check mods ourselves, people could upload viruses and other malware and we'd be responsible for distributing it. On a less serious note, some people upload truly awful and poorly made mods that we simply do not want in our database. Why hasn't my mod been approved yet? We get a lot of mod submissions. It takes time to check each mod is what it's said to be, and that the file contains no viruses. A huge problem is with people uploading mods they've downloaded from other websites that they didn't actually make themselves. This means we often need to check the uploader is also the actual author of the mod. A backlog thus builds up since we can't check every minute of everyday, and so we end up missing genuine mods sometimes. I've waited more than 48 hours and my mod is still not approved, can I post here to bring it to your attention? Sure. If you're adamant your mod is worthy of inclusion in our database, and you are the one who's made it, then post the name/ID of it here and we'll check it out as soon as we see your post, and hopefully approve it. My mod was unapproved/deleted. Why? Reasons why this may have occured: Not your mod - file will either be deleted or attributed to the real author Duplicate - the mod is already in our database Contains virus / other malware Mod was very badly made, no readme etc. - also if you drew over a skin in MS Paint... we hate those :/ Is there any way I can skip the mod approval process? Yes there is actually. Authors with 3 or more files already approved will automatically bypass the process and have files immediately appearing in the database. This is in place because we believe that if you already have this amount of mods then in all likelihood you're a trustworthy person. Of course, should you then break the rules regarding mods you'll be warned or even banned and risk having some/all your files removed. What rules are there for uploading mods? You'll find these above the upload form. Why can't I delete screenshots or change the category of my mod? These limits were originally put in place to prevent abuse. i.e. people deleting all screens of their mods so people don't know what it looks like in game, or moving their mod to an inappropriate category so it's not easily found. Screenshot removal is something that will be added in the future though. In the meantime, if you need screenshots removed or the category changed, PM Chris on the forums and ask. If there's something I've missed, or anything you need clarification on, please post here. Otherwise, this topic can now be used to fasttrack your mod approval for those who are desperate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 Actually it had only been 1 week but whatever. There's no limit on the number of files you can upload either. Once you have 3 approved mods you don't need to wait for approval on any more mods you upload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 He was suggesting that you only get 3 uploads a day, so it can't be much work for you to approve mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huntinghair Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I've uploaded two skin mods that have yet to be approved. The SWAT Skin Set that I uploaded on the 5th of May, and the SWAT Stealth Uniform that I uploaded on the 2nd of July. They don't contain any viruses and I don't believe I've broken any rules in uploading them (since I made them myself.) It would be nice if they were approved. The following screenshot is from the SWAT Stealth Uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trickstar Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Please approve my mod "Empire Mode," it was created by myself and I have uploaded it on several other sites under this same username and on one has nearly 2000 downloads and 5 star rating, so it contains no viruses.

Ninja-X³ Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Well I created the Spider-boy skin for GTA3. I'm waiting for it to be approved. But it sure as hell looks better than that Spider-man skin someone posted for GTA3. Because he used MS Paint and it looks like crap. Mine was used with Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro. Mine was perfect due to the fact that Spider-boy also wears a leather jacket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 No one's are - we don't currently have anyone moderating the downloads as all our staff are too busy. Have approved yours now though, if anyone else is wanting theirs approved let me know in this topic and I'll make sure they get approved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
