I truly hope it doesn't ruffle the feathers to the point that a mod user gets less help than a player who doesn't use mods. That's not what we want at all. I think that most times when a member mentions specific mods, it's because it's a new member who just didn't look at the rules and once that's pointed out, all is well. I agree with Ausette that knowing a player is using mods is better than not knowing. Without that piece of information, we could be running in circles trying to figure out what the problem is. But with that knowledge, we can at least tell the player that it could be a potential problem in addition to offering other suggestions.
And, Twallan, we appreciate your willingness to help on our Forum. Your knowledge of the game is fantastic. We also appreciate that you respect our rules about mentioning mods by name and linking, so thank you for that.
