Come now, that's not the attitude to have. If you feel you'll get flamed needlessly then just refrain from posting your mods, its not worth it to take the hatred when it can be avoided. Secondly, if you personally don't think your mod is up to board standards then don't post it or you're almost certain to get flamed. 3rd if you have a bad attitude then it wont reflect well on you anyways. That's like a self fulfilled prophecy. "If I post crappy stuff and have a crappy attitude then surely they'll get annoyed and flame me, possibly ban me." No duh. You're setting yourself up and you know it.
Look, not everyone here criticizes well or even appropriately. Its the internet, people have opinions and they get all proud and uppity about them and often times lack a certain subtlety and grace. Sometimes they criticize in a way that makes no sense or has no merit just because they want their opinion to be heard, and sometimes they criticize properly and it can be helpful. Don't take it too personally if you get yelled at. Just try to look at the criticizing and see if you actually do any of the things people fault you for, then decide which of those things actually matters or not. For instance, if you get criticized for making mods that don't entirely fit the artistic aesthetic of the game but have good quality and you don't really have to listen to the people who criticize your art style. Some people will like it and some wont. Mods are free so they shouldn't complain as long as the mods are functional and within the general board standards. If you make a mod that has a different art style and it has bad quality and falls below board standards, THEN you would be wise to take the criticism better so that you post proper quality.
This board has quality control because its annoying to see 8 continuous threads of pointless and badly put together mods, and sometimes people post mods that are hard to install or require you to change and add things to the base folder which most people don't want to tamper with for good reason. Don't get caught up in board drama, its not worth it. Just post things that stay within minimum standards, and if people criticize you in a way that isn't warranted then ignore them. And honestly, if it happens so often that you feel outcast then maybe something IS wrong with the way you post or the mods you submit. And if you mods meet minimum standards and you're still being treated badly then you're probably better off just not posting on these forums because they might be full of hooligans. But it has to be one of those two things. Figure out hat it is for yourself, and then decide what to do from there. Don't post mods in despair like this one, do it with pride and do it with standards.
