I posted this a while back, after the initial mod ban wave, but I feel like now is a good time to reiterate as you have taken a more active approach to the forums.
WG makes a list of acceptable mods. These mods come are made by community members; the developers do not need to intervene. Community members are able to add mods to this official list, on one condition—that each mod is demonstrated and tested to WG employees, who will verify that it is a legal mod and not a cheat.
All players will then be able to access the official list of WG-approved mods, which is the only allowed source for mods; the installation of any mod that is not included in the list results in an immediate and permanent ban. This system allows for the modding community to exist without fear for players using cheats.
Thank you for listening.
