Just because I know how to fully automate combat does not mean that I will ever create let alone release a mod like that.

I guess I have no choice but to take this as 'I went too far'.
As far as I could see, I was the first to release a raid mod with healing buttons on them... then I even added priest detection scripting. I was proud at the thanks I got for my first real foray into UI modding. I didn't really know why no one else had released such a thing, so I thought I was being "clever".
As I mentioned before, I am a newcomer to UI modding so I had never really read much of the forums or looked at many of the pieces. (I use mostly default myself with some custom things) I thought with my more heavily scripted mods, I was again doing something "clever" that no one thought to do. I didn't think that there was some sort of secret understanding of modders to never attempt something like this. (Don't give me that face, you know what I mean.) I feel sort of stupid for having passed that line where there was an understanding somewhere to not pass.
I don't really know what to do anymore. I could care less what random users think as I've been dealing with people thinking ACT makes the game too easy for years. But I guess crossing the lines that modders think are safe kinda is different.
I suppose I can add the dead-mans-switch logic I already planned out and delete the old archived version. But it's making me wonder about releasing any other mods though. Even if I add abuse protection, someone with a tiny bit of knowledge could probably remove it.
