Something I've noticed on this site, and pretty much all modding sites is that people don't seem to know the process is making a mod.
People who've never made mods seem to believe that mods magically appear out of nowhere and can be completely redone at any time.
They actually take hours and hours and hours (and hours) of modeling, texturing, and placing.
The point being, it can annoy or stress out modders when you make weird unreasonable demands on their releases.
Sorry if this is spammy, I just believe it needed to be said. It also frustrated me when I see a modding God on this website release soemthing awesome, and people are just saying counter-constructive demands like "giv it w1ngs n fire breth n make it a furry pl0x."

There's little that can be
There's little that can be done about public ignorance (believe me, this extends well beyond mods), except to get them to find out firsthand. Encourage them to mod themselves, they'll find out.
