Your skill in missing the point has increased to level XII. My main problem is grammar and terminology; I understand well the problems with constructing rules for altering the client, but I couldn't read what you wrote accurately. Kinda like your last sentence "[...]already hopelessly [noun?]"; that adjective should be describe something.
 Oh, and "all such mods" was to refer to the ones/kinds Aiwendil posted. The same ones you had referred to.

 You broke the link to "advertising" in the second sentence of your second paragraph. Since you hate getting and staying off topic, why do you do it so much?
 What do you mean by "wasted effort" when it only requires they be imbedded into the page? Why do you infer that the ads are going to get people into the game?
 (It's like an extension.)

 By now Talad should have a mild idea of how much money it makes, and can decide to switch to a different kind of ad deal or remove them completely. I still think the advertising trade off would be more valuable right now than the money maker.

 Remember not to consider the forum community and the game community different. There are only a handful that inhabit just one... You aught to be back on topic for the entire time after your bolded words.

 I think those twelve triangles on the pot are worth it, since there are more side angles you can look at it from than top angles. It's also a lot more obvious when you're moving around it.

 On both the thread and wood grain, I think you need to make the texture more pronounced. If I make the images dark, and my room dark, I can still see the wood grain (real wood, not plastic and board) on my desk, but not on the corner-tables. Likewise, I can still see the threads of our indoor placemat, but not those of the rugs.
 Horizontally blurring the patterns a bit more along the threads would also help. It's rather hard to get a perfectly even dye on the thread used the weave a rug before it is weaved. Although I guess they could use magic to dye it after it's weaved.

 Out of four things, not what I was referring to. The first statement read like "modifications [...] are forbidden"→"which gives some players an unfair advantage", which isn't what you meant. I still can't find where the subject of "are offensive and obviously violating laws". Shouldn't that sentence be:
"I believe we can agree that modifications of art or software are forbidden because they can give players an unfair advantage (cheating), can be offensive, or can violate laws."

 I think I understand the next two sentences now. I was confused because "acceptance" and "being accepted" are also different things, and purpose doesn't make a difference if violates a contract or law. Tolerance is different from acceptance because if you tolerate the above mods, that means you want to get rid of them, but know you should not. While acceptance is different from "being accepted" because if you have acceptance towards the mods, you don't actually want to get rid of them.
 So now that I know, what's keeping you from banning all such mods if you want to?

 I only lately learned why good stuff like this isn't added to the game universe, but it always seems like there should be a way to do it that isn't nasty. I hope you enjoyed writing them.

Why would those things being forbidden give players an unfair advantage? Your post seems helpful, but I don't know how to parse it.
