The person who talks about mods and the person who creates them could live in perfect symbiosis in terms of their activities. The fact that this is not happening is a serious oversight.
I agree completely.

There used to be a long post here with a lot of negativity. I decided to remove it.

In short, I talked to Remix on the phone, and it lasted for an hour or so. I am very grateful to him for finally convincing me to call. Although we argued a little at first and expressed our grievances, the conversation eventually became reasonable, constructive, and even pleasant.

Overall, I looked at many things from a different perspective, and I hope Remix also saw the situation through my eyes and the eyes of the modders.

Remix promised that he would provide links to the original files of the modders and not copy them to his group.
He also promised that he would provide a link to Hero World for the mod he is reviewing (he actually does this often anyway). Also, if Remix has reviewed your mod and you have, for example, a VK group or some similar resource, you can contact Remix and ask him to add a link to your resource related to the mod from the review.

In turn, Remix asks to attach his reviews to the pages of the mods. I think this is a normal request and a very good and useful idea for everyone.

He invites authors to do joint mod reviews.
I urge all modders to cooperate with him, arrange reviews of mods in the presence of the author. Because the author often cannot present his work properly, and Remix does not have much knowledge about modding, so the presence of the author can help tell the audience about the mod in more detail and not only from one perspective. In theory, this is a really good idea for symbiosis.
Remix also suggests that modders who are, for one reason or another, dissatisfied with the review of their mod, agree on a joint new review, in which the authors can, if they want, defend their work.

In short, he actually makes a good impression as a reasonable person who cares. I apologize to everyone if my comments before this made people dislike him.

We talked to him, and I think I was able to convey to him that many of his words offended the modders, but I got the impression that he did not do it intentionally. In addition, now I understand that many of our words offended him, including those with which we did not intend to offend him. And I would like to apologize at least for myself.

Let's all respect each other's work. Remix may be quick-tempered and react more sharply than he should (this shortcoming is also inherent in me), I still don't understand some of his decisions, but overall he is making an effort to overcome this inherent shortcoming. He is interested in interacting and can help the community in many ways. I urge you to cooperate, it is important.

Also, during the conversation, a couple more good ideas emerged. For example, create a sub-section on Hero World called "mods in development" where raw and still-being-developed mods will be posted, and if a review is made, it will be from the perspective of "this is a draft." Overall, I think it's a good idea, because modding in Heroes is a specific thing, and it's better to somehow separate for the audience "this is already ready" and "this is still being worked on."
