*Do not post mod announcements*
-
These threads announce a mod that will be released in a year or months from the thread. They may also ask for suggestions. I'm getting tired of these threads because some of them are never released or will never be released for many years.
If you make a thread here about one, it'll probably be moved or deleted.

At least your works are in development though, and from someone like you who is pretty renowned for being a developer, there should be no problem at all. I'm sure he just means mod threads where there is literally no creditability at all (like we've just seen >_>).
I think mods need to be at least in the beginning phases of development before thread announcing. Unless it's the work of a particular user who has had obvious experience. -
I think @boxmein is right. There should be a link to github showing the work being done. If you dont have proof that your mod will be out within a few weeks to a month, don't announce it.

Yes, I think Github commits or some sort of proof would be best to show you're atleast producing something. Though it has to be something major, like 2 or 3 elements made or something. Not just one element and a new title.

But that brings in the issue of saying you want to make a mod, but need a few tips of where to go... Maybe a rule of you need to have made progress within a week of posting? That way you can post an announcement and get feedback on the idea before starting.
Edit: As I have had 2 large mods, I know what kind of advantage that gives you... Pre-production feedback... -
I remember creating one of those threads, I ended up giving up, compiling gave me errors every goddamn time.
