With the next version of Hera about to release, developers have been undergoin ambitious projects like mission addons. However, every developer feels that they're supposed to release 'previews' of their plugins.

I feel that previews shouldn't be released as they would only clutter up the addons section. Only previews for total conversions should be submitted, if every developer were to submit an incomplete plugin the addons section would fill up like the EV boards.

(Alug is Slug, with a typo)

I agree with Slug. I don't think previews are necessary. What if you come up with a major change of plans after you release the preview? Why ruin the suspense as to what the story line is goin to be?

I see your point. Maybe previews are strictly for the hotline server.

Nono, I'm just trying to say that only total conversions deserve previews.

I agree with Slug, previews aren't really needed.

The only problem we have, as moderators, is that if we delete certain plugs as "substandard" or "inappropriate", people are bound to complain. It's a delicate situation.

Yeah, I'm treading thin ice when I delete an outdated version of a plug.
