[PixelDubs]

Ban self promotion in plugins, examples include in item title and texts, and abusing loading screen using LUA, hint I'm looking at you @anhkatori2 or @anhkatori2k which one is active idk.

He use LUA on loading screen to self promote which is annoying when opening the game.

Completely agree, this should be banned (aside from text, I think it's fine there even though not very cool). I don't even understand how it got approved in the first place.

(In British accent) yes, that is very quite annoying.

Well,...I beg your pardon for reply after so long time of silence in this topic...but I see it (self promo in plugins) in different point of view.

And my point of view is based on experience with Simutrans (open-source transportation strategy like OpenTTD, but with more graphical sets). There author name has own column (in dat file) and if is filled, it is showed in game. At this moment I am not sure if in all types of objects, but at least in case of buildings (excepting few specific ones) it is showed. And nobody has problem.

And of course, it is also about style of that information. There author name is called in the last line of building description, without any other word like in case of @Anhkatori2 or @Anhkatori2k. So, it is better readable.
