While it may not be as lasting, reputation is still definitely a thing in Blockland.



In addition, to mitigate the problem, the GUI could give you a link to the diff between your current version and the update, giving you a relatively convenient way to review the update yourself if you're into scripting.



I wouldn't. I don't believe it'd be beneficial in the end to severely limit the usefulness just because of the off chance that someone might push a malicious update (ruining his/her reputation, would you run an add-on by cciamlazy?).



It's absolutely not. Once people decide they're done playing Blockland, that reputation means nothing to them and they're free to forget up whatever they want with nothing holding them back - and this has happened far too many times to count now.I'm "into scripting" and I can't imagine myself ever doing that. The 99% of people who aren't into scripting also won't ever do that so it's fairly pointless.Blockland add-ons are barely reliant on having a strong reputation. I could create a new account, release some stuff gun mod, have a thousand users over the course of however long that takes and then flip a switch to provide everyone with an update that hijacks their key entry screen. People would be rebooting their games and handing their keys over to me within minutes.The forums can't be compared to this because there's no notification of a new update. It could take days for someone to realise an update is available and that's days for someone competent to realise it's going to jack their key. In my experience the community has reacted pretty quickly to any malicious add-on releases on the forums.There's no "off chance" here - we're dealing with kids who have unrestricted access to relatively large audiences. All it takes is for someone with a popular add-on to either allow any number of the recent drama trolls access to their repo or just get their account compromised (as has happened with various forum/email hijackings) and you've got a situation on your hands.
