    Why does he think that downloading mods = bans? And why do you need our help to delete files on your own computer?

    I believe he's trying to say that his brother used a botnet to artificially boost the downloads of one of his mods, in hopes of framing him, and getting him banned for artificially boosting his own mod. However, based on the apparent age and intelligence of him and @_Diamond_Coal_, I'd guess "botnet" means he mashed the download button on the mod page for half an hour straight.

    Why should we believe it was your brother and not you, and why should we care in the first place? I made a shitty engine mod that got like 2.5k downloads at least. Nobody is getting banned.

    Also, it looks like a pretty decent skin pack, fairly simple but there's nothing wrong with that. Are you sure that people didn't just download your mod that many times?

    I remember when some statistics came out a lot of people were surprised at how many downloads mods actually get. Vmlinuz is correct in that it's perfectly reasonable for that skin pack to get that many legitimate downloads.

    Did I just say Vmlinuz is right about something? What is the world coming to?..

    Tell your brother to stop being butthurt and keep your computer far away from him. Lock it down too.

    Just tell him it's innefective, it won't get you banned, ETC. It's not worth his effort.
