    Btw, the system fails. Not even one server has the thumb up icon. Why you don't make it so that main server has the original mod files and when server starts compares them and if they are the same then server verifies ? Your system is way too complex. For example, now I am running Ranks mod without me touching the files but since I am not the developer my server doesn't verify. Your system doesn't really help server owners to distribute mods, it only helps the developers. Have you thought that the developer doesn't actually run a server of it's own ?

    Point by point:
    1. I've seen servers with the thumb up icon. Its early days - mod distribution isn't finished (just verification so far) and loads of mods aren't registered yet so its no surprise.
    2. The API server having the mods is what the next phase of the system is going to be. I've said that already in the OP.
    3. You don't need to be the developer to verify it, but the developer needs to have registered it and distributed the mod files with the registration.json file they generated for it. I saw a server yesterday that was verified which was running the Ranks mod, so it clearly works.
    4. The current system only does verification, not distribution. I already said that, and I already said that distribution is the next phase. It's coming soon.
    5. Yes, obviously mods are being run by people other than the original developer. But thanks for the condescending tone all the same.

    I don't ? because I tried and fail. How about a step by step tutorial on how to do it ?

    *Hmm... some mods can be downloaded with the registration file included but some don't. For example Ranks mode can not be downloaded, the Download button is gray.

    *Btw I had no intention of insulting you in any way.

    If they don't include the registration.json file then you can't verify it. You're right that it looks like the Ranks mod hasn't had it included in the current download available on the forum - nothing I can do about that.
    If the dev wants their mod to be verifiable then they have to include it.

    It'll all get a lot simpler once the next phase is done (or at least I hope so ::D:)
