I am NOT attacking them. The only thing i said was that their mods lacked creativity in my eyes, and the last good mod that i remember seeing (of which i havent played in LITERAL MONTHS) was the chaotix. I am not attacking these mods. I am merely saying my opinion. I don't know why you're insisting on my offensive nature, as if i havent been extremely nice in the comments and actively discouraged harassment in my post, (as is quoted, you can find it.)I'm not sure what your main issue with mods is. Some of these are pretty "creative" in that they take existing work to make something new.
Or I guess in the side of Takis, making an Antonblast out of a doodle of Tails. Which I'd say is pretty creative on itself, even more when you consider the inner machinations of the mod (the scripts in there have to be massive and/or unreadable. impressive )
A few critical differences between making a modification for a game and making a nationwide healthcare system is that you can learn to make a game modification in a few days through investigating how the game works and how to interpret and write in a scripting language of your choice, while a healthcare system requires money and support and years of planning to give everyone in your nation free medical assistance, only to find out a few days later that it will cost you millions to sustain it. Or so I've been told.
You are told to make a mod so you can understand the potential struggles a would-be mod maker has to get into, like knowledge required to do things and why they take time and why they often use something that already exists as a base.
You're naming specific mods in your original post, and using them as explicit examples of what you find as, and I quote, "bunch of really poorly typed sonic/tails remakes" and "low-effort remakes".
You're also stating "It just really bothers me how the page nowadays is lacking creativity".
You're also contrasting these examples by saying that "I think the last REALLY GOOD new mod was like, the chaotix."
You are attacking these mods.
There are way better ways to say that you find some mods to lack creative spark without going on a rant where you bash a bunch of mods as "not creative".
I'm allowed to dislike mods for whatever reason i please, and if i was actually trying to harm any of the creators, i would've ripped into why i really disliked the mods and i wouldve essentially insulted the mods asides from "I think they're lacking the effort of the older mods" and that I personally like mods that take a more creative spin.
Is it so wrong that i simply don't like certain mods? Am i not allowed to state the mods that i dislike? Am i a bad guy for trying to express my point? Am i the offender for giving examples of what i dislike? The answer to all of those is No. Stop putting words in my mouth. I have never been, nor never will be attacking any mods here ever, because i greatly value this game's community. You can see how much i care because I'm actively engaging with this post, including the slightly rude comments, and i'm actually considering the thoughts of overs.
rant over :D

Thank you for playing takis, I really appreciate it. I do agree with you that there really isn't much creativity in Takis, his whole thing is basically copying Antonblast for crying out loud, creativity isnt necessarily my strong suit, as my other character is based somewhat off of Sonic. I respect your argument.
How do you expect me to describe them? I'm not going to dance around the subject. It's criticism, not an attack. If i was trying to attack them, then i would've actually insulted them beyond "Low quality and Uncreative". Theres not many ways to talk about what i am in the most respectable manner that doesen't offend anyone.You can't just say "with all due respect" and then say whatever you want afterwards in a real conversation. It doesn't work that way. Your actual words on the subject determine what you mean. You called them "low-quality" DIRECTLY!!! That's attacking!! "Not interesting." And yes, you did indeed imply with this entire post that you "So, i expected to see some really cool things. I look at the modding page, and its just a bunch of really poorly typed sonic/tails remakes." You literally expected something really great from the modding community and when you don't get what you want you came into the discussion forum and complained about it.
What i actually said was "I can't really see the creativity in some of these mods", and "I don't like the amount of low quality mods". I'm not even really complaining, i'm just trying to see if this is just a "Me issue" or something beyond that.
