hello my dear pal,

I am very sorry for the situation, but we are not able to keep your mod on the portal for a few reasons

Including executable files brings us into a huge risk and liability, many virus programs were flagging the mod (I am sure they are false positive),
But nonetheless if we allow your mod and others will begin to copy, it can open the door for malicious actors

The image showing how to extract the mod portal cookie/token as well is too close to a path of how people lose accounts,
Again I am sure yours was harmless, but it sets a precedent that we would allow these instructions

Lastly the mod somewhat breaks an unspoken promise for players, that the modding experience it just 'download and play',
Mods on the portal should be playable without any user intervention.

In short, I am very sorry as the mod looked very good and your work and support for the mod pack was great,
And we will be happy to help to see if you can bring the mod back without any external scripting required and how we can help you with that

Okay, please help lift my ban. Moving forward, I will no longer post content related to cookies or executable files and will only upload compressed archives of mod code. I truly failed to consider potential security risks. Even though none of my content was malicious, rules are rules, and I will abide by them strictly.
