That sounds too totalitarian and it is not in the best interest of alliedmodders to get involved to such an extent. If proof is provided and the person in question is a member here, they should ban him/her if they violate the sourcemod license, but that's as far as they should go. I understand that some users are taking advantage of server owners who can not tell a good script from a poor one, however they should be expected to do their research rather than having AM do the work for them. What's a trusted user anyway? Who says someone with a ton of approved plugins wouldn't recycle very old code for a few bucks? The solution should come from the community, not from AM. Something like coderhire or
scriptfodder but for sourcemod and amxmodx. AM wannabe entrepreneurs, this is your chance.
Having said that I agree that the approved section should be brought back, not only is it a better indicator for server owners to know which coders know what they're doing (thus
reducing the chance of them paying for poorly coded plugins), but it's also better for new coders to know what plugins to read and learn from, and it also pushes coders to improve and make more efficient plugins to get them approved.
As for plenty of people willing to moderate plugins, that's not the problem, the problem is finding people with the right amount of knowledge and experience with sourcemod to moderate plugins.
