Hi

I recently noticed, that
1. many of the approved plugins arent maintained, and some of them are showing serious bugs. These should be unapproved until they are fixed, updated again, or not?
2. its a little hard to keep an eye on the plugins updates. I think it would be much appreciated by the community, if the plugins topic names get a "last updated" datum, so we can easy track updates to them. An average server contains 20-30 plugins, and thats not easy to keep updated, and look at all topics every time. Perhaps make this a rule in the "Approved Plugins" section?

I believe there is an open request (on the bug tracker) to have a "last updated" field in the plugin search tool.

If there is a plugin which has serious bugs it should indeed be unapproved. Use the "report post" button on the thread.

Please report plugins that are seriously bugged and aren't being maintained, using the "Report Post" button on the top post of the thread. There's a lot of them, and I unfortunately do not have time to stay on top of the discussion for every plugin.

Perhaps in the bar above the approved plugin post a link should go to create a corresponding bug for it on the bugtracker.

Approved plugins aren't a part of the SourceMod bug tracker.

what about having a "flag plugin as broken" option somewhere visible..

Where if enough users (say, 5?) flag the plugin as broken it automatically gets un-approved, and at that point you would even be able to automatically e-mail the author and tell him/her its been flagged as bugged etc...

[BAILOPAN]

Kind of tricky. What if four people had flagged it, the author fixed it, then a fifth flagged it? How would we know when to clear flagged entries? How long would one stay for?

[KMFrog]

well you could reset it when the author updated the file

would be much better to get the general users to do some of the work then just making mods spend hours going through plugins, which prompted my idea

Yeah, I input the request to have "Last updated" added, this may give an idea to a user or administrator on whether the plugin is being maintained. Maybe go and vote, or whatever it is you do on a request to support the request.

I agreee. A last updated field in the title of the topic woulbe enough, and perfect solution.
