Now obviously I definitely think people should get credit where credit is due, especially on something larger than PCT icons (Like a map, for instance). The larger and more work put into an item the more credit due.

Note that.

If you release something with the intentions of people using it, it's often better to just politely request credit and let it go from there rather than track down each offending thief and start a huge reputation-destroying argument over it.

A metaphor:

You have five pennies (Tib crystals), and you let people borrow them, but request them back (credit) at the end of the day. But come sunset, you only have four. Obviously it was wrong of the person to take the penny, but it's only a penny. Is it worth the time and effort to track down that person, beat them up (flame war) and take your penny back (get credit)? No, not really. Now, obviously if you have $500 (a map) and you loan that out, you're damn well going to want it all back at the end of the day, so credit is much more important. But as for the penny, it's trivial. It's much better for you to just suffer with the loss of your penny than take it out on other people (people who get involved in the flame war) to get your penny back.

But another point to be made:

When you get right down to it, there's really only two, large, well known mods out their for Renegade now, Ren Alert and Reborn. Countless hours of work have been put into each. Is it really worth trying to shut down and discredit the entire mod and team for the actions of one individual?

I haven't played Reborn, nor do I personally know any of the members on the team, but by saying "Reborn steals models" you're accusing the entire team of something that most of them are not guilty of, if even more than one member is.

"Ren Alert steals models" could be said because former member Madtone claimed someone else's models to be his own...I realized Madtone had the good character to confess, and I'm not questioning that, but it's a good example. No one is accusing the Ren Alert team of doing what just Madtone did, and no one should question the entire Reborn team for doing what just one or a few members did.
