    It's great to see so many people making automation ports, but it's a bit frustrating when everything is buried under their threads. Would it be possible to have a "Forum mute" option to allow you to have certain forums not display in "what's new"?

    Also, in the last 20 minutes, 34 new automation port threads gave been made, with some users posting 5 or more. I'd like to suggest a rule that each user can only post one thread for all their cars .

    Wait few days, it will normalize after new car scent wears off.

    I'm bringing this up, because as of now, only two non-automation car threads are on the front page. Also, the amount of the threads seems excessive. Might I suggest a rule of one thread per person?

    What I have seen is those threads often are mods put to repo, kind of threads.

    I was excepting there being need to combine vehicles to packs, but as most seem to make push to repo with each vehicle they make, that contributes to clutter quite quickly.

    One thread per user would be good rule, also at least for just exported, not modified vehicles, some kind of maximum number of brands to publish your exports would be nice.

    Problem probably is with available means in software to have place to hold this data per user.

    New mods won't create threads anymore

    All mods or just Automation exports? I'm pretty sure regular mods still need a discussion thread...

    It appears to be just automation ports.

    I think making threads for new mods should at least be kept as an option.

    i do agree that i dont want to go to the general mods page and see so many automation releases.

    Nothing against it, but its like the dupes from Gmod in the workshop. You go seek some mod and all you see is super basic dupes hogging everything being lower quality too.

    Just Automation stuff.

    Due the large amount of mods, it's better not :)
