My mod gets denied by Modrinth for unnecessary including libraries, I don't think any of the dependencies are wrong, am I missing something?

#Dependency Issues?

I'd be asking the modrinth people
compact sleet
they pointed me here
Who specifically?
If they're rejecting it they ought to know on what basis
ebon smelt
Just some guy in the support channels
compact sleet
So not someone related to the review
ebon smelt
No, but they're not responding in the review
they just repeated the same rejection message
compact sleet
What exactly is the message?
ebon smelt
compact sleet
What are the licenses of ormlite-jdbc and sqlite-jdbc?
compact sleet
Yeah I see no issues here
Unless somehow you don't need the full lib and there's a way to only include the part that you need
ebon smelt
The only way to achieve that is to manually modify the lib, at that point it's easier to just rewrite to using another library

aight well I've found a current example of another mod doing the same thing that's been approved by modrinth so it sounds like you need to annoy them about it until they give you an actual reason
-# if you can't get them to talk to you, you could try submitting a nonfunctional jar without the deps and then replacing it once approved
oh wait lol

That sounds like a good way to get banned.
compact sleet
That sounds like a good way to get banned.
no, it doesn't
toxic thicket
Wouldn’t it be moderation evasion?
compact sleet
you didn't read up 3 messages. they've approved projects like this in the past
toxic thicket
I did read those messages. That doesn’t change the fact that they apparently don’t approve of the project in its current state, and attempts to work around that would be evading moderation. I fully agree with annoying them until they give an actual reason, but trying to sneak past them sounds like a bad idea.

@ebon smelt in case you missed it, it's been approved
compact sleet
I did read those messages. That doesn’t change the fact that they apparently don...
you're entitled to your own opinion, thanks for sharing

Found their direct contact support, it's hidden behind their chatbot apparently
compact sleet
ah, nice. did they say anything or just revise their previous decision?
ebon smelt
Issue was an old version that I deleted but they somehow still checked
I previously used shadow instead of loom for dependencies which made it very big, but I fixed that issue... so that's why I was confused
compact sleet
right, ok
