I don't think they will make an exception for u
#Protectcord - Minecraft Plugin (anti vpn/proxy) - Awaiting review
dreamy kite
it will be reviewed when it is please be patient
quartz widget
And the review process is clogged like a not working toilet. But it works
distant current
What's the exception? plugins a plugin. modpacks are a modpack. is there reviewers per category?
quartz widget
I think the delay now is a couple of days

From my understanding, you were asking about the time to review and maybe Hinting at faster review

Uhhh that's a hard question. There's always a delay
The delay on holidays was like a week

That wasn't a mutual understanding, I was simply asking if the plugin is small and is simple in concept. it wouldn't take too long to review compared to modpacks with 180 mods.
quartz widget
Not it's day to 2 days
distant current
I should of made myself clearer. The plugin itself is small, it won't take long to review. will modpacks with 180 mods or whoever was in front of me in the queue get priority? even if the modpack is huge and plugins are smaller and easier to review?
again, protectcord is only a plugin.
quartz widget
Honestly I think modpacks are easier, cuz they need to review only the mods that weren't on Modrinth
If it's on modritnh and has a link to modrinth it's safe
distant current
1 jar file which is a plugin compared to 100's of mods that could potentially not be listed on modrinth? surely plugins are easier.

That's exactly the answer I was looking for. Thank you.
Is there a certain list that combines all entries or is it categorized into plugins, modpacks, mods etc. or do they need to review the list as it comes through?
pallid wraith
Ohhh I get what you are asking
You are wondering if there are several queues. Like one specifically for Plugins, One specifically for Modpacks, Mods, Etc...
Or if there is just one global queue that everything goes under.
Right?
distant current
Yeah, thats it
pallid wraith
I cannot answer that for you as I am not sure. But there is the question
distant current
I just went on the modrinth page, it clearly shows MULTIPLE plugins that were published 4 hours ago, get submitted to the page. so are they really that strict on following their process queue.
dreamy kite
Plugins etc are accepted on how long ago they were submit and how big the plugin is
just be patient bro
distant current
patience isn't my speciality when its incredibly easy to check plugins.
Decompile, check for bad stuff, check all the data, see if the descriptions add up, check if the plugin is leaked or not. check if the author is legit or not by doing a tiny bit of background checking.
distant current
just be patient bro
idk how they check stuff here man but it takes ages.

That's easy, but not when there's 100 projects per day
Even 1h per project and you can easily calculate that the time exceeds one day

I might be able to offer some assistance. I have a few people that could help. Including myself. If it's volunteering and can do it whenever then I'll be able to do it.

Modrinth isn't hiring as of right now https://modrinth.notion.site/Join-Modrinth-let-s-redefine-modding-for-games-2f8e1ebb423a456980d25e24f2747a96
While it's not a given, a new content moderator would probably be a paid contracted position, but I am not a team member to say that with any confidence

Well, I don't want to self promote anything but I have a lot of experience with minecraft, I'm 26 yes im old. I work remote so I have plenty of down time to get on with things like this.

While I, and the team, would appreciate the sentiment, I ask you to be patient
Your project isn't special and all of them are reviewed in order

😢 special to me.. but anyways I shall be patient

Could you shine some light on how things are reviewed? are mods and plugins combined into the review list or are they separate with certain people only reviewing plugins and others only reviewing mods?

In broad strokes the review process consists of 2 parts: automated checks and manual checks. There's software that checks for malicious code and malware, as well as for copyright infringement
After that a person manually takes a look at you project page and uploaded files to make sure they don't violate the content rules
Like No cheating, rules about forking, etc
distant current
All our plugin does is communicate with an IP checker that our discord bot uses, and looks for an onjoin event to check ips and then if they are using a vpn or proxy it denies entry into the server. not exactly rocket science. but it's our own api.
sage bay
The projects are reviewed in order that they're submitted to the queue, and no projects can be left out
distant current
surely something automated could review it?
sage bay
Moderators don't always check for the insides of your mod
They check if it follows the rules
They look inside if it's suspicious, not always
Their goal is for all projects to pass a baseline of quality/effort and to sift through reuploads, malware and cheats
What could be hard to check or raise suspicions I cannot say for sure
distant current
so lets say i just put in all of that work into making the plugin look good on your website, if for whatever reason it fails the review process is it completely deleted from the website? or do i need to just correct what it fails on?

nope, you would receive a message on the project page that it was declined by the moderation and be given a reason why
It doesn't get deleted or taken down unless something is super wrong
You can correct and improve the project and resubmit it
The changes you make while it's in the queue don't affect your position in it, but if it was declined and you resubmitted - it goes to the back
If you are really interested in review times stats I've made an approximation tool here https://falseresync.github.io/modrinth-moderation-delay-monitor/
Currently it's most likely that your plugin will be reviewed within 3+ days
Don't take that as a promise though, this is an approximator based on statistics, not a predictor
sage bay
As you can see in the description, it's the highest time it might have to wait
99% of the projects are reviewed in less time
