Do elaborate.
The community is awesome, and the responce to the mod has been much more positive and and overwhelming than I ever imagined. I gets tons of good feedback, but occasionally (1-2 times a month) I'll get a nastygram from someone.
Its not a big deal, just a consequence of the mod being somewhat popular. It usually has to do with some percieved broken feature that we havent fixed yet. But sometimes its a hate mail about the more graphic aspects of the mod. Usually pictures that they believe are to scary for kids. Oddly I have never gotten a complaint about all of the stories about demon worship, murder and rape that are in the pedia. I guess these folks don't like to read.
But its not a big deal. I ignore them, and as I said the community has been overwhelmingly patient, friendly and helpful. There is just always a few bad eggs in any group this large.
And I dont even mind the complaints if they are nicely worded. One guy a little while back plays civ while his young child sits and watches. He mentioned that the hyborem picture was to scary for the child and asked if there was anything he could do about it. Requests like that are fine, and Im more than willing to tell them how to switch dds files to make the kind of changes they want.
But when the insults and the rows of explamation points start I just chuckle at it and go on.
Incidently I dont want to include nudity or cuss words because I feel thats a fair line to keep and I don't want to make any trouble for firaxis or keep magazines from reviewing the mod for its content (I know about the contradictions of keeping bad words out but allowing demon imagery and rape stories).
The request to make the Svartalfar less chesty doesn't fall into this. Chain mail bikini's are a pet peeve of mine and I dont mind having the Svartalfar units be sexy, but their armor should be somewhat realistic as well.
