The file has been copied, yes, for the rest, what can I tell you?

How about you did not create it nor was given permission to post it as your own.

Where might the original be found? The README is completely and totally incorrect. It shouldn't even be in the download.

Salut
As said above, this file has been copied from another extension.
The error is that the wrong file has been slipped into the .zip, I will modify it

The original one is from Martin: https://www.martins-phpbb.com

He moved his page right now but you can also contact him on DMZX's board as they do a lot stuff together: https://www.dmzx-web.net/

both can prove who is the original creator.

I doubt very much if anything will be done about this. There's no way for the validation team to know who made what outside of phpBB. It's still a bit backhanded though by the author. I also highly doubt if the extension will be removed from here.

I have informed the original author i was asked to pass on this link https://www.martins-phpbb.com/

Well, It will be difficult for you to say that this extension is of your own realization, because by forgetting the file that only the author and at the time had made to know to know stoker, it smells rather the tree for you, but good by also having 2 / 3 nicknames it resembles or tries not to be recognized.

Etant français moi aussi, je trouve dommage que tu salisse une nation dans le monde virtuel, de surcroît, martin te donné des conseils via MP sur son forum et tu demandés également de l'aide sur le site de DMZX et là en faisant cela, c'est honteux pour rester poli.

Bonne continuation, à l'avenir soit plu prudent en faisant tes archives d'extensions ne t'appartenant pas.

It was a edit of stokers put into ext form by Martin back in 2016 and posted on a site for all to have.
