Dude relax, you do know IMO stands for "in my opinion" right? It does not stand for "I demand this now" and I am not even posting it in the MOD thread. I appreciate their hard work and they can do as they please.
For my own MOD I changed the version number so it would follow the game version numbering for less confusion.
In their case they have now something hybrid which I think would benefit from its own version numbering
But you are definitely right that even if they would change this, you will always have lazy people asking instead of reading.
I know. I also wrote my opinion. Just looked how many messages I have with the same answers.
I agree with your opinion. But I doubt that the matter is in the correct numbering or detailed description. If users do not follow the rules of the forum and will not read the previous posts it is useless to demand something from the authors. This is a two way road. The authors of the topic make a clear description, users read the description and do not ask recurring questions....
(Now the topic has a detailed description. All the user needs is to read it. If you do not read, then it does not matter what the numbering will be. they will ask why, for example, this is 0.5 and not 0.982)
