Well, the way they have their post worded, they're saying players may not know they're running with mods unless they're set up specifically to say so, which means it's very possible, and easy to hide the download.

I understand the concern... but I think this still goes to "know who you're playing with." Joining a random server has inherent risks even beyond theoretical mod dependencies (abusive behavior, phishing, using another way to spead viruses, etc.) which, while potentially easier to extricate oneself from are still a possible issue.

I do think a "warning, this is a modded server" even without a list of files, would be appropriate, but not necessarily on Irongate to do. In theory, such a "warning" could also be modded out/hidden as well on the server, though it'd take effort.
