When i try to join a server, i would love to see a screen with all actives mod on the server, all my active mod, and be able to : load in my client the missing server mods (from steam-workshop as trusted source, or directly form the server with a security disclaimer) deactivate some extra client mod to please server rules. As a server administrator, i would love to be able to : expose to client all server active mods with there version number and integrity check/hash comparison be able to tag some mod as required or optional to play on my server be able to forbid any client mod not matching with the server's ones be able to use a white/black/grey list of client mod allowed on this server. (A white list with explicitly allowed mod (and there hash for integrity check. A black list of explicitly forbidden mod (with integrity check), and a default policies for unknown mods, that log there name, hash and ideally source in a server log file (with a notification in tchat for admins player) with this log, admin will be able to add unknown mod in white or black list after a look or a try). With this and server stored player, i think we could have awesome custom user experience on various servers.
