But, in order to present that to other players it infests other addons, because you want other players to see it, while they don't care to. It's also a very exclusive little club, because the threads that allowed you to add a title of your choosing to it have long since closed up shop. So either you were a buddy of the guy who coded it in the first place, found the thread very early on, or you're out of luck.
Just a quick reminder that with the DLC "Horns of the Reach" most addons have been updated frequently and are now pretty stable.
So now might be a good time to check your addon folders and search for "*CustomTitles* and *Anny*. You can safely delete these folders and files and get rid of these un-documented functions.
Here is an updated list of the most popular addons that have un-documented functions like CustomTitles included:
SkyShard , LoreBooks, Destinations, InventoryGridView, AdvancedFilters, LootDrop, AwesomeGuildStore, AI Research Grid, Dustman, Dolgubon's Lazy Writ Crafter, FCO ItemSaver, pChat, ItemSaver, RaidNotifier, Inventory Insight, Daily Autoshare.
The authors of LUI Extended removed "LibCustomTitles" from their addon. Thanks!
Imo your fears are nothing than causeless but it's up to you what you post...
Users decide on their own if they use addons, or if they don't. And there are no "harming" addons out there that I'm aware of.
Basically users are also free to remove the libraries from the addons, if they dont like them.
"Ignorance" is not quite the correct term, especially since you have a custom title yourself in "LibCustomTitles" ...I'm free to have my own opinion about it and have not included such libraries into my add ons so far. Call it ignorance.
["@Baertram"] = { -- Dev / EU. v4 ov = true, en = "Ursa Major", fr = "Ursa Major", de = "Ursa Major", },
cd "$HOME/Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live/AddOns" find . -type d -name "LibCustomTitles" | while read f; do rm -vrf "$f" done find . -type d -name "LibAnnyoingUpdateNotificationInGame" | while read f; do rm -vrf "$f" done
....
Even a workaround was provided that you might want to check out:
Disable Custom Titles and
Disable Addon Reminders ....

It's easy to remove this library as it is shown as an extra "addon entry" inside your addon manager ingame since Clockwork city update.
While I agree that transparency should be elementary, neither you nor me are in any position to put demands on the authors. There are no official agreements, no contracts signed – we basically make use of their hobbies while not offering anything in return.
There's a general rule with mods, I think: If you want to know what's really going on, you need to open up those folders and check for yourself. Further, if you want a mod to fit your expectations to a T, you will also need to edit it yourself. You've been told how to make the necessary changes. I don't think there's any point in expecting more, unfortunately.
OP, thanks for bringing this to light.
Also, thanks to those in this thread that have posted how to remove addon maintainer epeens.

I never knew that stuff was in there. I normally wouldn't be bothered to check but after reading some of the add-on authors responses & responses of a few others, I immediately searched & deleted that stuff. What power trips these people are on. I will stop there though, because I'm thinking of a few other choice words that would probably get me in trouble of said out loud.
Pathetic.
Thanks again for this information!!

First of i am glad you are doing addons for the community and not yourself. Secondly i see you are not adding shady stuff into your addons. That is good.
When you are talking about the best addon authors have included these libs to their addons eg. LibCustomTitles and having Ayantir as the "keyholder" of new titles
Why do these authors did not create a stand alone addon for customt titles? Why are some of the authors not even mentioning the existance of these libs?
So you have one guy who made the lib, who decided who does get a title or not (and most authors who include these lib surprinsingly have a title - not goiung into details how (un-) fitting they are) and then these authors decide lets not do a new addon for this but to include to the existing addons.
So i ask you, what do you make of this and would you do it the same way?
