I understand it's your discord rule, but you are referring to an EULA esque agreement, and I'm not able to find what I as an end user is agreeing to, as referred to by your config. Where is that EULA supplied?

Check worldserver.conf.dist in Motd. There is written you can't remove the credits

Yes but you are referring to a license agreement there. Where is this license agreement. You have to supply any form of license agreement in an easy and obvious way, especially when you are going into muddy waters of legal liability.

I'm not arguing with you providing support for someone running an edited version of your software, that's entirely up to you as the maintainer. But as a heads up, you need to be careful with how you word yourself, especially when it comes to potential legal matters. I would definitely revise that text if I were you.

<@169121237539356673> I'm not a lawyer, we just work for free and would like to not have our credits removed. That's it. If you have any suggestions feel free to open a PR

That's exactly why I'm saying you need to be careful with how you word yourself if you refer to a license like you do in the world config then that's fine, but you need to provide the end users with a license agreement in addition to GPL as you are released under. If not it would seem like you are referring to the GPL, which you can't use to enforce certain parts of the code being off limits. I'm not a lawyer either, so I don't think it's appropriate to give you any form of legal text to refer to, so I'm not going to open a PR to change it.
I'd check with a lawyer though if you want to provide an EULA with your product, if not I'd remove anything referring to a non-existent license and legal liability. Stating that you will not provide support if said credits are removed is perfectly fine, that's up to your discretion.
