 ## Will people know I'm using mods?
 
 - By default, NeosModLoader does not do anything identifiable over the network. You will appear to be running the vanilla Neos version to any component that shows your version strings or compatibility hash.
-- It is still [technically possible](https://github.com/neos-modding-group/NeosModLoader/issues/64) for a user to determine if you are running NeosModLoader or a specific mod, although this requires a specific LogiX setup.
 - If you are running other plugins, they will alter your version strings and compatibility hash.
 - NeosModLoader logs to the same log file Neos uses. If you send your logs to anyone it will be obvious that you are using a plugin. This is intended.
 - NeosModLoader mods may have effects visible to other users, depending on the mod.
