You don't like the VPIN forums, don't agree with the rules, don't get along with the moderators, then why post there? Why not find a site *or start one* where you can upload tables and either use this message forum or another one to post your releases? There are many sites that support emulation and noone's holding you back from starting your own or working with another site...

People who want your tables will go to the site and look for updates, noone will stop you from pursuing such a course of action.

The only thing I could see is people who don't want the tables their working on modded will lock the heck out of them in order to keep them from being modded, but I'm not sure how many people would do this...

For better or worse the folks at VPinforums have the right to do as they wish with their site as Atila and moderators here hsve the right to do what they want here like any other site.

As long as you choose to ignore the wishes of those in charge at VPForums *this isn't an issue of right or wrong it's about accepting that VPForum has it's ideology and you have yours* this is what'll happen, but you do have alternate ways of dealing with it...
