Same! I thought the Terraria devs were pretty positive toward the modding community.

I don't see any indication that it's the games' developers that are doing this.

From the info I found, the consensus is it's a troll who found a way to abuse the Steam reporting. Apparently the list of games being hit by these takedowns is huge, like 25+ games.
