Something to keep in mind if you rip using a Mac! - LukeWarnut - 02-27-2019
Hey!
So, macOS does this dumb thing when it creates zip archives using Finder. It creates a hidden folder called "__MACOSX" in the archive. This folder is invisible to Mac users, but Windows users can see it just fine.
It's annoying.
This link here has a fix for it. I recommend editing any submissions you to remove this folder.
Thanks!

There's also the dreaded .DS_store files which are visible to non-macs users.

That will permanently stop them from spawning.

You can also use YemuZip to make zip files that don't contain any DS_Store files

Hmm, I see. I’ll keep this in mind in future.
