NexusMods BANS Modder over TWITTER BIO!

This dude was breaking ToS by funneling his Nexus subscribers to his paid-mod site(s), through his twitter account. I've seen it where modders release a mod on Nexus, then advertise different versions of those mods (on twitter) locked behind a subscription or fee-based paywall. I get that (some) modders want to get paid for their time, but **** that - as soon as you start taking money from people, the consumer mentality kicks in and subscribers feel entitled to a lot more than your mod. Even worse, they might turn into para-social parasites.

I don't like it morally but I don't see any reason modders shouldn't be allowed to make money off of their mods if they choose to. If people want to pay for content they think is worth it, so be it. No matter what, it's all just extra to a game.

developers/publishers really dislike when people charge for mods and nexusmods doesn't want to even be tangentially associated with it

**** payment, mods must be free, I've had enough of so many entitled ***** putting price tags and hiding content behind paywall, and it's not even DLC sized. or users posting some cool looking armor or weapons and you discover "ummmm is a pRiVaTe mod i cOmMiSsiONeD, so **** you <3" comment. worse than that, many of said mods get deleted without a trace or explanation, or get deleted because mod author got into a fight with (insert some ****'s name here), so **** that

It's good for them to be deleted forever

We all have eyes, so do they.

"So stunning and brave!"
translation: must take a lot of courage to walk out of your house looking that ugly.

"Hon" has been for many years a vicious ***** insult for a hideous obvious man-in-a-dress, because those types would post disgusting selfies on reddit or tumblr with their stubble and Norwood and the hivemind/bots would reply with some North Korea-tier propaganda like "You look so much healthier and happier now that you're true to yourself, honey".

It's fine to make a tip-jar, but putting mods behind paywall is gay.

[DrSneed]

enslave modders

[Sinfield]

enslave modders

Nothing to do with enslaving modders its just that if you start using mods you'll realize that a lot aren't very good and even when they're good you can run into incompatibilities or just not liking certain mods, so you're installing and uninstalling 90%+ of mods. Now imagine that but you have to pay for said mods.

When i make a passion project... like NA for example... charging people for it takes the fun out of it.

But if someone wanted me to make them a waifu customised to their taste. I would charge def charge them.

I used to browse the Dragon Age Origins media section and choose the most intricately cringeworthy pieces to shock anons on /v/ with.
It's incredible how much abject ugliness there is that people post proudly, completely convinced that they're sharing something beautiful.

[logincrash]

Also, decided to take a loot at the aforementioned media section for good old times' sake.

hate nexus simple as.jpg

******, don't give me the toggle to disable it if it's mandatory.

Looks like EBR managed to be featured on motm. Someplace somewhere a ****** is complaining about a white male supremacist paying nexus to put him on motm.

Or more likely, want their cut. The journo (they're all the same) likely hasn't researched it properly.
From what I can tell, Nexus doesn't like modders soliciting paid work ON nexus, so they ban it via their ToS (fair enough).
So of course they'd also ban anyone just linking to a twitter (from Nexus) which then solicits paid work, as otherwise it would be too easy of a workaround lol.

But IF they banned for something that wasn't linked or mentioned on Nexus at all, then that would be BS. But I don't think that happened there.


As to payment for mods, it depends. If the work is done at the MODDER'S initiative, then they shouldn't be charging money, if they decide to share it. Else just keep it to themselves. General mods shouldn't be paywalled.
But if some guy is wanting some catgirl waifu or a specific armor / customised look JUST for himself, then I can't see anything wrong with the modder asking for a commission payment there, since I can't imagine they'd want to use a ton of their time for something that is being demanded by, and will only be used by that 1 person, and they wouldn't even be doing it, otherwise.

When it comes to modding on commission, you have to ask: what is a modders time worth? I'm in the US, there's just no ******* way I'd spend 12 hours in blender, skald, and/or xml files, making edits (and testing for bugs), for less that $100. Except, that's an insane asking price for a mod. The only way it works is if you sell a mod, or a mod subscription, to 20 people for $5 each. The math can't math. As soon as modding becomes more like work, again, you need to ask yourself: how much is your time worth? And too, know that buyers are going to have the expectation of satisfaction, which can easily mean extra work revisiting or refining the mod. So, as I said before: '**** that.'

Maybe it works like gold farmers in mmos? A couple usd is a lot of money when converted to banana currency.

Doesn't the Nexus mentally ill ******* ban for iNtEnTiOnS? Like, those morons were acting like thought police, not just banning for "wrong" motives, but actually deciding for the mod author what those motives were without even asking.

They'll only take it down if the mod breaks their ToS, or if a link you posted has content or more links that break their ToS.... For now.

That's good. Because it used to be: 'Since we "know better" what you actually meant, and it doesn't align with our made-up rules, which are governed by unstated criteria existing only in our own heads, we can do whatever we want and ban you on a total whim while hiding behind woke buzzwords".

It was a deeply unprofessional power-tripping and reddit like circus.

This is why you only mod for the love of the game (modding in this case, not an actual game).

It's a hobby, not a job.

The only reason I can fathom is that taking that attitude and (attempting to) appeasing ********, didn't work out profitable.

If I ran a website, that's how I'd moderate. I wouldn't couch it in fluffy nuspeak, though. I'd just ban people because I didn't like them. I'd moderate based on "vibe", as you kids put it.
