Should we post our mods on Nexus?

[Acrux]

I'll see if we can post it ourselves

Orin, very glad to see that you didn't give up.

and keep to tos.

Glad you understand now what I was trying to say. Glad that you listened - contacted moderator, took advised precautions, and are being very careful now, and mindful of TOS. I want you to succeed - because your mod removes modern politics from Baldur's Gate.

Where is this crowd ?

As expected, your mention is the top reddit post of the subreddit, of all times no less.

You guys are making this way too complicated. If they don't take Dignify down, i'll post No Alphabets lite on nexus.

Great to see you understand what I was trying to say, Loregamer, thank you. Indeed, "posting NA on Nexus is pretty much GG".


Orin, think about separate modules of rebranded "No Alphabets". It will be easier to manage and safer.
Name is for you to decide, but if talk modular structure, I'd suggest something like "No modern politics in Baldur's Gate" - with modules like in your Even Better Romance - "No modern politics - Companions", "No modern politics - Minor NPCs", "Male Aylin", etc. This way you will be in the brackets of TOS, and can talk over every module with the moderator before posting.











P.S., for a particular user. No need to read if you are not him.

Interesting arguments, imbecile. So it's a "****** online war" for you, interesting. And those who show support for the mod, and want it to succeed, are "random losers". Interesting. You understand what mod you are referencing, right? Let's see what mod author thinks:

[*]it will reach a bigger audience
[*]normies. whether they bother coming here or not, will know mods like this can and should be made for people who want to play that way.
I'm copying my mods to nexus, i'm not leaving HQ, or moddersHQ. I'm here for the niggerfaggot free speech and my friends and will stay for the niggerfaggot free speech and my friends.

So, @ThulsaDoomer, I must take an active "political spectrum" side to not be a "loser" in your imbecile sheep eyes. You are acting exactly the same as insane radicals on the left, screaming that you must take a side, and that you can't be outside of the political spectrum.
I can. The only reason I am here is that this mod removes modern politics from Baldur's Gate. It removes the "political spectrum".

You are emotional and weak. I am talking about Orin surviving in a hostile environment, with existing mod, where her chances of survival as is are 0.
It's not my war indeed (mod already exists), you are right, I am merely an advisor. I gave Orin the knowledge about what she can do.
"libertarian trying to get other people to fight your war"... cretin, you can't even comprehend the difference between giving knowledge (about new Nexus administration Orin clearly didn't know about, and new possibilities) and inciting (mod already exists, it is not mine to control, therefore I can only give knowledge to the author).
You are an emotional imbecile, who would be eliminated instantly in a hostile environment. On the other hand, Orin actually listened, contacted the moderator as I advised, locked comments, and survived, even after mass report raid.

If declaring basic objective truths is "radical" to you, you are likely the problem in this equation.

"basic objective truths" are "radical" to Nexus, cretin. Never said they are radical to me.

Times a changing. I'm gonna clarify with them what's allowed and what's not allowed. And probably post what's allowed.

Orin and Loregamer get it, you don't.

Tl;dr?

But just a heads up that I won't read that either.

[Magick]

Dude, you need to work on your social skills. The way you put things... its really off-putting to say the least.

i'll never agree with your "guerilla war" nonsense, but ty for the heads up in letting us know that posting was even possible.

Indeed. While not diplomatically worded, the information was correct, as per the results.
Surprising, considering Nexus' staff makeup being 75% the same. I can only imagine that they've seen that the ****** are NEVER happy, ALWAYS cunty, and overall NOT their customers at the end of the day. It's likely they just arrange in their groups, concern troll virtue signal / dramapost, then leave.
While Nexus likely only cares about the money (considering the previous "We're all about diversity" spiel & actions), I presume they see there's more money / rep in catering to actual gamers, not discord ******, and now choosing to no longer participate in cancel culture.
They're of course still hiding behind "has to abide by law of the land (which tbf, Rusty is doing the same and is expected), by not targeting protected characteristics" etc. Also while they're stretching that definition quite a lot, it's understandable as it's still early days. The situation & sentiment can easily be reversed too, so be careful.

Good to see things turning around. The more cancel culture is not abided by and actual customers / gamers are catered to and "wrongthink" ideas are allowed to even exist outside of places like this, the more we may see things turn around with general gaming. Nexus is still the largest modding site, after all.
Let's hope things start to change a bit with the games themselves, too. Maybe after seeing that such mods exist and seem to be very popular and allowed to exist in a common space, one can hope that change will happen.

At the end of the day, I just want to play good games and use good mods. Cheers @UsernameMustBeBetwee & modtroons. Good work.

No worries. This was the only reason I gave you more information about exact "guerilla" tactics - about contacting administration, locking comments, etc. - about what Body Type Selector author did. If this was "off-putting" - my apologies.
I will not comment here further.

There is a bit of irony here, that as much as people complain about Nexus, it's still seen as some kind of morale victory to have a mod allowed to exist on their platform. Seems like twisted logic. The idea that there's some special method to "safely" upload mods is also flawed. All it takes it one Moderator to interpret a mod as breaking their vague ToS - and now it's gone. And from personal experience, you're unlikely to get any sort of recourse. This applies to any mod - be it popular or on-site for months without issue. Again, all it takes is one activist reporting - and one accommodating Moderator. I guess maybe if some of those nauseating Youtubers find out and start flaming Nexus, online, you might get some recourse (see: Oblivion gender slider). But, being forced to self-censor some mods in order to keep others online, and then reviewing planned mod features with a fear of further reprisals, is a bitter pill to swallow. No, until Nexus publishes concise and non-political ToS, with a less subjective Moderation team, it's just not worth publishing mod there.

From Nexus' ToS #23:
"You must not upload, post, create on our site, share or cause any uploading, posting, creation or sharing, of any of the following:
- A grossly offensive, indecent, obscene or menacing message intending to cause offence, menace, distress or anxiety."

The phrase "intending to cause offense" is key here. Who decides offense? Any activist. Who decides intent? Any Moderator. And as I previously allude to, once something gets banned, Moderators will rarely, if ever, overturn the "ruling" of another Moderator (no recourse).

I still use the site to download mods, so I'm not without my own hypocrisy, but to upload there again? No, and until they change their moderation policy, I don't recommend any of you guys do either.

@orinEsque These poor sods are still downloading No Alphabets 5.2 in 2026, curiously enough uploaded by the site admin himself so that's cool. But I don't see Realms Restored there yet.
Do you want to upload RR there or let them know about the NA update?

I should let them know shouldn't I

I downloaded your 2 Nexus mods to support the metrics, as I downloaded them here on your website. On the Astarion's Pants Replacer mod, I gave a link to your Dignify mod in the comments. I wonder how people will react, because the pants are completely the same.

[rusty_shackleford]

orinEsque, я скачал 2 твоих мода для Nexus для поддержки метрик, так как скачал их здесь, на твоем сайте. По поводу мода Astarion's Pants replacer я дал в комментариях ссылку на ваш мод Dignify. Интересно, как отреагируют люди, ведь штаны совершенно одинаковые.

Keep it English please.

Honestly id rather see nexus crash and burn and a plethora of viable competitive sites to prevent the centralisation of mods so trying to play their game and thread the needle seems like giving in, but on the other hand saving an innocent from playing this game in its original globohomo state who would never have known about it otherwise is a virtuous action.

Well if modhq continuess to come along well, we'll have no reason to post elsewhere. The juiciest mods we have, No Alphabets and RR have no chance of being posted on nexus.

TBH, I think RR might have a shot if its phrased right. Obviously NA will get yote.

no, it's filled with reused assets, and the modtroons will have a chimp out about reusing assets.

Hmm.
Write a letter (Nexus PM) to a Community Manager who allowed Body Type Selector, https://www.nexusmods.com/profile/Pickysaurus, explain the situation, and ask him politely to delete and lock comments.
Crowd is only getting bigger, from what I see, therefore you are getting reported more and more.
For now, add Community Manager screenshot in the locked comment at the least, it is the only thing you can do now.
Add second Locked comment and clarify that you are the original author who posts for the first time on Nexus - this is very important, or you will get banned for multiple accounts.
Clarify that you can't lock comment section, or you would. And do not engage.
Your only way of winning is Guerilla warfare tactics.

Where is this crowd ?

In your comment section. And news spread fast. Nexus, Discord, Reddit.
It's enough to get reported once.

Yes.
Guerrilla warfare tactics is the only way to win.

I think you're misunderstanding this place's appeal. We like having our OWN space where we can be ourselves and post our mods. Platforming ourselves on the biggest modding platform is not some intrinsic win that MUST be achieved by any means. If this place had hordes of out of place newfags populate the mod section, I'd probably beg @rusty_shackleford to lock the forum. Platforming to as many people as possible sounds miserable

The experiment was testing the waters to see if Nexus moderation has become more lax. It hasn't. Or, at the very least, we'd need to jump through a bunch of hoops and grovel to keep our mods up. I don't see what's more to be achieved or why orin should even lift a finger further. If Dignify gets taken down in the state it's in, then we don't post our mods there

"experiment was testing the waters" - it is not an "experiment", nor it is "testing the waters" - waters (new administration) were tested by Body Type Selector (https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivionremastered/mods/353). And its author won, with Guerilla warfare tactics.

I gave only the information for potential survival of her mods outside of this radical forum.
I suggested to remove the radical talk, change the name to "No Real-life Politics in Baldur's Gate"/"in Faerûn"/"in Forgotten Realms", and do not engage with radical/politically charged comments from the opposing to her side, nor be the source of radical speech.
I am not on "your" side, nor I am on the "opposing" side. I only found this mod interesting for removing forced real-life politics from the Forgotten Realms.
What to do next with this mod - is orin's choice, I have no control over it whatsoever.

I will not engage further. Have a good day.

***** you sound like you smell your own farts

***** you sound like you smell your own farts

He has a point though. Problem is these kind of mods are seen politicaly charged and being hosted in a ****** saying forum helps that predisposition. Theoretically speaking an anarchist black woman who likes Tolkien could prefer a medieval fantasy game with no Blaxx, likewise a racist white person prefering a medieval Japan game with no white NPCs everywhere with no explanation. Depoliticizing these things and focusing on setting based immersion would be good.

As for gay stuff, people like Morrowind, FNV, DOS2, DAO here, it was only BG3 going full ****** with every companion being a ******, ******* gnomes going on about their husbands, butch lesbian Aylin, flying ***** elephant etc. derailed people to create a mod. So that can also be seen as a depoliticizing mod.

This is pretty much what i proposed, that modhq should have been a separate entity away from the niggerfaggottroon speak forum. But people will die on a cross for their right to say niggerfaggottroon. So thar didn't happen
