Deleted3146134User Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 so a very popular mod author here just blocked me from accessing his content because apparently of a "feud." a user commented about if he had to disable the official hd dlc texture pack. i helped him by telling him no, you shouldn't since these textures are ba2's. the official pack is loaded first at the top, and the ba2's are loaded afterwards. but if you want to make sure, you can create dummy esp's to ensure the mod's texture packs are loaded after the official dlc hd texture pack.long story short, the mod author responded back yelling profanity and saying i didn't know anything and that you have to remove the official dlc pack because his textures replace the vanilla ones. i responded back saying that's not true. as long as your textures are loaded after the official dlc textures. as his mod pack didn't provide alternatives like body, face, weapons, etc. so removing the offical dlc pack removed a lot of updated textures you know? anyways he just up and banned me from accessing any of his pages. but what i don't get is that nexus told me apparently i cannot contact support about this. as someone who pays for premium, i find it kinda silly that an author can just flat-out ban anyone for any reason but as a premium subscriber i don't get any extra customer service help. what's the point in paying premium if you don't get extra customer service support for issues like above. look i understand its right, but when "feuds" like this happen and overall authors can just ban you willingly for any reason, its really silly that's all. i wouldn't care if i wasn't paying money.

showler Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 That's not one of the benefits of going Premium. Mod Authors have the ability to ban people and site administrators do not interfere. Contradicting a Mod Author about their own mod is generally not a great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarchinBunny Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Honestly, I would recommend just not making comments on mod pages unless you need help with something.Mod authors can't ban you without you having a comment on their modpage, so it protects you too from having something like this happen.Plus, you probably shouldn't provide support for someone else's mod, even if you feel you are being helpful, especially not on this site where Nexus doesn't really interfere with how authors decide to hand out bans.Last but not least ... when you buy premium ... does it not give you a list of benefits? It doesn't provide you a way around how things work here.Keep in mind, I don't agree with how Nexus does things in this regard and believe it's a huge reason why mod authors are looked down on so much these days, but that is how it works, and doubt it will change anytime soon.

You can certainly ask for support from the site moderators. I can even paraphrase their answer (which I believe is also in the site FAQ): Apologize to the mod author, promise not to do it again, ask to be allowed back onto the page. Otherwise, it's like you were told to stay out of someone's apartment and you're complaining to the Super to try to get them to override the tenants decision. Doesn't matter how much you pay in rent, that's not their decision to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully an actual staff member will help you out, but seeing as they're located in the UK, and other staffers are in Europe, it'll probably be sometime tomorrow morning when they see this thread.

showler Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I don't believe the mod author has the ability to block you from their comments since they are forum based. They'd have to ask a site moderator to do that, I think. They can only block you from their pages or PMs. There's a support email address in the "contact us" section. You could email a specific question to that address if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
