How do you close your NexusMods account?

How do you delete your NexusMods account?

[DrakeTheDragon]

You simply post a request inside here:

Though your title is more accurate than your question. Accounts are never deleted, only closed.

As far as the IP.Board forum framework is concerned account closure is the same as getting banned, but there's an entry inside the Closed Accounts topic, the moderation system keeps track of the ban being "by request", thus you can always get it unbanned "by request" (simply tell us in your appeal) again, and different to a regular ban your email address gets automatically freed up and can be used again when creating a new account immediately afterwards (usual way to go about name changes on this site, close the current one, create a new one with new name).

Another question: How do endorsements work and how do you disable and clear download history?

[DrakeTheDragon]

The one: "horrible",

the other: "As far as we know you can't."

 

Well, let's concentrate on the 'technical' aspects of the first one some more though, shall we?

 

When you downloaded a mod, a certain amount of time needs to pass. Then you will be able to endorse or unendorse the mod you downloaded, by clicking on the "endorse" button, which will then turn into "unendorse".

Of course unendorsing, being the action of taking back a previously given endorsement, can only be done, if you previously endorsed the mod already.

You can only ever give 1 endorsement to 1 mod, or take it away again. So there's no endorsement-"spamming" or other such abusive nonsense going on.

 

What an endorsement means, or what it is you're giving it for, is up to you to define. There is no general consensus, other than a silent alternative to saying thanks, maybe.
