United States; Children with parental consent can have a credit card, a license to drive a motor vehicle, and anything else at any age that their parents will give them consent. There are still certain rules they must abide by. State laws and Federal ones in the U. S.. I'm aware that there are many different laws around the world.


That's not the really the issue though is it bben46?


NexusMods is being attacked. By many people, many ways, and even as a method to ruin it so other sites get more attention. Competition has it's battle wizards in businesses, even fans act as such, and it doesn't matter if the site is a free one or not. If it gets more attention than another there are people who will go to their aid to act as warriors to tear down one so the attention is focused toward their favorite site.


In my case I placed a pointer for readers here as to what may be one of the reasons.


You defend, the NexusMod site, quite reasonable too, by the way. :mellow:

Not hardly - Evey state has a law as to the age when you can get a drivers license. Typically between 16 and 18 - your parents absolutely cannot get you one any earlier. But they can keep you from getting a drivers license if you are under 18.

 

As for the credit card, It will be in your parents name. It may have your name on it, but legally it is their card and they are responsible for anything charged on it. Some banks will just refuse to do that unless the kid is in college. Most parents give the kid a prepaid card. And the kid will brag to his friends about how he has his own credit card (it's actually not a real credit card though) The banks recruit for credit cards on campus knowing that a lot of the kids are turning 18 and away from home for the first time and so, make for easy suckers for high rates and low limits.

 

There are a lot of LAWS, both federal and state that apply to underage people. The alcohol laws are one - no alcohol, not even beer may be sold to any one below the age of 21. And anyone caught buying it for them (including parents) can be sent to jail. The federal government forced that on the states some years ago. Prior to that where I live it was 18 for beer, and 21 for liquor. Which I consider much more reasonable. Even the cell phone companies can not sell a phone to anyone under 18, Their parents must buy it for them, and agree to be responsible for any bills.

I read the rules and regulations on this site. I read them because I wanted to know what I might need in case I set up my own website.

 

So I have been told, read, and watched, while my elders and siblings did their thing while I grew up, bben46.

Actually, the US Federal government didn't (and mostly doesn't) "force" the States to amend their laws, except through the power of the purse. Any State is free to set the age at which someone may legally purchase and/or consume alcohol at whatever the State decides. If, however, that age is less than 21 the Federal Department of Transportation will not allocate the State any Federal highway funds. (Not to mention the impact on auto insurance rates in that State!)

 

[see also: The several States that have not adopted the expanded Medicare program offered under the Federal Affordable Care Act. States actually have a lot of latitude to participate, or not, in many Federal programs. The costs of those decisions, both for and against, need to be weighed by each State's Legislature.]

 

Your (State's) choice! :smile:

Houston we have a problem

 

Vanilla Reduced Textures

 

22 Sep 14 I uploaded the current 8 Main Files

 

4 of which have been scanned

4 remain ?

 

 

22 Sep is not long ago, and with the size of the files it may be expected for them to be put on hold ( is that expected behaviour ? )

 

 

.. However, those same four files in the previous version of my mod NEVER received a scan prior to me uploading the new versions.

To clarify - Since this system was introduced, those four files have only ever had the question mark next to them, and have always been pending a scan.

 

Vanilla Reduced Textures 256 Legendary v23

Vanilla Reduced Textures 256 v23

Vanilla Reduced Textures 512 Legendary v23

Vanilla Reduced Textures 512 v23

 

All the rest of my files are scanned and proved clean ( again ).

 

VirusTotal won't take files above 256mb, I believe. We need to update the text on the virus roll-over to reflect that.

 

 

 

:D Thank you for the update to the warning tags on files, where a more appropriate message was needed for large files :

 

I just updated my files over the last day and just noticed the change has been done ...

I love you guys... and all the hard work that goes into making the mods that increase my enjoyment and enhance my experience with a game that I still love to play.

 

I have been reading some of the new posts and forums and greatly appreciate the work to ensure safety with the downloading. My only complaint is that I am not a designer, I am only a lay person who plays and pays to experience all of the amazing talent that is expressed here. When I first joined Nexus, most of the mods (almost all) were accessible through the mod manager and playing on my PC without a console it was very easy to install and experience all your amazing work. Since updating my driver however I am unable to get a lot of the basic mods I used to have. Such as Dragon Age Redesign, or Tucked Hair, or The Proposal... just to name a few.

 

I have tried installing the DAO modmanager to fix this and gain access, but it crashed my game and I had to repair and re-install everything. Not sure if this is something that was changed for a specific reason, but I would love to be able to utilize everything your site has to offer.

 

Respectfully and with great gratitude for all you designers do...

My mod from this link https://www.nexusmods.com/stateofdecay2/mods/278

 

is marked as Suspicious and was quarantined.

 

i went to VirusTotal and uploaded the file myself and it did show 3 of these unknown antivirus software marked it as a virus.

 

im using bitdefender and my other usual AVGs like Avast, Simantec, etc on VirusTotal deemed it clean

 

its just a file a created using Autoit and i can even provide an uncompiled version to the forum admin

 

im just wondering how is this a virus. my PC is clean.
