More Specific File Not Found Error Messages

[H00V3RD8M]

Hi, community. Sometimes files are removed from the Nexus sites, whether the mod author has deleted it themselves, or a staff member had moved the file to the wastebin because it was stolen content, wrong use of the file database, inappropriate content, etc, we always get the same generic File Not Found message when we view a file entry that no longer exists in the database.

 

To better clarify the reasons for removing the file, we could have more specific error messages for why the file wasn't found.

 

Ex. 1: (Removal by Staff)

 

This file was removed from the database by a moderator because it was found to have violated the Terms of Service.

 

Please look at the deletion log for more information for why the file was removed.

 

{File name} moved to the wastebin at {Time} by {name of staff member}

Reason: {Reason for file removal}

Author: {Author name}

 

Ex. 2 (Removal by Author)

 

The file you requested was not found because it was deleted by the author.

 

Please look at the deletion log for more information why the file was removed.

 

{File Name} deleted by {Author name} at {Time}

Reason: {Reason for file removal}

 

These examples could give us a good idea what if the File not Found messages told us why the file we requested was not found.

 

Moderators, and authors, if they wish, could state why the removed a file from the database. Leaving a deletion log for a removed file could better explain why our favorite mod was deleted.
