When I learned of the changes regarding mod deletions, I submitted a request to have all of my uploads deleted on August 3rd, which I confirmed the next day. However, it later came to my attention that not all of my uploads were deleted, in particular, a pair of uploads I'd sent to the Caretaker went untouched. The mods in question were unofficial ports of Enai Siaion's "More Apocalypse - An Extension for Apocalypse - Magic of Skyrim" and "Wintermyst - Enchantments of Skyrim", which had been abandoned by Enai, and which I felt some people might still be interested in, but I later sent them to the Caretaker after finding out some things about Enai that I won't elaborate on here, but nevertheless, made me not want to be associated with him anymore. Then the whole archive thing happened, and I had my uploads deleted, but these two were missed. When I submitted that request to have all of my uploads deleted, I meant ALL of them, including these two. Yes, I know that they aren't my mods, technically, but I am the one who uploaded these specific versions of them, so they fall under my original deletion request, so I demand that you finish honoring my original request, and delete these two uploads. If Enai wants them back up, it will have to be fresh ports by somebody else.

I see your point of view, that's one way to think about it! Now imagine if Dark0ne makes an announcement in a few months where Nexusmods officially state that 'mod collections' are to be referred to as 'cathedrals' :ohmy: :laugh: Please don't give them any more ideas.

I'm not sure linking that article is a very good idea. It is incredibly biased towards Cathedral and openly belittles Parlor.

I'm mostly just sitting back and munching on popcorn at this point.

Fallback, thy name is ad hominem.

My mods can now be found on AFK Mods. I have not reuploaded any LE <-> SE ports though, as many of them say they can't be uploaded elsewhere. Those will just be gone.

In all honesty, I get the impression that they never planned to give us the out they are giving until people started raising a fuss about the missing delete button, which only happened because a modder who's name I can't remember accidentally uploaded the wrong mod to a page he'd just published, messaged the staff to have it removed upon realizing the button was missing, and was denied, despite having a valid reason to have the file deleted. The possibility that this situation could've been much worse genuinely frightens me.

This. Exactly this.

Kind of hard not to co-opt this thread when every time we try to start a thread to vent and get comfort, the mods shut it down and redirect us to this one. Actually, I guess this means that it was the mods who co-opted this thread rather than the disgruntled authors.

Hmm, well sadly ... I have not seen that happen. Not saying it hasn't btw. Just I would have to see it for myself. Cause I know a lot of people who spread misinformation but act like it's just asking questions. Even questions can be presented in a manner to insinuate things that are not true. https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/10304418-ac3s-banned/ Doesn't really tell me anything. All that link shows me is the staff felt that person was causing drama and throwing around misinformation. I can't confirm or deny it since I have no point of reference on what actually occurred. The reference post is off limits to me, cause I assume it's in the mod author section. But even if I did have access to it, it's not as if I can make a determination off of one post since the ban pretty much talks about multiple posts and issues. You just convinced me and pretty much everyone else here that you will never see the truth, simply because you do not want to see the truth. You're blocked. Funny thing is, if you look back at ac3s's posts, he was very clearly the victim, and yet they punished him rather than the people egging him on.

To be perfectly honest, yes. That's exactly how I feel things are being run now. Spite for the mod authors who provide the content. Their behavior hasn't given me any reason to think otherwise either. That's how I feel too: as though they're intentionally conducting this poorly because they're angry at us for daring to point out the holes in their plans.

I'm beginning to think that the presence of excrement coinciding with your presence is not a coincidence. I know, I make a simple set of observations and the flood gates opened. Do you have a shut off valve? Or will you continue to spew forth? I'd recommend ignoring him, as from what I've seen of him, he is deadset on having the last word.

Adding on to that, what about collections involving mods that are dependent on tools and frameworks that can't be auto-installed? Such as armor refits that need to be batch-built by BodySlide, mods that add new animations (which are dependent on either FNIS/Nemesis or DAR), any mod that is dependent on a script extender, any ENB preset, or any mod that requires the use of an xEdit or zEdit script.

I don't think it matters if they send a notice. All that says is if the TOS states that it can be changed whenever, it can't be enforced.

Yes, and much of it is illegal. Posting something to the internet does not relinquish one's rights in the IP of that material. They get by with it because most people don't have the time, money, or bandwidth to chase it down and assert their rights in said material. I sometimes see entire articles taken from publishers with paywalls replicated in forums. That some people will copy such material does not make it legal. ETA: And frankly, even where no paywall is involved, copying rather than linking to the original deprives the original host site of the traffic. Yep, just because someone does a thing doesn't make it a legal thing to do. That archive.org does this doesn't make it legal. It's not even morally justifiable. Wholesale republication of someone's work without their permission is a copyright violation, pure and simple. It's frankly sickening to me that such a company is allowed to get away with this, and that they feel entitled to do it over the objections of the rights holders. But I'd wager it's why Nexus thinks they're above the law too. "Look, they're doing it, I guess we can too." Even more sickening that you have to pursue a DMCA takedown to get the unauthorized republications taken down from archive.org. IIRC, the reason that Archive.org is able to do what it's doing is because they're officially recognized by the IRS as a non-profit, so they have grounds to claim that it's fair use. Don't quote me on that, because I'm not 100% sure. I just know that there's a loophole that lets them do what they're doing.
