In response to post #31611625. Authentication can't solve the issue with files being ridden with malware and viruses. Just keeping passwords different is more than enough to deter issues with multiaccount theft. AFAIK they don't have the ability to prvent their files being infected with who knows what, and that is the actual problem.

K, so I can't log into the forums and I don't know why. Login goes smoothly but it says "Sign in", and I'm signed into nexusmods.com obviously. No idea what's going on there. There's no statement on whether or not all files are clean on the Nexus. Whether or not existing mods have been compromised. Whether or not the site is safe to use at all. That's a problem. I'm about ready to delete GBs of mod zips and rars, do a clean game install because of this issue alone, but I think I'm done using NMM and Nexusmods.com, likely indefinitely. Based on how the NMM software behaves, how it has been behaving, and how the "security firm" Nexusmods.com is paying $60,000 a year to keep the site safe let something go through is disconcerting. Virustotal is missing files as well, so that isn't even a legitimate way of saying "Hey guys, this mod is safe. No worries!" anymore. I doubt more money will be coming as this news is bad regardless of your outlook on the future, so the security level may stay the same and it's already been broken through once, meaning there *will* be a 'next time'. If funding slows down then the security slips a bit more. Suddenly the site is no longer usable the moment people say "No thanks, I'll pass." en masse, and it looks like people are already saying that. I'm not attempting to be a fearmongering hater. I like nexusmods and want to use mods. But based on how often I use this site and these mods, it's not worth it. I think I'm done and recommend others jump ship as well.. Purely because the site, without even considering any reduction of funding by users, is teetering on that edge of safe and unsafe. It's time to pack it up until the admins sort this s#*! out in a big way. Like I said, gigabytes of data on my PC from this site have to be removed because of this problem, and the liability of things going south again is even higher because of this news. This is likely the last time I use the site.

So... this is just FO4 support? Give me a heads up when it's a feature update. E: Seems it broke a lot of things, glad I clicked "cancel"...

I'd support it but I have a feeling it was very intentionally put that way. Anyone that knows basic english can pull the tone from the message. They are fully aware of what it looks like, and likely want it that way. I don't think the message should stay as it is currently but good luck trying to convince an admin that they're going about something the wrong way, let alone someone who is flexing in some silly text that's a warning about further punishment because your posts weren't enjoyed by a content provider. Nexus is intentionally being harsh. They won't change.

If they took account info, couldn't they just inflate endorsement and download #s..?
