Now they're posting spam in the comment section instead (I reported it). There are currently two spam posts there.
Edit: It's gone now. There will likely be more of it later though.
@DahniDahni and @ShenLuse
'Discussions' are the Forum tab on your mod. 'Comment Topic' is the Posts tab.
You can enable or disable the Forum and Posts tabs if you go to the 'Permissions' of your mod and look under 'Commenting and discussion'. There are 4 options there:
A single comment topic and no discussion tab - This enables only the Posts tab.
A single comment topic and a discussion tab - This enables both the Posts and Forum tabs.
Just a discussion tab - This enables only the Forum tab.
No comments - This disables both tabs.
Just wanted to let you know that the spam is back. There are currently 17 pages of it.
I did report one of the spam posts. I mentioned in my report that there is "a lot more of it", but it looks like the moderator only deleted the one post that I reported and then closed the report.
Edit: Looks like it is all gone now, thanks. Let's hope those spammers won't return.
Dunno if it is related, but, for some reason, I can now see a 'Lock this thread' button in the comment sections on mods that were not made by me. Clicking on it will just show an error message that says 'Only mod authors can lock and unlock topics'.
So they could still just lock the post tab/thread instead? So these changes only prevents them from disabling the tab entirely. I thought it would also prevent them from locking it.
Maybe you previously had mods installed that makes changes to vanilla menus (such as Unlocked Settlement Objects (USO) or Workshop Rearranged).
If you know of any other mods that need an SMM patch, let me know. Maybe I could make one and add it to my Settlement Menu Manager Patches (SMM) mod.
If someone comments on these mods to warn others, couldn't the one who uploaded the mod still just immediately remove the comment and ban/block the commenter instead?
I have 5 mods (one is currently hidden because I'm making some changes to it). My 240 SMM patches is a patch hub mod, not a mod collection (it had 3 patches when I first uploaded it in 2023). I have updated my 5 mods 62 times and added more to them after I first uploaded them. I'm getting less now than I did before.
Also, I didn't say you were abusing the system.
