In response to post #23719354. Thanks for the reply.

In response to post #23679764. First thanks for the information on the donate button. I didn't even know we had that option. Second I didn't really mean specifically donation like that. The best way to explain what I mean is to use an example with pateon and YouTube so bare with me. A YouTube video might have a link to a PayPal account if you want to donate to that YouTuber. But a lot of YouTubers didn't see that much money from this type of exchange. And that is with them advertising their PayPal account in their videos. With the rise of Kickstarter and Indiegogo more people have been trying to get funded through them but with no real force behind the creator making what they claimed they would in the time frame they said they would. AKA Aneta Sarkesean and her videos. Patreon comes around and gives payment methods of per month or per project with the ability to stop endorsement at any time. With this option some YouTubers have seen a rise in financial supporters. I am not saying that this is the responsibility of Nexus or any one person to uphold but I do believe the Community would be better if they embraced it. I just don't think it is going to be a good idea to force the community in to something like this by a third party like Steam. It should happen organically from the community. It would be evidence that we are ready to grow in that way. Or maybe I am wrong. Like I said I am too close to the subject of Pareon to see it subjectively.

I just wanted to ask everybody (that is reading this) what they would think about supporting moders if the system being proposed wasn't going in to effect but one that allowed for moders to use something like Patreon? Mainly monetary participation would be optional and legally acceptable benefits would be awarded but the mod would be openly released to everybody Steam, Nexus, extra... upon completion. I personally think that would be good. But I might be too close to this idea to see it rationally. I have a Pateon account for making Minecraft Maps (I won't link it in here). And I am trying to make it work. Not to get rich but to help pay some bills. And that is why I think it would be better if the community created its own system like this rather than being forced in to a contract by a company with the worst ranking by the Better Business Burrow. Valve has an F http://www.bbb.org/alaskaoregonwesternwashington/business-reviews/computer-software-publishers-and-developers/valve-corporation-in-bellevue-wa-27030704 And like a man once said "If you are good at something, never do it for free." If you are a good modder you deserve some compensation for your effort and if you are a bad modder money is a great motivator to become better.
