I don't think so this kind of peoples will always figure out even with this new algorythm. You can just spam mods in different games to reach more different users... The only real solution is to cap mod income and define better what is "high engagement mod", there's ton of minor mods that not take same amount of time (graphical, sound UI mods, adult mods) like i said modding should not be a job and should not allow thousands of dollars monthly income. Maybe they should make an algorythm to detect suspicious mod author behavior instead of sanctionning everyone and there's literally nothing more fair in this system. I think this system suits you well cause with your 3 mods on Fallout 4 and one collection (dos this count as a mod?)... i'm pretty sure that took you 100X less time than my 50 castles. I certainly not the person who abuse.

I get it, they swifted from unique donwloads to unique users... They not value new content and work but new users you bring... I'm sure some peoples could still spam their abusive mods even with this system. M&B Warband is a niche (especially the scenes) and indeed that will still be the same 100-200 peoples who download scene and know how to install it. My scenes can also be used by other modders for their total conversion mods and i didn't ask any donation point for this. Nexus teams are probably very proud of their system but its simply so bad and irrespect. Also M&B Warband is maybe old but is still quite popular game having still in the 5000 players daily on Steam. This is not my problem to bring new users to this website, i make mods i like on game i like. Thanks for the insights.

It is pretty crystal clear to me: there's no bug and my mods are not high engagement mods. Maybe they want to clean some space on their servers and remove mods that don't make a lot downloads.

Don't worry i have lot of time, i just wanted to try to bring them to reason with no much hopes indeed. I'm sure many modders will be badly and unfairly impacted far worse than me. I'll just remove my mods and put them on other mod website that doesn't pretend things and i'll get over with it and wish happy life to modders who make "high engagement mods" for whatever it means. I guess that some UI mods, graphical mods, sounds mods or adult mods that have thousand donwloads still got a lot DP because they are donwloaded a lot on popular games... But a scene in M&B Warband that take between 10 hours and 50 hours to make (sometimes more) is not a high engagement mod lol... Ironically enough the only mod that got me some donation point last month is a submod for a mod on Fallout New Vegas that took me 1 hour to make. Despite the money thing this sytem is very bad because it doesn't even let you know the real number of downloads you get just to know if your mods have some success...

Sorry to be honest but your new system/algorythm is completely stupid, so you give even more donation points to mod that download more? (i mean you count their downloads and my downloads count for zero because of whatever you think). Or maybe you consider M&B Warband scenes are "has been"? I was "abusing the system" probably, i win 10 $ in 4 years, i guess you not realize how much time it is to make a scene in Warband. If only full conversion mods or 3D assets or coding/features mods are consider by you as mods you will crush 90% of modders. I would prefer that you give nothing instead of pretending to want to give reward more fairly. More fairly for you means to give more to big mods on popular games obviously. I also noticed since few days that my mods get donwloads but it is no more reported in the global number under profile name. I will just remove my mods and get away from this BS. If you want stop abusers you should just manually check the mods and first of all you should cap the rewards: if it's a reward nobody should win crazy amounts of money from mods but i think your system is doing the exact opposite while simply deleting the little reward other "little modders" had... Your company is totally misleading temselves but i guess we live in world like for many things it is too hard to explain very logical things even to people who get paid to think of this. You could just simply state a rule that no mod should win more than 50$ a month and no modder should win more than 500$; combining those two limitations you would discourage mod spammers/abusers.

I got 2 donation points for November while having 49 unique donwloads. All my mods are opted-in and not hidden and whatever contrary to what customer service answered me. It seems it impossible for Nexus to understand the problem. Obviously your Algorythm is heavily bugged. As a side note we can also see that now unique downloads = 1 DP when before it was usually 3 or 4... That's how Nexus try reward better modders by crushing little modders and "stealing" donation point. Not only your algortyhm is not capable onfcounting all the donwloads, the unique DL value have reduce and when you report the problem you have stupid answers like you didn't opt-in. We are making your company win a lot of money by our free work, not only unique donwloads are vlauable for your company when every visists on your website make you win money with ads??? right. For one unique DL my mod have hundreds visits. It seems you have enough money to pay peoples to make stupid answers and can't understand a problem and that my mods that make hundreds peoples visit your website with my free work have not "enough engagement"... What is this answer seriously??? "It may be that you are not generating DP on your other mods as you are not getting enough engagement, thus showing as only one successful mod. Looking at a few of your mod stats for November, engagement was very low on all cases" I have 6 mods more downloaded and they count for Zero. and this: "DP calculations now consider multiple factors which we cannot discuss. Relying on just downloads as a metric is inaccurate. You have to consider what is popular as a whole as the new system is designed to reward mods which are unique and have high engagement. It was made to combat users who were spamming lots of mods in order to generate DP, taking that DP away from other users." So my mods are not good enough to derserves their donation points??? What BS is this answer. Not only you're not counting donation points but your answer are disrecpectful.
