It's true yeah, reporting works and I highly appreciate the mods continually stepping in to take out the rif-raff. As for it being normal human behavior, I can't say that the things I've seen here are anything close to normal. I understand there's mix of good and bad in everything indeed. I would just hate for mod authors to end up leaving due to people who literally can not think before they post. It's not like on the internet people automatically lose their human qualities, these things are still very real.

I'm not going to name and shame users, but I've been noticing a disturbing rise of just generally rude comments towards mod authors. For example, on a mod that people don't like, the author will get comments about them being a pedophile, perverted, virgin, nerd, or whatever just because the mod doesn't appeal to them. Why do people feel the need to fling mud at other people? No one throwing insults at people who are far up into their heads in the "lore", so as such the same respect should be given to those who don't prefer to be as lore filled about everything. There is absolutely no need to be rude to other users, as people seem to forget that mods are not made for them. No-one literally sits here and crafts a mod for the "people" as it is not going to work, not everyone likes the same thing. When we get to point of having to insult people for liking what they don't like, it really gets ugly and makes the community look terrible. There's just a giant lack of respect from people, and an inability to ignore things that don't appeal to them. I do not understand why this is so hard to grasp that everybody is different, and has different things they want to do with their game. Absolutely no-one should be forcing their ideals on to others or even making false assumptions about people they know nothing about. The people behind these usernames are real people, but some people seem to forget that and treat them like roaches. What irks me the most is when people drop some snide comment about others on a mod that they like. - "Oh I love this mod, and it's not like that other pedophile mod made by that pedophile author!" - "Glad this isn't some big breast virgin mod like those other authors, these people don't know how to play the game!" - "I don't understand why people don't make more lore friendly mods like this, instead of making perverted mods!" Enough with the assumptions and rude comments seriously, no-one is flinging mud at you, so why fling mud at them? It's not right and it needs to stop, it's 2014 for crying out loud.

I do like the idea of breaking up the imageshare, at the moment it's a bit of a mess with all sorts lumped together, yes there are categories but story uploads or uploads with multiple images don't always fit into one thing or the other. Maybe only allow story sections to have embedded images? the images themselves if hosted elsewhere don't use this sites bandwidth, a large number however can cause issues for those with limited bandwidth, a crap connection or mobile devices. If embedding was restricted to one or two categories people could avoid pages that might be problematic for them. Interesting suggesting, that seems like a fair option as well.

I suppose this is the correct section for all collective feedback? I originally posted this in Skyrim General before seeing this section. Yo, So first I'd like to say for one, thanks to the guys who run the show behind the Nexus and to all the modders. So let's get right to the topic. Alright so, the imageshare itself is good. I've mostly hung around the Skyrim imageshare myself, with some peeking over at the other imageshares. I mean, it's a good place for people to have a good time, submitting images they want to share with others. People can comment on the images to submit feedback about their shots, or endorse them as a way of giving kudos on a job well done. Then you have the sections dedicated for images with high endorsement ratings as a way of getting work out there so to speak. I have to admit that hanging around the imageshare can be really rewarding, as I've discovered some great work from others not even here, but also on other image sites like Flickr. It's not only just a medium for submitting images, but for us to communicate as well. Since technically, we're all one big family really. We tend to see each other each time we go here, so I suppose we're like virtual brother/sisters. Basically for me, this has become sort of a hobby. It's inspired me to try different things outside of playing games, but wanting to contribute to them. Heck, I never thought I would see myself taking screenshots of games, or communicating with others on a portion of a site dedicated to screenarchery. I have no regrets of it though, as it's been really rewarding for myself. - Being able to see others constantly improve from the beginning of their submitted images and towards the present. - Being able to see mod authors submitting previews of their upcoming work. - Being able to see all of the different visual styles and ways this game can be shown. I've seen some people take this game and literally make it look like a new one, truly amazing stuff. With all that said, I just have to say I'm glad this site was around, and the people on it are around to. If you can at the time, (as I understand we all don't have unlimited time). Don't forget to leave a comment for a mod author previewing their new armor, enb, dungeon, or weapon. Or even a comment for other screenarchers as well. Endorsements are good quick way for letting someone know you appreciated their work, but a comment can help a person even more. It's really encouraging when you leave feedback for people as it can help them improve, or boost their confidence. I've seen some mod authors constantly submitting their preview works (like the Ayleid Transfusion project by varlaisaran) or (Elvarheim) who get little attention. I'm sure guys like him could use some love. These guys are doing some really good stuff, and there's a ton of others out there too. I would also like to post a request about the imageshare as well: - For images with the endorsement feature disabled, would it be possible to set-up a category for these to be grouped together? What I mean is like you have separate categories for Aesthetic, Combat, Misc, etc. shots would it be possible to have a toggle option for (Endorsements Allowed/No Endorsements Allowed?) I ask because there's some really good shots out there, deep within those 200,000+ images in the imageshare that are very hard to find. This would make it much easier to find them or have them separate from the images with endorsements. Also, this is pretty big, but I was thinking for the Top Images section, maybe it could have sort of a twist to it. So what if instead images were sort of rotated or featured by the number of endorsements? Like you have the section of images with 200 endorsements, 100, 90, 80, 70, all the way down to the single digits. And you had those images in those divisions that were rotated around on display (kind of like a slideshow) so you would see many images from different authors being featured. I suppose that maybe it would encourage more people to comment or branch out to all of the different users here since so many people would have a chance to have their name out there. It might be sort of a crazy idea, but it's a thought I wanted to put out there. I don't want it to seem like a competition, I've never really looked at it that way. I think of it more as a medium for us to: 1. Associate with each other, communicate. 2. Encourage each other, sort of goes with the above. 3. Give feedback, if an image isn't being well received, maybe give constructive feedback as to why it's not well received. Also, how it can improve as well. 4. When we're doing really awesome, it shows. Like hey, that guy really improved on that set, or she did really well here on execution/dialogue/etc. These situations deserve a lot of recognition. Also, for those submitting shots, or for the modders. Keep doing with you're doing. If it doesn't look like many people are recognizing you, like you're not getting many endorsements/comments, keep at it. There's a lot of reasons for that, but the main thing is to keep at it. Never give up on yourself and just keep striving to improve, look back on your previous work to see how far you've come. I can instantly recognize improvement from so many people here by looking back on their oldest work.

Also will chime in along with Reimar that I am experiencing the same issue as Reimar. Any image I choose to upload results in: ErrorThe site has run in to a problem, please look at the error message below... There was an error while storing your image in our database. Please try again. This is on the Skyrim Nexus.

It's completely gone from the database before. A few months back it was hidden for awhile until the author updated it. It was updated, but now it's completely gone from the nexus database, what happened?

Yo, So as to elaborate on the topic title, over time I have grown curious as to what other people look for in images on the imageshare. For example, do you like to see darker or lighter screenshots? Screenshots that portray horror, murder, peace, happiness, beauty, romance, war, characters, and so on. When you're browsing the imageshare what is the factor that truly makes you want to click on a specific image thumbnail, and then proceed to praise that image with either your endorsement or comments? If there's a user that you've noticed has a reputation for making good images, do you tend to check their images before others, or do you stop and browse each image? Lastly, for a top image, what would you expect out of an image to have a place above all others? Do you expect that image to be memorable, unique, unusual, or a masterful show of dedication? If you're regarded as being great at capturing images, what advice would you give to those submitting their own shots? This is all out of curiosity, I would just like to know more about the community that I'm a part of.
