    Considering how reliable Google's services (usually) are, this will be a rare occurance if nothing else.

    It doesn't 'defeat the point' of having capcatchas at all; it is something I (rarely) encountered when I was still living in an apartment complex and sharing the same IP with others. Nexus has to balance security and convenience and I feel they've struck an acceptable balance between the two. Besides, in a worst case scenario you have a vandal who messes with a modder's settings or something that can be easily undone if reported quickly enough.

Of course there are also those who are super-sensitive about their privacy online and block Google (among other) services. So it's an effort to cater to all our users.


    I see, that makes sense.

    The Overlord of Overhauls - EnaiSiaion

    Posted · Edited by CreeperLava

    I started playing Skyrim again recently, and decided to use Enai's mods for more interesting gameplay possibilities. I am not disappointed, I love all the different characters you can become by choosing a path or another in Ordinator, and the variety Imperious, Andromeda and Apocalypse add to the game.

     

    Thank you so much for listening to your users, too :). I know first-hand how time consuming that is.

    Mod Author Donation System

    I like the idea, Nexus giving back to modders is a good thing. It's going to create a whole slew of issues with permissions and the likes though, which I'm not looking forward to as a mod author. That's the problem when your mod uses assets from other users, I suppose, how do you determine who gets what percentage of the "profit" ? The easiest solution is to pull back from any monetary system, unfortunately.

Since the nexusmods still is the best site for mods to me, i will stuck with you, but when the old design is shut down and only the new site is available, well.... i will stuck with you, but i will hate you forever at the same time for making me use the new design and i will hate myself for using it and not leaving nexus and i will hate everything from then on.
    I hate the new design so much and i hate you for creating it.
    I hate you.


    Is there really a need to be so agressive towards what is ultimately not that important ?
