File Submission Guidelines question

[WileCoyote68]

They would be forced to remove/change their mod despite living up to the terms of the permission. How is it not punishment?

 

The mod in question was literally called a "modders resource".

It's getting ridiculous with you. Don't change the subject again. This is not about whether one modder is punished by another. It's about the fact that a modder adjusts his assigned permissions to the changed situation.

Which they cannot do according to the TOS at the time they uploaded the file.

The part you refer to has forfeited its validity with the changes made.

How are you not seeing this, showler, the permission was given with a certain frame in place.

 

THE FRAME HAS CHANGED!!!

 

Therefore the permission is no longer valid, PERIOD.

 

 

How is that not clear to you?

The author granting permission can revoke permission if the one using the assets breaks the "terms" established between the two of them. Said terms need to be documented and retained for staff to review should the original author make a request to remove the mod using their assets.

 

Example:

The original author says that the other can use the assets provided they credit them for their work and link back to their mod. The other agrees to do so. When that mod is released if there is no mention of the original author having done the work or no link is provided, the original author can revoke permission and request the staff to remove that mod.

 

The most recent change in Nexus policy does not affect this.

You're barking up the wrong tree. The initial situation has changed drastically because of the changes that have been made. If it had already been like that at that time, the author would not have granted any permissions.

 

You can bark up trees all you want. jenncave asked for understanding of a situation. I presented my understanding of that situation. If that does not agree with your understanding, so be it.

Happy to explain the meaning behind this part of the File Submission Guidelines.

 

Example:

 

Mod Author A: "Hey Mod Author B, can I use your ship model in my mod?"

Mod Author B: "Yes, sure. I hereby grant you permission to use my ship model in your mod, but only if you do not opt your mod into the Donation Points system." = "the terms you decided"

 

Mod Author A then proceeds to publish a mod with Mod Author B's ship model in it and does not opt the mod into the DP system as agreed.

 

6 months later, Mod Author A decides to opt the mod into the DP system.

 

Now Mod Author B is within their rights to revoke the permission, because the opting in of the mod constitutes a breach of the terms they decided on when permission was granted.

 

 

Now let's say Mod Author A did not opt the mod into DP system at all but Mod Author B now decides that they no longer want their work on Nexus Mods. In that case, Mod Author B has no grounds to revoke permissions as Mod Author A has not done anything wrong i.e. they did not breach the agreed upon terms when permission was granted.

 

 

I hope that clears things up for you. Closing the thread with this response, but feel free to PM me, OP, if you're still unsure.
