Tagging your mods on upload

[jfcmp87]

Can you guys make it a requirement for mod authors to include a tag when uploading a mod? Maybe I am the only one but I get really frustrated when trolling through pages and pages of mods filled with "sliders, presets, and other mods" that have no tags so I'm not able to remove them with the search filter. Skyrim for example has hundreds if not thousands of these mods, many of them improperly tagged or not at all.

 

I think this requirement would be, at most, a trivial little requirement that could easily be meant by any mod author that would end with a positive net result for the users. You guys already include a reminder for us to endorse the mods we use, I assume it wouldn't be very difficult to apply a similar reminder (if a on post req. is too much) for authors to tag there mods.

 

Thanks for reading.

However, there are plenty of cases where the category is enough and no tags are required.

I see this can be a bit harsh for mod authors, but tagging adequately it's always beneficial for all users.

Since the OP specifically mentioned the "Search Filter", here is a dose of reality.

NexusMods tells users the way to limit what they see on NexusMods is to exclude tags in their settings and in their search filters. https://help.nexusmods.com/article/39-how-do-i-hide-or-show-adult-or-other-specific-content "By blocking tags, mods associated with those tags will no longer appear in file listings."

Lets couple that with some more additional truth. Categories are NOT a searchable data element, so cannot be included or excluded in a search. Furthermore, words/phrases in the description or the Title cannot be used to exclude results during a search.

Tags are the ONLY searchable element which can be used to limit results in a mod search or in what one sees on NexusMods mod listings.

But, Pickysaurus says "However, there are plenty of cases where the category is enough and no tags are required." Pickysaurus' comment is in direct conflict with Nexus' recommendation on limiting mod listings and search results.

So, you've never seen the "refine results" panel in the search results?

 

The one that let's you filter by language, words in the description, author name, uploader name, required tags, excluded tags, category and several other things?

First, given that you quoted part of my post out of context and omitted the portion where the lists of mods were included in the topic under discussion, you create the false impression that search results are the only issue. And that is just a way to misrepresent what I said, and then twist the conversation with a deliberately misleading response. I knew there was a reason I blocked you.

 

Furthermore, the ONLY searchable field on the Refine Search page which can be used to exclude results is TAGS ("Tags must not include"). None of the others allow for exclusion. Specifically, one cannot exclude words or phrases from either the title nor the description.

 

Linked here is the page Content Blocking. Where on this page can one block Categories from showing up on their lists of mods displays? Additionally, the page Content Blocking is the ONLY place where authors can be excluded, but only authors, as uploader seems immune from exclusion.

 

One last thing. Language is just another tag, and tags are not required. So the Language selection is only valid if the author deigned to supply a language.

 

And that is the whole point. Tags are only valid if an author bothered to supply them. Nexus' insistence (linked to the in part of my post you didn't bother to include) that tags can be used to limit mod displays is just so much bull.

the tagging system really triggers you, doesn't it?

have you ever wondered why that is?

Another ad hominem from my least favorite stalker and harasser. Thank you. I am collecting these little snippets for documentation. Maybe Nexus will eventually do something about your hate filled and hateful harassment.

pass your collection to your attourney general pal and see what he does.

anyway, tagging - don't you filter on certain tags to help your searches? how about specific mod authors and the likes? that's what i do, and i find, personally speaking, the tags, and other filtering techniques give me what i'm interested in.

just saying.

I wonder how many of those people complaining about tags actually bother tagging mods themselves, before the site was updated people's profiles used to show how many files they'd tagged, it didn't go unnoticed that those doing the complaining usually had a big fat zero next to the number of files they'd tagged.
