New blocking methods or why this will be my last post on the nexus

[q111]

No no, i don't want to delete my account, the nexus is so awesome that i would never think of it. But since you changed the rules to let people block the account from downloading a mod files from a user here on the nexus i am afraid to post something in the forums or on the comments-section. For me it was always so: when i like the mod i liked to say thank you, when i didn't like it i simply say nothing. But often it is that i really like the mod, but there is maybe this one thing that could be done better or changed; mostly something really minimal, but i wanted at least to ask for it.

 

But now i am too afraid to post; because there is always the possibility to get banned because i said maybe something that the author didn't liked (like i said i would never insult anyone; respect is always #1 for me), because maybe there is someone who ban everyone who gives a negative comment; and most of the mods here are so exiting that i don't want to risk it.

 

So this will sadly be my last post on the nexus; I will answer pms and endorse and vote for mods whereever i can, and I want to thank every mod author here on the sites in advance; YOU ARE AWESOME! And I enjoyed every conversation with all of you (even if it were only a few), but for me the risk to get banned on the files makes me too afraid to post anymore.

 

I don't know if I am the only one who think so or if I am far too paranoic, but to keep posting now is like walking through a minefield, and it is far too risky for me. So bye, now your silent q111

Honestly if you're not going to cause issues for a mod author then I wouldn't worry about them banning you from their mod (or all their mods). Most mod authors that I'm aware of are fine with constructive criticism (if it actually is). This is mostly for those that need to deal with user's that constantly aggravate them in some way or another. For instance if there is a user that's going to leave inflammatory remarks on my mod why should I let that user download my file as well? If you don't do this, then again I wouldn't worry.

I agree with Faelrin. The worst that most modders would do is delete single posts, and they wouldn't resort to a block unless the user continued to post seriously bad remarks.

No need to start a new topic (and a potnetial flame war) about this, q111.

 

Just put your comments in the same thread that Dark0ne used to announce the changes:

New Mod Author Moderation Features and Updated Terms of Service.

 

Plenty of people have the same concerns as you, and plenty of others are glad to see this.
