Questions regarding closing accounts and mod retention.

[RuzkaTheBear]

Hello. There were a few questions I wanted to ask regarding accounts.

1. Is it against the rules to have more than one account?
2. If yes, can you make a new account if the previous one is closed?
3. When an account is closed, do the mods created by it stay up?
4. If yes, can they still be edited by whoever has been given editing privileges on them?
5. Does the name on a closed account change to "DeletedXYZUser" or does it stay as-is?

1. Yes. Read the Terms of Service.

2. Depends on the reason. Voluntarily close your account and you probably can. Get banned and definitely no.

3. That's up to the Nexus, I believe. They have the right to continue to host the mods. They seem to get rid of the mod pages so only Collections and previous users can download the mods. They will sometimes delete the mods entirely if the user is so toxic they want nothing to do with them.

4. You can turn the mod over to another user and they will stay available and can be edited.

5. Closed accounts are switched to a numeric name and the old name removed.

4. You can turn the mod over to another user and they will stay available and can be edited.

Is that done in the mod permissions section of each mod or is there another way to universally give someone else access to all mods on your account?
