Vitriks - Formal warning issued

[Pickysaurus]

Vitriks has received a formal warning. This user has now received 1 formal warnings. The warning was given for the following reason:

 

Including large, obnoxious links on your mod pages that advertise your paywalled Patreon content. You appear to have ignored a PM from our staff (on 28 July 2022) making it clear this is not acceptable. This is evident in that you had read the PM but simply deleted it from your inbox without a reply and continued to include these links on your pages.

 

You must not reference your Patreon directly or indirectly while you are paywalling access to mods or offering paid "commissions". The offending links will be removed shortly.

 

Paywalling any kind of mod content or support is a violation of our Donation Points Guidelines

 

Non-Solicitation Rules

Donations in any form are classed as voluntary monetary transactions that yield no gain for the donator. Requesting or offering donations in exchange for any content or service will be considered solicitation and is therefore strictly prohibited. Withholding or implying any service or creation of content in relation to any donation activity (e.g. reward goals/tiers) is also prohibited.

 

Donations should only ever be offered as a way of thanking other users for their contributions to our community:

 

- Do not solicit or request donations in exchange for files, updates, or assistance.

- Do not overtly or covertly hint at the possibility of further development of your files in exchange for donations.

- Do not attempt to advertise the donation options in an exaggerated fashion or otherwise include excessive usage of donation reminders in your files and/or file page descriptions.

- Do not offer donations in exchange for files, updates, or assistance.

- Do not link to external sites where monetisation of mods or modding related assistance is discussed e.g. "stretch goals" i.e. "If I reach $100 in donations I will update my mod."

- Do not offer early/beta access to files/services in exchange for donations

 

We allow for tactful discussion of donations, such as simple reminders of the donation options. In ambiguous cases, staff reserve the final say in what constitutes an appropriate discussion of donations.
