A large number of mods from here are being translated into Russian without permission or contact, and posted on a Russian website. Watch out, this is an adult website, scroll down past all the ladies to see the mods here.

I believe that from a strictly legal point of view they can do what they like, but from a human point of view it is very unpleasant to find your mod translated without permission. (And yes, a few of those mods are mine.)

I am wondering what is the policy of Nexus Mods in this situation. The original mods do all come from here.

Oh yes, they scrape a lot of websites. I find that Nexus is generally quite good at stopping this, although I believe that once it happened, it cannot be undone, only future scraping prevented. I posted some of my mods on another popular modding website, and they got scraped within a day... Things aren't as bad here on Nexus.

This is why I am interested to know the stance on translations specifically. That Russian website has links back to Nexus, lists the original authors, etc., and it isn't the same as scraping - someone had to do the translation work. Even with the help of machine translation, it's still a lot of work - they have A LOT of Nexus mods there. However, it still leaves a bitter taste in the mouth that they didn't contact anyone beforehand.

I just visited that site and got a face full of malvertising, that is actually a new issue.

Their domain host is godaddy, have fun reporting them.😃

Yes, looks like some of your Nexus mods are on that site. 4 of my 5 Nexus mods are also there.

That's what I meant - they were scraped from the other site, as far as I can tell.
