As well as the most overuse/abuse of the word hypothetical in a post.

Indeed, it blew well past any semblance of plausible deniability!  (Never mind that asking how to mod a pirated game is still against the rules here (IIRC), regardless of whether or not you're actually pirating the game.)  I can very much imagine TVD thinking "nice try" before swinging the banhammer. 🙂

What on earth are all these about?

How does that even work?

Not very well for me; I will now actively avoid buying/playing their game ... if I ever find out what it is. 🙂

More seriously, I'm not entirely sure.  Could've been FOMod installers advertising their game instead of actually installing a mod, or files advertising their game (via filenames or text file contents), etc.  Maybe @JustThatKing or another moderator will say more, but I wouldn't blame them if they don't. 

I can't see how this would be a very effective ad, either.  If I downloaded a game mod and got an ad for a completely different game instead, I'd probably be rather annoyed by the bait-and-switch, and want to avoid ever playing or paying for the advertised game.

I don't (want to) know "Parabator" but that's what the link said.

This is about all I could come up with. It's a screenshot of a DuckDuckGo search result. When you click the link, it takes you to Nexus' mod not found page.

A new one with a 21 minute gap from "formal warning" to "banned".

That tends to happen when users see a warning as a challenge or personal attack and decide to start a fight that they can't win.
