AaronOfMpls Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 I had to shake my head at a recent one: Quote Account Banned - civ55 civ55 has been banned from Nexus Mods for violating our community rules. Reason As you couldn't find the "Delete account" button in your settings you decided to post "[several redacted slurs] website" on the forums. "henlo I cannot find button to delete my nexus account, I would appreciate a permanant ban. thank" Redacted by me; see the original ban thread if you really want to know what they were. *smh* Not sure if I hope it was or wasn't the user's trolling younger relative misusing their already-logged-in account... (Speaking of which, always lock your computer when you step away from it, if other people might have access to it.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, however, think that user just became fed up with Nexus for whatever reason and decided to delete the account, couldn't figure it out and resorted to the next best thing -- getting banned by posting the most inflammatory epithets. But I don't know. Without context, it's uncertain. I'm just guessing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyan49 Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Quote Account Banned - NexusModsWorstSite NexusModsWorstSite has been banned from Nexus Mods for violating our community rules.

Chadonraz Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 (edited) I sometimes look at that forum, too, just out of curiosity. Some of the reasons for the bans and warnings really are amusing -- as in, it's something utterly dumb, like those oh-so-clever usernames containing racial slurs or other such niceties. As I read through this thread, I saw some discussion regarding users who tag, quote, or even PM moderators with something action-worthy. Those are my personal favourites, as a moderator myself on a few other forums. Literally sending a mod a notification about one's rule violation is just... beyond understanding. Like, you're asking to get caught. All in all, the list of obviously inappropriate or even illegal things people think they can post and get away with is staggeringly long. And those "NexusModsWorstSite" type usernames are just plain childish. PS. I guess many of these champs have very thin skin themselves, and assume others are the same. Which, of course, is not true in many cases, especially when it comes to mods or admins. Someone who deals with rule-breakers on a regular basis is bound to have thick skin, and be beyond the reach of insults and even threats.

UsernameWithA9 Posted July 25 Author Share Posted July 25 True, the moderation thread is mostly amusing. But at times there are some intriguing ones as well, like this next one. Spoiler Account Banned - orochinexus orochinexus has been banned from Nexus Mods for violating our community rules. Reason User warned via full-page notification and DM on 18th July regarding suspected account sharing and/or site scraping. 7 day notice period given to adjust behaviour. Current downloads of 128,348 mods over last 30 days, without showing any indication of slowing down. It begs the question: Did this account holder download any of my mods? And if it did... I say, keep it up! Because I'm creeping up on 1000 unique downloads and I need all the help I can get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronOfMpls Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Two adjacent ban threads made me smile recently: Quote Posted Tuesday at 06:53 AM Account Banned - Mapleleaf001 Quote Posted Tuesday at 06:55 AM Account Banned - Mapleleaf001 So "nice", they got banned twice? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienSlof Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Don't know whether it's the bot not working right or what, but even after the title of a post says 'Formal Warning Issued', at the end it almost always says 'This user has now received a total of 0 formal warning(s).' even when it's right there on the page! Sometimes it says that even after more than one formal warning! The total is 1 - look it's right there - one! Also, it beggars my belief at how stupid some of these people are, using the same name over and over and just changing a number. It's obvious, right? After being a moderator on here back in the early days, I still enjoy browsing that section. I used to enjoy adding a few little witticisms at the end! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the bot is quirky. I've noticed that on just about all the ones I've browsed. Although not about formal warnings, Pickysaurus said the following back on page 5 about the bans sometimes lacking a stated reason, "I have looked into this. It's actually just a quirk of the system. These accounts were spammers these bans aren't meant to even generate a thread." 3 hours ago, AlienSlof said: Also, it beggars my belief at how stupid some of these people are Not me, man. I believe it was Bullet Tooth Tony who said, "Never underestimate the predictability of stupidity." But some are just either immature or angry --both of which sometimes foster stupidity. Like this next user: Quote Account Banned - NEXUSSUCKSBIGBALLS444 NEXUSSUCKSBIGBALLS444 has been banned from Nexus Mods for violating our community rules. Reason Account sharing. Login credentials shared on a monitored website. The username clearly expresses some severe discontent. They knew that would never fly. They were just pissed at Nexus. The reasons given are leaning towards the stupid or naive side though, the latter gives the benefit of the doubt. But how it wasn't deemed an 'Inappropriate Username' as an additional reason is curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
