Staff NexusSiteBot Posted February 19 Staff Share Posted February 19 (edited) Account Banned - DarthRen DarthRen has been banned from Nexus Mods for violating our community rules. Reason Continued and repeated violations of Nexus Mods rules by linking to paywalled mods and commissions. Terms of Service Violations: "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 link to external sites/communities where monetisation of mods or modding-related assistance is discussed. This includes both direct links (e.g. Patreon) and indirect links (e.g. a Discord server promoting paid content on Patreon)" "Do not offer early/beta access to files/services in exchange for donations." During the previous formal warning for this issue, we warned DarthRen that "This is your final warning, you continue to violate our Terms of Service in regards to soliciting donations, we have no choice but to ban your account." We have spoken to DarthRen multiple times, deleted 32 different advertisements, had to remove over 50 comments, remove links, ban multiple alt-accounts used to manipulate Donation Points and endorsements and issued multiple formal warnings. All of the links and references to paywalled content will be removed from DarthRen's mods. At this point it is clear that DarthRen's goals regarding the paywalling of their mods is fundamentally opposed to our rules, which they have refused to comply with. It's a shame due to the the free contributions they have made to the community, however at this point we have no choice but to ban them. EDIT: 20/02/2025 - Unbanned Unbanned after an appeal conversation This unban is conditional upon the following: Quote from DarthRen: Quote I will promptly remove all mentions and links to external websites or social media platforms that display paywalled content from my Nexus Mods account. I will refrain from engaging in any business-related communications or solicitations on Nexus Mods, including through direct messages. I will correct the previous misinformation by clearly stating that the ban was due to solicitation violations, as outlined in your notice, rather than any issues related to uploading content owned by Amazon Game Studios. I recognize that this is my final opportunity to adhere to these guidelines, and I am committed to ensuring full compliance in the future. We recognise that DarthRen has committed to ensuring they stay compliant with our solicitation rules and are will to give them another chance.
