Suggestion for Mod download part of Nex

[Corehound]

Hey Nexus :thumbsup:

 

I have a suggestion with regards to the "Hidden" feature of a modders post.

 

I find it a little annoying that when I set my mod post to hidden, if I need to update it safely without having it viewable by the public, that I can't somehow let ppl know why the mod is currently made hidden and I was thinking that it might be cool if it would be possible to create a personal note to the page that shows when ppl try to view the mod, something like "I'm currently working on uploading the newest version of my mod XXX and should have the new upload ready shortly, thank you for your patience :0)"

 

Just something to let ppl know why the post is hidden :smile:

 

Another place I think it would be great to have this kind of feature, is when ppl for one reason or another completely remove their post, I think that in some cases this might add a little roamer control, which seems to be needed now and then :pinch:

 

Anyway, as always, love the site / forum, great work guys and keep it up :thumbsup:

Personally I'd also prefer those items to temporarily not show up in the recent additions list. Adding a simple text box that would be displayed would do nicely anyway!

It would be a nice addition if possible and...not to stressing on the system. I'd definitely like to see this though :).

create a personal note to the page that shows when ppl try to view a hidden mod

:thumbsup: I have given this idea my endorsement.

Yes, then we know if it was the admins or someone's still uploading :P

This is a great idea!

A little note explaining why we can't view is brilliant!

The amount of times I've gone to a mod and it was set to "Hidden" I was like "WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!!?!?!" and was even unable to find out who the author was =/

 

This could also be a great thing for moderators also, when they set a file to hidden they can post a reason why for anyone interested.

I like this as well, tho I think that it should also have staff "lock" feature. That way, if the file is hidden by the staff, for violations or whatever, the violator wouldnt be able to go in and throw a public rant on the page that we hid from the public.

Especially these files where the attachments are questionable, or possibly viruses. I mean, it wouldnt do any good to shut down the attachment if they can post a link to it in the comment.

If the staff hid the file, it shouldn't say anything other than "being reviewed by the staff, sorry for the inconvenience."

 

It would irritate me greatly if my mod were hidden from the public by a moderator if being scrutinized because of a false allegation of theft / copyright infringement and noted as such on my page and then later to be exonerated. That would be damage done in my opinion. It would only promote public slander and that isn't tolerated on this site and most certainly not by the staff.

 

Although it would be better if the hide page displayed some basic info regardless of who hid it such as:

 

Mod Title

Mod Author

Page creation date

Date when page was set to hidden

And then the customized note by the author or the automated note caused by a staff member hiding the page.

If there is concern for such behavior, the 1st thing the moderator should do is change the ownership while the mod is under scrutiny...problem solved.
