I strongly agree with having more protection for mod authors. I say this because I have seen content being sold in Second Life where the "creator" has clearly just stolen the content and repackaged it as their "own." This is true for content hosted on the Nexus, as well as content stolen from the likes of Bethesda, CDProjeckt Red, Tera online and others. I hope that more will be done to protect the work of the mod authors who spend so much time and effort on their creations.

but merely those who translate mods

There's a "translation" tag for that you can block that was implemented months ago for that very reason.

going off on a tangent

That's kind of an exaggeration.

See, I'll never understand that. Like o12no1 said, there's always gonna the things around you you're not gonna like, you just scroll past it. I feel this applies a hundredfold in the Imageshare. Even if someone isn't producing content you like at this moment, they may improve or expand their scope of modding/screenshooting later and make something you could really enjoy, and you wouldn't realize it. Because in the process of taking advantage of your options, you ended up cutting them down in the long run.

To each their own I suppose. The option isn't going to hurt anyone that avoids it. Apologies if my original post appeared antagonistic, it really wasn't supposed to be. Edited March 7, 2015 by Eiries

Author blocking is useful to me but only in a minor way. Although it will be nice to just say no to flesh mod authors and the unending stream of skimpy little girl follower mods, but a limit of 32 is not that useful (if that is indeed the case).

 

Tag blocking doesn't really work since to block other languages or skimpy mods since you end up blocking mods you wanted if the mod is poorly tagged. Improving the tag blocking system so certain choices preclude others for example would be the best improvement. I.e. a mod cant both be lore friendly AND have skimpy or be an anim mod, or be in English AND multi-lingual.

 

All that matters to me as a user is getting better searches. To that end, blocking individual mods with no limit (or say 1000) would be helpful. You end up doing similar searches a lot and this would streamline your use of the search system allowing blocking of non-English mods and mods you know to be defective, similar to another but lesser in your opinion, or dare I say, non-original. In any case, the theme here ought to be more choice is better so thanks.

If a mod author blocks you from downloading his addons, it's useful for actually removing them from the site instead of stumbling on them and getting a 503 error.

There may also be some mod authors whose mods you find utterly tasteless.

Short answer is narrowing the mods to look through by removing authors you know make stuff you do not like. Take anime stuff, if you know an author who makes anime style armor and you despise anime you can block them and now you will have a shorter list of armors to browse knowing that his anime armors are not in the list. Yeah you can ignore the stuff but if an author makes quite allot it can add many more pages to browse through.

Blocking an author's content is doing exactly what you're suggesting people do: Not looking at things they don't like.

You, on the other hand, could be not looking at this feature if its mere existence offends you so much, but instead of taking your own advice, you're here complaining about the settings other people use on their own damn accounts. Pretty hypocritical, yeah? Edited March 20, 2015 by TheSpaceShuttleChallenger

Thank you for implementing this!

That's great, finally I can block all that stream of juvenile Japanese stuff.

I like that. It is possible to block authors whose mods one consistently don't like. It is useful when checking 'New Recently', so one does not waste time. Also people who don't like certain type of mods will not be leaving stupid comments on discussion boards of those mods, because they would, hopefully, block authors and never learn about the mods.
