SirRage Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Hello everyone. Firstly, I'm not 100% sure this is the right place but it fitted better than the other topics I saw. Feel free to tell me were this should be and I'll do what I can to correct it. So, I spent last night playing a mod for fallout: new Vegas. I'm not going to say which mod, I don't want to start a witch hunt or anything. I played this mod for about four or five hours and effectively finished it, so I decided to write a "Review" (It was three in the morning so inverted commas needed). This review was polite, going on at length about the mods strengths before starting with some criticism. The next day I decided to check up on it and Boom,"The author of this mod has blocked your access to this file" . Do note, this isn't a topic begging for access or shouting at the site in general. I know that it isn't in the hands of nexus staff any more. I'm just wondering if this is a disconnected issue. I've sent a message to the mod author (Again, quite polite) asking about it I've had no joy with that so far. So, is this just a one off incident or does this happen a lot? I was quite surprised when it happened, the mod seemed well made and the author seemed quite mature but I guess appearances can be deceiving. Thanks for your time.

Jokerine Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I had seen and read the message you posted in the mod, I see it has been deleted now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirRage Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 @Jokerine (I don't know how replies work on this system, sorry)Yep. Kinda annoyed about it. I took about an hour to write, an extra 20 minutes to comb over for spelling errors and unbalanced lines. Still. I'm saying no names and I encourage you to do the same.

Jokerine Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Of course, not a problem. Hope the author gets back at you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirRage Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 They just did actually. I got a 20 line rant about how perhaps the mod was too good for me and, I quote, "I didn't like what you said so I reported you". Guess that isn't getting resolved then.

saadus Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Sorry to hear about your bad experience x_x Some mod authors just can't handle it. Most of the mods I used, however, generally have well-tempered authors and are open to criticism and such =P Just a few bad apples in the batch.

drithius Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 If your criticism was indeed level-headed and thoughtful, I can only blame an immature mod author. Such things happen, albeit rarely - thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirRage Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) (Still don't know how replies work, Google has no answers..) It's a shame really, the rest of the sites users seem so polite. I'm going to write another review (If you can call it that) eventually, once I find something that I have enough opinions on to make it worth it. (Edited to rephrase for clarity, Didn't mean to come off as if I was hunting for things to shout about, Sorry) Edited May 4, 2015 by SirRage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drithius Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 If you're going out of your way to find things to criticize, then that changes things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirRage Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 No, I just want recommendations, I'm not hunting for something to complain about, Just something I can look at. I didn't get this mod for the express purpose of complaining but by the end I felt I had enough opinions (Positive and negative) to say something . I used to be a casual writer, I know how important constructive criticism can be to the growth and improvement of the product and the author.
