So why are other mod websites allowed but not Llab? I'm sorry but that is not at all the reason here. Every other mod website can be freely posted here. In fact even in some news items in the news channel of this site there are links to other modding websites.

It does seem unnecessary to me to straight up censor any mention of the site, not allowing links I could maybe understand and I'm all for the anti-piracy policy, but the borderline animosity is unwarranted. Plug your ears and go LALALALALA all you want but the site will still exist and might actually have information modders here will find useful, yet aren't allowed to discuss because ooooh bad site full of nasty pervs and sodomites that don't like us finger wag finger wag

There's actually quite a large number of mods and guides that woud be perfectly fine on the nexus but are only found on Llab. It's not all about the sexlab mod, even if that's how the site got most of it's fame.

It would not want even an instant where porn could accidentally pop up while their child was in the room. I agree with you Ac3s, we all have our own opinions.

 

I really don't worry about my kid seeing some porn pop-ups once in a while. The effect on her outlook on life will be less than negligible compared to the messages inherent to most mainstream media. I'd be more worried about her exposure to TLC or MTV than a boobie or a dinkle in a porn ad. I mean really, what do you think is going to happen?

 

Also, "you never know when your kids might be looking over your shoulder?" Who's your kid, Michael Myers? When my kids are home I generally know where they are and what they are doing. At the very least I know if they are right there in the same room as me.

therefor the site name should be allowed to be mentioned

Agreed, if they would block the links to avoid having porn in peoples faces the moment they click on them, well I can understand that, but censoring the name itself so that people need to call it "LL" or some other nickname is a step too far for my taste.

I think Robin explained why he chose to drop the name usage also. He even commented earlier that if it were true that they were taking a stronger stance in the forums and how they are run with regard to the Nexus he would reconsider. However he also said that he didn't know about the in-your-face sexually explicate banner ads (and possible other issues.)

 

There are actually other sites blocked in this same way..name link and all. They just happened to be less known and less controversial. The rules we have in the ToS (and none of you seem to hear what I am saying here-we aren't picking on LL, the rules is not to link to these type of sites with objectionable content, illegal content and so forth) are applied to any site which we find or is reported to us, not just this one. Again, ultimately it remains Robin's site. He tried very hard to be fair and have rules that make logical sense and are applied fairly. However if he wants to make a rule than anyone with a screenname that is from a book or movie is not allowed...then he can and that is his prerogative. This isn't a democracy it is a privately owned and run website.

 

My opinion is until these issues are resolved the links will remain disallowed. As for the name removal. Perhaps that is something Robin will think about. I can not speak his mind. But you all must remember he has a site to protect. If links and open conversation to sites with openly sexual content (no gates to protect people especially the young) or illegal content exist all over it could (though perhaps unlikely) get The nexus into legal issues.

 

There are rules and laws beyond just those here that are regarding the operation of a website in the UK. Then there is the additional Nexus rules. It isn't about taking over parenting or babysitting duties as is what is being implied. There are things you can and can not do according to UK law.

 

Again if you want to argue the case the name should be let back and not censored then debate your view, stating why the site name should be allowed and saying we shouldn't parent for people is not really a relevant argument. (And please people go read the ToS: http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?app=forums&module=extras&section=boardrules ) However the links will remain banned just because of the other things, I would imagine.

i think people keep forgetting the piracy side of this debate. there have been many mods stolen from users of the Nexus and posted on the site that shall not be named, along with many containing ripped content as well. the fact that the site doesnt have a age gate (which you legally require for US and i believe UK sites) is the other big factor here as well. also almost everything on the site can be found elsewhere guide wise.

[Noortje]

Don't you need to be at least 18 to make an account on LLab? Isn't that enough of an age gate?

As for piracy, I don't really know about that haven't seen stolen mods on there before.

I fail to see why the rule needs to be relaxed. My use of this site is not impacted by the rule, nor do I see how my use of this site would be improved by lifting the restriction.
