pra Posted July 13, 2018 Posted July 13, 2018 Seems like I just got blocked for over-zealous bug reporting. Maybe he didn't like the tone of the comment, but meh, what's done is done.
payl0ad Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 Well people tend to report stuff as bugs that's not a bug. I mean, I've received bug reports from people being incapable of operating their own mod manager. I tend to just close the bug as "not a bug" with or without a quick comment and be on my merry way when that happens. Good practice to avoid that situation: When submitting a bug, be certain it is actually a bug. Isolate and test beforehand, don't treat a bug report as a way of requesting tech support.Provide steps to reproduceGive as much detail as possible, bare minimum would be your load orderRespond to eventual feedback the author needs from youTry fixing it yourself using xEdit
pra Posted July 15, 2018 Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) Well, this is the comment I wrote. By pure chance, I still had it open in another tab when I noticed that I was blocked: Edited July 15, 2018 by pra
duckyduckyquackquack Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Just came across this very situation myself. Downloaded a Mod for Fallout 4 the Sanguinaire Mod, been testing it for a few days and noticed a small issue with clothing and armour added by the mod that meant its not scrappable at all in the game either via the armor workbench or via the build menu in a settlement. Reported it to the Mod Author via a post on the Mod Page which was very polite and courteous. I even recorded a video today and uploaded to YouTube to be able to post to the Mod Author to show the issue in action and now find I'm banned from his mod and all his mods, even for other games which I have no problem with and quite enjoy. I used another browser to access the mod page and notice he's even removed and deleting the posts from people.
Vanguardascendant Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Two things... first, I'm fascinated that this thread was necro'd after 3 years :) Second, don't mod authors have the ability to select whether options such as bug-reporting are available to users? I seem to remember visiting some mod pages and seeing a limited selection of options for bug reporting, posting, etc...

duckyduckyquackquack Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 Doesn't matter if mod pages have seperate bug-reporting tools, forums or the standard post pages if a Mod Author is just going to block users for trying to use them. I also can't believe the Nexus Site won't respond to users who have been unfairly blocked from mods by authors. I now can't download updates to this mod because I'm blocked from the page, or re-download it if I move to another computer. I also can't download mods for a completely different game because apparently when an author blocks you, it blocks you from their entire content not just a specfic file. That I do think is wrong.
Vanguardascendant Posted July 18, 2018 Posted July 18, 2018 I get what you're saying, but I think it would be tough for the site admin to police that. It would be a case-by-case situation, time intensive, and very subjective, for them to investigate every time a site user claimed that they were unfairly blocked. Don't get me wrong, I do think you have a point. Just not sure that it's easily addressable, and the current situation at least allows the mod authors to self-police. And seeing as how they're providing mods for free, I'd personally give them the benefit of the doubt.

pra Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 And it keeps happening... This time, I haven't got a screenshot, though. Do I really have to screenshot each time I even mention a bug of a mod now?? This time, settlemods. I basically just looked at it in xEdit, noticed a lot of deleted vanilla records (said to cause CTDs, xEdit even offers a builtin function to move them to Z=-30000 and disable them instead), two registration quests per settlement (one is enough, no idea what the second would even do), and conditions of the registration quest(s) being not strict enough, leading to "player home" interiors being registered with WorkshopParent, sometimes with the same Location as the main settlement. Posted that, asked for permission to make a fix and offered help fixing if not. Then, ban. So I guess, better stay away from that mod.
