Dotho Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Don't forget to use their "Contact Us" to... uh... "contact them"http://www.fallout4mods.net/contact-us/ and apparently: [email protected] y'know... to "politely ask them to remove your mod from the site" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 We cannot police other mod sites. Most of these are uploaded by kiddies that just don't either realize or care that they are stealing someone elses work. They don't realize that by stealing mods the modders may no longer bother to make mods available. Mostly just ignorance on the part of whoever uploaded your mod to a site you have not approved. If the site is paying for the mods or asking for payment then you can report them to Beth - and hope they even care. Meanwhile - send an email to the site administrator of the site asking politely to either credit you with the mod and take appropriate action against whoever uploaded ( those kind of karma whores don't stop at stealing just one person's work) or take it down entirely. If they ignore or brush you off - send a DCMA takedown notice.

indipindi Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 At the end no one will ever beat Nexus Mods.Nexus will always be first in Search results just simply of the traffic.All these small sides will hit the dirt sooner than later cause no one will ever use it.

Dotho Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 There's no way to upload files to that site, which leads me to believe it's the owner of the site uploading all of it. Meaning there's very little possibility that he'll "take appropriate action against whoever uploaded it" What's more, he's actually copied some stuff straight from nexus... His category list is nearly the same as Nexus' Fallout 3 category list (then updated with new categories from Nexus' FO4 categories); straight down to the "Millionth Member Competition" category:http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/categories/?http://www.fallout4mods.net/category/fallout-4/millionth-member-competition/ It's... kind of hilarious...

Its literally just a rip off cut and paste of lots of Nexus content. That is why I was saying it is some of the Nexus IP being used perhaps they could get involved too. If there is no option to upload mods to the site - then its clearly the site author doing it. Like I said - it doesnt bother me personally. But if I was a website and someone copied most of my content to another site with just a different name and didnt provide any credit - that is another thing entirely.

SharraShimada Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I could think of a "solution". Implement a tag in the mod-code, where you can list the authorized websites. Then, the common mod tools, (NMM, MO) checks this, and if its downloaded from another page, it deletes the file and prompt a piracy-message to the user.yes, i know you can download manually, but if the internal download-system breaks with this, user maybe will abondon the piracy-sites, and move over to legal sites.

Edit: At the end no one will ever beat Nexus Mods.Nexus will always be first in Search results just simply of the traffic.All these small sides will hit the dirt sooner than later cause no one will ever use it. You are assuming that everyone uses Google or speaks english. My dad is Russian and he uses Yandex, because it's a popular Russian search engine. If I use Yandex to search for fallout 4 mods Nexus is actually the 3rd listing down, not the first.https://yandex.ru/search/?lr=29646&text=fallout%204%20mods Or if I use my native language to phrase my search, Nexus wont show up until the 3rd page of results: "fallout 4 моды", or fallout 4 mods in english. https://yandex.ru/search/?text=fallout%204%20%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%B4%D1%8B&lr=29646&p=0 There are countless search engines out there and many of them don't have nexus listed as the first mod site.

Boombro Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 It still the most leading in every English leading country and and any other without a native modding site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinraStrife Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 It still the most leading in every English leading country and and any other without a native modding site. Right, but some countries do have mod sites in their native language. Which is why nexus mods wont be the only site out there, and isn't the top result on all search engines.
