PaladinHoss Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Well done! Seing the Nexus monopolize the whole modding industry, such things are expected. Competition never sleeps! Sadly, thats the only way they can have direct influence on the network, rather than being fair competitors and actually do something new and innovative that can compete. Keep up the good work, man!

Jeopardize Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I've started receiving Spam very shortly after this announcement, so there probably is a connection here. Not very happy about that :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did I have to hear about this on another site instead of receiving an email saying I should change my password??Because sending an email to 10 million people would take us about 6-12 months, and have us flagged in every SPAM database on the planet. It's likely by the time the script got around to your email being sent, you wouldn't have even received it.

keypuncher Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Been following this since the original announcement, but hadn't commented before this. I work in IT, and I have no complaints at all about how this was handled on your end. You did a much better job with it and with communicating to us than a lot of large companies have done. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a1021 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 So how can I delete my account now in a way that my data is completely removed from your databases? I can't find a way and I'd like to know how long you keep my data around.You have users with inactive mail adresses. Do you ever clean your database, like delete inactive accounts? You can't possibly have millions of active users. Having so many adresses of course makes you a target.Man, and I had wondered about all those recent spam mails I kept getting.This is really the last straw for me, I don't wanna use your site anymore please. And if you moderate away this post I'll be really angry. I hope you realize you have a bad reputation already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
