SephDragoon Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 I ran across this page when searching for hits on my mod. smodex, what is that? It looks just like the nexus, has all of my info in tact, but of course I am not logged into it. The question is, is this legit (highly doubtful) or does it need to be reported like some kind of attack site? Warning, do not click unless you know what you're doing!http://www.smodex.club/fallout4/mods/6803
Community Manager Dark0ne Posted January 28, 2016 Community Manager Posted January 28, 2016 It's a fake site and nothing to do with us.
SephDragoon Posted January 28, 2016 Author Posted January 28, 2016 Alright, yeah. I tried clicking around, and not even the login section leads anywhere, nor can you download any files. If it was an attack site, I do not know what it's point is, unless I am just passively blocking the malicious ads or something, because it wasn't added to my safe zone on ad-blocker. Either way, is there somewhere we can report it or something? It came up pretty high in my google search. Or will you guys handle it?
Community Manager Dark0ne Posted January 28, 2016 Community Manager Posted January 28, 2016 What was your google search for? What was the search term?
SephDragoon Posted January 28, 2016 Author Posted January 28, 2016 I was looking up "Fallout 4" "Research Projects" mod to see if it showed up anywhere else. I had noticed that my mod was on several pages I never uploaded it to, and I still can't get removed from.
Community Manager Dark0ne Posted January 28, 2016 Community Manager Posted January 28, 2016 We've done some "creative" work in the background to try and prevent this sort of scraping from happening. For example...
SephDragoon Posted January 28, 2016 Author Posted January 28, 2016 That is awesome! I don't even know how you guys did that, but that's pretty awesome. Well, as long as you guys have it under control then. ^_^
SephDragoon Posted January 28, 2016 Author Posted January 28, 2016 Sadly, the URL still redirects to their site, not to yours, I imagine because they replace all on the URL.
Community Manager Dark0ne Posted January 28, 2016 Community Manager Posted January 28, 2016 Yeah we fixed that for anything else they cache from now on by using a URL shortener ;)
SephDragoon Posted January 28, 2016 Author Posted January 28, 2016 Sweet. Glad you caught it too then.
