Hexxagone Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 How many modders are actually going to update or rebuild their 4 year old mods just to have them stolen and put on Bethesda.Net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N7R Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 If a mod is found to be stolen the person stealing it will have their steam account banned to uploading any more files to Bethesda.net. In order to upload any mods to that site the user must also own on their steam profile a copy of Skyrim Special Edition .... so if someone really wants to steal mods over and over again they would have to rebuy Skyrim over and over again. I think this is going to greatly deter users from stealing mods and uploading them to Bethesda.net without permission from an author first unless they like the idea of risking getting their privileges of uploading revoked.

To be honest thieves should be locked out of the Beth site entirely if found, not just from uploading content but downloading anything as well.

Words well written people work hard on their stuff and are generous enough to share that should not and cannot be taken lightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't seem like they have a ban hammer in place yet. I'm not sure where they bought that forum software or if they made it themselves but it's obviously lacking. They really seem to be racing towards the finish line with fallout, releasing patches, modes and dlc monthly since the game came out. Hopefully, they are racing so they can get to the fixing but truthfully, their timing seems haphazard and their actions seem weirdly frantic.
