Clear even she is really a great modder and has a real talent to create nice things, may be like some others here, i'm dislike her communication. It is a personnal feeling.

Anyway, nice to see her to have this AMA ;-)

Excellent content she creates though, so if you enjoy it and have questions about it, be respectful and nice! ;)

Im not trying to be insulting, but if you google this, you'll see its a well known fact about Finnish Culture. I love her mods though, doesnt diminish her ability!

Except Lena would be correct.

I am new to the community. F04 was my first PC game. I have been a console player since Atari. What drew me to PC was the plethora of mods that authors make available for free to me to enhance my gameplay. I don’t know mod authors by name as many of you do.

What I do know is the talents of authors like Elianora, DDProductions83, Caliente, Osinus and many others have made my gameplay much more enjoyable. The time and effort all good modders put into their work must be staggering. Their creativity and attention to details that Bethesda sometimes overlooks just blows my mind.

I really cannot understand how any mod user would openly criticize an author’s work. I imagine most think they are providing feedback, but IMHO, comments other than bug reports and Kudo’s for the work they willingly share, are uncalled for.

If I don’t like a mod I don’t use it, but I have the utmost respect for the authors and want to thank all of them for sharing their work.

Thats what's always kind of astonished me about Elinora, first off was how completely hostile she is to the slightest bit of criticism, and how she takes advantage of The Nexus' complete lack of involvement and interference with individual bans from an authors content,


in other words. An author can choose to ban individuals from their stuff. and Nexus won't do anything about it, and they say you have to sort it out with them. She takes full advantage of that and bounces anyone who even so much as breathes funny on her it seems.

And, I'm not grumbling about getting my ban, I really could care less. There's never been anything she's made that ever remotely interested me, and I'll gladly take a personal ban if it means higlighting some extremley cancerous behaivor from a "top modder"

I'm just really surprised to see that she is STILL doing it.

Elianora isn't selling anything, so your analogy is completely moot. The Nexus is not a storefront. It's not a seller/consumer environment -- at all. If it was then yes, of course, there would need to be some accountability and I'm sure Elianora and others would understand that and revise how they choose to respond to the more negative elements of the community more accordingly. But it's not, so there's no point even discussing that line of thought.

Relevant analogies to the Nexus are free content distribution platforms. YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and so on. Guess what they all have in common with the Nexus? They provide the original authors of content with the tools to moderate their own content how they see fit.

And, I'm not grumbling about getting my ban, I really could care less. There's never been anything she's made that ever remotely interested me, and I'll gladly take a personal ban if it means higlighting some extremley cancerous behaivor from a "top modder"

If you don't care about her content, how did you even manage to get a ban? What were you doing on her pages in the first place? Seems really silly to me. Why waste your time if you don't care? That's a rhetorical question, really. You obviously do care, else you wouldn't be mentioning it here trying to "out" her. So lets just move on, and stop being silly.

There's no reason authors can't be a little more respectful and less rude to their users. If "you have nothing nice to say, then don't say it" should be reminded to anyone, be sure to remind the authors too. No reason for the rudeness, if the users get on their nerves it isn't hard to ignore them or delete the comment. You'd think they would be more kind and helpful, it's unfortunate that finding a kind and helpful author here is like finding a needle in a haystack.

I suppose the most simple solution for common users is to not engage with people here anymore, just get your mods and run - because no matter what, it will always be their fault. Sad to see this is where we're at now.

Then again, no one can really do anything here. Authors will continue to be arrogant asses, users will continue to be ignorant asses. Just a shame the users get a punch in the face for something harmless while authors are given a trophy for being pricks.

And, sadly, she is inside. A good way will be for her to change all her mod pages and remove agressive contains, disclamers, etc.

Look yourself : http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/2829/? and it is not the only one.

It only gives a bad picture for both, authors and users. Is it good to be like that ?

Most of the most "prolific" authors are habitual offenders of policies that would have resulted in permabans for any single user, yet they are shielded by the site owner and moderators, because those authors generate clicks (ad revenue) for the site. It's a massively hypocritical and transpartent double-standard.

There are exceptions, of course. Not every single "prolific" mod author is a jerk. I would never lump someone like Chesko in that category, because he goes out of his way to be courteous, even when a user is trying to flame him. Even at his worst (which rarely happens), he still treats people the way I can only imagine he wants to be treated himself.

A philosophy I wish other mod authors would adapt. Users as well, if I'm honest.

Yeah no, I'm not going to accept that authors can have free reign to be rude and obnoxious where users have to kiss their feet and that we should feel thankful for their mods when it comes at the cost of them throwing fits and getting away with it.

@ Dark0ne

The analogy to a seller/buyer, still applies. just with author/end user

Also, she banned me from her page after I looked at one of her compliation mods and made a comment on her attitide. AFTER that, I couldnt care less about her content.

So I insist, I don't really care. I had forgotten she existed until this came up, and when I saw others complaining that she's a toxic individual. I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon too.


All in all, I saw a comment someone made about thinking most people should just treat Nexus as a "pick up and go", get your mods and get out, because the community here is surprising toxic. I'm still laughing at that guy who shut down all of his mods to Protest Donald Trump during the US election on the Skyrim Nexus Edited January 7, 2017 by Kastrenzo

Most of the most "prolific" authors are habitual offenders of policies that would have resulted in permabans for any single user, yet they are shielded by the site owner and moderators, because those authors generate clicks (ad revenue) for the site. It's a massively hypocritical and transpartent double-standard.

There are exceptions, of course. Not every single "prolific" mod author is a jerk. I would never lump someone like Chesko in that category, because he goes out of his way to be courteous, even when a user is trying to flame him. Even at his worst (which rarely happens), he still treats people the way I can only imagine he wants to be treated himself.

A philosophy I wish other mod authors would adapt. Users as well, if I'm honest.

@ Dark0ne

The analogy to a seller/buyer, still applies. just with author/end user

Also, she banned me from her page after I looked at one of her compliation mods and made a comment on her attitide. AFTER that, I couldnt care less about her content.

So I insist, I don't really care. I had forgotten she existed until this came up, and when I saw others complaining that she's a toxic individual. I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon too.


All in all, I saw a comment someone made about thinking most people should just treat Nexus as a "pick up and go", get your mods and get out, because the community here is surprising toxic. I'm still laughing at that guy who shut down all of his mods to Protest Donald Trump during the US election on the Skyrim Nexus

@Kevin Careful now, you're speaking a lot of truth. wouldn't want the law to take notice.


@Dark0ne and moderation in general - I think you really just need to acknowledge, whether to yourself, or to the public, that you decided to feature a very controversial author. That's really all that this is.

The time and effort all good modders put into their work must be staggering. Their creativity and attention to details that Bethesda sometimes overlooks just blows my mind.
I really cannot understand how any mod user would openly criticize an author’s work. I imagine most think they are providing feedback, but IMHO, comments other than bug reports and Kudo’s for the work they willingly share, are uncalled for.
If I don’t like a mod I don’t use it, but I have the utmost respect for the authors and want to thank all of them for sharing their work.

Criticism will be there regardless if it's publicly shared. I think opinions do matter when they count and I'm not meaning bug reports. f*#@ I've asked my art work to be critiqued where I can. There is a difference from a douche and an actual good idea in critique. So there are those who have an idea or thoughts they want to share because the may actually enjoy the mod they just want it to be better. You see that passion in some decent Video game/Movie Reviews. Again it's just striking the right balance in their commentary I just disagree that people need to remain in their safe boxes.

[killgore]

she's not arrogant she's an artist

she creates something then moves on to something else something new

she does it for free, she doesn't want negativity for it which is pretty normal

 

people ask way too much of modders it's free and made on their own time !

When a company sells you something they have a designer, a maker, a vendor, someone to take comments, another one taking care of problems and returns and you want and ask for all of that from one person which gives you new content for FREE, maybe think about that

 

Finland the country of Tommi Mäkinen, Marcus Grönholm and...........Elianora yay :D

I disagree in regards to criticism. Feedback, bug reports, yes.. they're justified, but criticism? Would you criticize the knitted jumper that granny made you for Christmas? It's the same thing. Mods are gifts, not products open to consumer's criticism.

It'd be much more productive if those who feel the right to criticize just bit their tongue and actually started making mods themselves. It's that simple.
