hector530 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 a lot of hate comes from people who were banned and want to somehow get back at the mods or dark one. usually on most sites when people get banned they make a new account, on nexus they rage about getting banned.

dazzerfong Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Some of it is rational (I have some qualms about some strange bannings and all, even when they happened in front of my face), but most of it is unfounded (ie. piracy). Don't pirates have the common sense to keep that to themselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboUK Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I came across a thread on a forum yesterday that was filled with arsehats who'd got themselves banned, needless to say it was everybody elses fault but their own. http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/2781/therapyz.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWolf Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 If only they had learned to place wicker baskets on the moderator's head. They could have avoided a ban to the knee. I do admit I'm surprised this site manages to survive so well when it's so stringently anti-piracy, but I'm not complaining. Plus it's fun to read the ban logs. :teehee: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyMilla Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I do admit I'm not surprised that this site manages to survive so well when because it's so stringently anti-piracy Fixed it for you. I have no experience on the online advertisement market, but I bet with a legally clean site it is much easier to find advertisers to cover your costs of operation. A few low-profile backwater sites that can be run on pocket money may succeed in staying below the radar, but a high-profile site must stay clean. As soon as your size as a business grows to a certain magnitude, your competitors will not refrain from frivolous tactics to make your life difficult. And sometimes even small sites are targeted (for example, in one of the forum threads debating the anti-SOPA blackout campaign it was mentioned that a small blog received a DMCA take-down notice because of a single game-play video that showed the "Killable Children" mod in action.). I doubt that Nexus members would be pleased if Dark0ne had to introduce subscription based membership in order to pay for legal costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWolf Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) No, you misunderstand me. It's one thing for a site to follow the law and remove content they receive notices about in a timely fashion, and it's an entirely different thing to take it as far as the Nexus has. In a dozen years of using mod sites I haven't seen a single site remove offending content so quickly (without angry lawyers involved) and punish people so harshly as I have here. This site is an anomaly. That's why you get pirates coming on here, saying they're pirates, and getting banned in their first 30 minutes. Nowhere else does that, so they never expect a ban when doing so. Well, nowhere else I know. Edited January 21, 2012 by NorthWolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sync182 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Plus it's fun to read the ban logs. :teehee: I enjoy reading the ban logs, too. I read them for sh--s and giggles. :whistling: Because, at the end of the day...it's so easy to not get banned. :facepalm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWolf Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Pretty much. I'm just amazed at the never ending stream of people that come in and immediately post about their pirated copy not working. You'd nearly expect them to just dry up one day, but... nope.
