nexus hate?

[amycus]

I dont think that it is because thenexus has harsher rules than most other sites, its just that the moderators here are (which I as a modder is very thankful for) a lot quicker to enforce them.

Don't have the internet? Don't buy (license, actually, often with some fairly heavy restrictions) games that require the internet.

The difference being that TES 1, 2, 3, 4 and FO3 did not require this then bam, now it does. It's not as if this series has been like this all along. It's frustrating when those of us who don't have the web to play games like WOW etc to have Bethsoft games as a haven for nearly unlimited rpg content.

 

I feel that these concessions for security keep going further and further and the attitude of compromise on the part of the user keeps getting broader. Where do we draw the line? It's only going to get worse.

 

Not to mention as I have pointed out, these steps do NOTHING to stop pirates. Having gone to several universities I've seen people crack apps which required usb key or phone validation in seconds. It actually takes longer to activate and install Steam than it would be to replace a cracked .exe. I'm not condoning this behavior, as I have said, I love Bethsoft games and fully support them. However one has to question the logic of a DRM that does nothing to stop pirating but inconveniences and sometimes all together stops legit end users from enjoying your product.

 

It seems though that we will just have a difference of opinion on the matter. You're free, of course, to reply but I've said my part and will concede. I mean no disrespect but this is a topic that has left me with great frustration.

Steam can not prevent single-player games from being fully cracked, incl. Skyrim.

 

I bought Dungeon Defenders on Steam, then a month later (and after several large updates that I could not opt out of) they actually REMOVED content from the game without warning.

Yeah, I didn’t read the Terms & Conditions. I buy software, I expect it to stay on my hard drive in its entirety.

 

Following on previous comments on the practices of large corporations, the trend is for them to sell less and less of anything of substance and use the law , which they influence, to deceive people off their $$.

 

As regards this site, obssessively listing the many people you ban every day, along with their offenses, does not reflect well on you.

Knee-jerk banning coud eventually backfire as you create more and more enemies.

 

Several good modders I have seen were themselves banned over what seems like petty reasons, more to do with people's egos than anything else.

 

Hey, your site, you do what you like, not complaining and thank for all the mods.

 

SOPA/PIPA is dead, BTW.

You would rather people be banned in silence with no explanation for what they did wrong? Think the conspiracy theories were bad now, imagine how bad it'd be if people suddenly were complaining, "This guy was here yesterday and now he isn't. I know you admins have a grudge!"

It's called "transparency". Noone can question the moderators' actions, as they're completely open to the public.

Proof or it didn't happen. I've read this same sentence far too often now, always without any sign of a proof. The ego of one modder being hurt doesn't get you banned around here. It's the way in which this was achieved which turns one into a burden for the community.

I wanted to bring some peace to this place but i leave it be. Silence douses the flames, not words. Edited January 21, 2012 by olafreinhardweyer

Seems to me that the only people who "hate on" Nexus are the ones who have been banned.

 

Easiest way to not get banned is to not say anything at all if you can't say something polite or constructive, at the very least. People are on here with thousands of posts who have not been banned. Must be doing it right.

 

As far as posting everyone who's been banned goes, you don't have to read it. I like to think of it as teaching by example. Then again, I'm no admin. ;)

 

@olafreinhardweyer - words to live by.

I believe the egos in question were those of the admins. Face it: There have always been battles between those who create and those who enable them to be. Creators suffer not being independent and admins suffer not being in the position to be creative big time. So the bottom line is: We envy each other and instead of being productive we figth. How very futile.

 

Really, if you check you will find that most of the staff are in fact contributors to the modding community, You sir are a hypocrite.

I noticed that myself and have edited my post. Look at the time stamps :)

PS: I am a german and my childish outlook is that of dualism and holism. Sometimes one forgets how childish it is, you can see both aspects - dualism and holism - hinted at in my quoted post. So, my apologies, i hope you accept. If you do, i like to hear that. If not, that to.

No problem at all, we all have opinions.
