WastelandAssassin Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 I'm really having a hard time understanding how you've managed to miss my previous post , which directly answered the one claim you are makingso I'll just rephrase it (you can go back to page 5 and read the full post) point is , yes there could be a case where users abuse the blocking systemin such a case , you should report them to the staff , so that we can take a look and take whatever action we deem fittingand in your case where you can no longer get in contact with the author , you can ask the staff to mediate for you (I would gladly send a PM on your behalf , if I felt it was appropriate)but the fact that the system could be abused does not mean it is being abused , and it does not make the system obsolete or pointless . it just means it requires some moderation (and luckily , this site has a wonderful and diligent moderation team , which I am proud to be a part of) so putting your situation completely aside , the system is here for a reason , and will probably stay (though that is not up to me to decide , obviously)but everyone always have the option to ask the staff for help , if they feel any system is being abused , or if someone is behaving in an inappropriate mannerthat is one of the reasons why we , the staff , are here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYou Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 The system works perfectly well, which is amply demonstrated by this thread...... it isn't 'outdated', or giving excessive power to the mod authors. Can it be abused? Sure. IS it being abused? Not really. And most certainly not, in this particular case. What we have here is, a person that screwed up, and is now trying to blame the system for the consequences of his own actions. It really doesn't matter what anyone (everyone....) else is saying, the OP firmly believes he is 'right', and nothing anyone says is going to convince him any different. Considering how often this topic comes up, (and for pretty much the exact same reasons......) I am surprised that staff here even bother with them any more. Is it just the mental exercise of debating (yet again...) the merits of a system that works as intended??? Somehow, I don't think Robin goes out of his way to recruit masochists for moderators.......

Arthmoor Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 You'd probably have to take up a situation where you said nothing wrong and got blocked anyway with the staff, despite what the block message says. They have already said, even in this thread, that someone legitimately abusing the system could get taken to task for that. That person wasn't OP obviously, but still. An author can only block someone from their content if they have commented in one of their mod threads. So if you never post anything in their threads, they can't block you.I see thanks. I must have missed that in the topic, will check through again. Actually your post earlier that you had been file blocked is what got me curious about "what if somebody got blocked but did nothing wrong?"(Unless I am mistaken and you are just referencing from memory what it says from another case or I'd misinterpreted) I totally 100% understand trolls & flamers getting blocked but IMO it kind of sucks if a positive contributing member gets file blocked without any reason. I'm sure he thinks blocking me for reporting bugs and correcting compatibility misinformation was a good reason, but I'm not too worried about it. He's treated everyone else who did so just as badly and it's earned him a hugely negative reputation for covering things up at this point. So he can continue to block me if he wants, it doesn't bother me. I only mentioned it because aphilion thought the message was rude and apparently thinks I've ignored it because I don't agree with him. @aphilion: Not gonna even try to quote your use of red text, so I'll just say this: When everyone in the thread including staff and the site owner are telling you you're in the wrong, simple logic suggests you just might be. Maybe you should consider that instead of continuing to try and insult everyone here by implying they're uneducated barbarians for not agreeing with you.

Deleted82156User Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Now that I have got the right thread..lol When I saw which mod author it was I knew that there must be a reasonable reason behind the block. RedRocketTV has always, in my experience and dealings, been a calm and friendly individual, not given to over reaction or vindictive behavior in any way. I also need to point out that the OP here keeps saying that RedRocketTV responded with a 'NO', when the fact is that he responded with a simple...'No'. There is a huge difference and I think that the OP is putting their interpretation on it, fueled with the outrage and insult at being blocked and taking personal insult from it. We are not trying to gang up on you OP, just get to the bottom of the situation. You challenged the mod author to explain their personal reasons and motivations for not uploading to Bethesda.net, this may have been interpreted as a demand for an explanation because what they were doing was perceived to be unreasonable. I have had this myself many times, people coming along with a 'well why won't you do this or that..' as though I have to justify myself and my actions and it can get annoying. But really...reflect a bit and consider how you felt and reacted the last time someone called you 'a dick'. Is that someone that you would care to be around.....? I doubt it.

So he can continue to block me if he wants, it doesn't bother me. I only mentioned it because aphilion thought the message was rude and apparently thinks I've ignored it because I don't agree with him. You have been blocked because you called me a "dick" and an "ass" when I asked you to stop making false statements regarding the features of one of my mod (Immersive Citizens). For people who don't know, Arthmoor is butthurt since the time I refused to help him to improve his mod 'Run for your lives" and to explain him how I fixed specific some AI bugs in Skyrim. This led him to regularly make false statements regarding my mods or to try to ruin my reputation by spamming the community with false and libelous statements on me (the message I quoted is a good example). Another good example is the mod description of Run for your lives where he tries to justify the use of Run for your lives with Immersive Citizens by making false statements on some features from Immersive Citizens despite the fact I explained him in details why his statements are incorrect. The following screen (https://s8.postimg.cc/vdjmuav6d/Capture.png) shows an attempt to have a talk with Arthmoor regarding this matter and explains why his statements are incorrect, note that this conversation has been deleted and he blocked me for bringing this on a public place. Arthmoor, you are probably one of the less suited individual in this community to comment the reputation of other individuals, you are well known to insult mod authors who are not agree with you in the private section of this forum or to make false statements regarding other mods or third parties tools (MO, ENB), you have even been caught making false statements on other mods by the staff (an example: https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/4977330-so-can-we-do-something-about-this-fake-mod-thats-been-up-for-years/page-5&do=findComment&comment=43599045). Even if I tried very hard, I'm not sure if I could get a reputation as bad as yours. By you action you just justify your ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
