seventhlight Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I was wondering if its legal to solicit someone to build a mod for me/ the community. Can anyone enlighten me on this subject? I'm looking to pay a bit of money (negotiable) to add a working item to the game for me and the community to use. What are your thoughts? Any potentially interested parties?

M48A5 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I would direct your attention to the Terms of Service, in particular this sentence: "Spam, flooding, advertisements, chain letters, pyramid schemes, and solicitations are not allowed on any Nexus sites."

seventhlight Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 Thank you for the notice, but its Skyrim mod related. Its not like I'm spamming Viagra (lol) ads or anything. Its not as much of a solicitation as to a question about whether its possible or legal to do so elsewhere (if not allowed here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triaxx2 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 It's legal, since what you're buying is the service, not the mod. However, not here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thandal Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 The only thing allowed on the Nexus that comes close is the ability for modders to enable voluntary donations (via PayPal) on their mod pages and/or profiles. From the last item in the Terms of Service: Donations In March of 2012 a donations system was added to the Nexus sites that allows users to specify a Pay Pal address to accept voluntary donations through. Included in this system are two locations where users can donate to your account from; your profile and your mod pages. Donations are classed as completely voluntary monetary transactions that yield no gain for the donator. That means that donations should only ever be offered as a way of thanking other users and never in exchange for services, support or perks on the site or with files. Users are not allowed in any way, shape, or form to offer their files, services or support to other users in exchange for donations on the Nexus. If people are found in breach of this then you can expect to be banned. We have a 100% no solicitation rule in regards to donations. This means that you cannot request users donate to you anywhere on the site including on your profile, in your file or image descriptions, via images, forum comments or private messages other than by selecting from the already existing donation options in your preferences area on Nexus sites. If you are caught asking for donations anywhere on the site you are subject to receive a strike or an out-right ban depending on the severity of the breach of rules and on past warnings. Such strikes or warnings are handled based on the moderating staff member's own discretion.So, while an author can make it possible for you to donate, you may not offer to "pay for work", and they may not offer to "work for pay".

bben46 Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Have you tried requesting it? There is no charge for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
