Glass1411 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) "No-Ads" for Mod Authors is no longer accurate. Mod Authors are not "Premium" users and you will be reminded of this in the with a full page add when you go to download any mod including your own.Paying for Supporter status because it will give you an "Ad-Free" experience across all sites, doesn't mean you're "Premium" so again you will be reminded with a full page ad.

So... Thanks Steve, I see my mistake. "No-Ads" for Mod Authors is no longer accurate.The Mod Author (Status, Group, Category) is not equal to the "Premium" (Status, Group, Category) and you will be reminded of this with a full page ad to purchase "Premium" when you go to download any mod including your own.Paying for Supporter status because it will give you an "Ad-Free" experience across all sites, doesn't mean you're "Premium" so again you will be reminded with a full page ad.

FrankFamily Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) Like in the other thread, I think its generally understood that when a site refers to ads they mean advertisement of third-party services and products, not promotion of their own service in the form of premium memberships. To be clear, I dont like the slow download/fast download thing at all. But saying that "ad-free" is now not accurate or, as another user did, that they are breaching contracts is a bit of a stretch in my opinion.

steve40 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Arguably, the membership and Vortex "ads" are Public Service Announcements, not commercial advertising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is and always has been a small banner on the bottom of every mod page that advertises their "Premium" service.A full page Ad for a Premium service which offers higher download speeds is not a Public Service Announcement particularly when we were obviously presented that option when we purchased the "Ad-Free" "Supporter" option.

While I interpret "ad-free" in the context of Nexus to mean "no third-party advertising", I can see why some would be annoyed by the ads (yes, I concede that they are) for premium membership on the download pages etc. It's clear that the definition of "ad-free for supporters/mod authors" etc needs to be revised, and ideally, less intrusive advertising of paid services for Supporters/mod authors would be the way to go, given the original promise of "ad-free" with no fine print.
