Saturn04 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) So, I've got a little question (obviously): As is mentioned in this news-post, a recognized mod author is "a user who has 1,000 or more total unique downloads on their files across one, or more, Nexus sites". Also, a bit more recently there was this news-post made, which states "This effectively means that if you have released at least one mod with 1,000 unique downloads or more, or several mods that have been downloaded 1,000 times in total, you will no longer be seeing ads on the site." Now, I am asking about this because I'm actually over 1000 unique downloads across all my mods for a little while already by now (not by much; but 1077 is definitely more than 1000), but I still get ads like normal and I also do not have access to (or can even see) that private forum for modders. So my question is... why? Edited January 22, 2020 by Saturn04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Hi Saturn, You'll get a full page alert when your "Mod Author" status is applied. It can sometimes take a little while after passing over 1000 unique. I'll look into it for you if it doesn't get applied in a couple of days :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturn04 Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) I'll look into it for you if it doesn't get applied in a couple of days :smile:Soooo... it has been almost two weeks now (longer than that since passing the threshold). My unique downloads are now at 1150. Still not a recognized mod author, though. So, can you look into it please? :smile: Edited February 4, 2020 by Saturn04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 We're looking into this. There does appear to be something not working right. Currently we're thinking it's only counting manual downloads on your files for your total count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturn04 Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) Aaah. Well; if really that is the issue, I assume it shouldn't be superhard to fix, since the site already (obviously) has a way of correctly counting all unique downloads; manual or not. Either way, I hope your devs will be able to fix this soon. Thanks for the update! :smile: Edited February 7, 2020 by Saturn04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted67195711User Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 If I recall correctly, it is 1000 unique downloads for one mod, or a total of 1000 unique downloads for multiple mods for the same game. From Dark0ne: ... their unique download count across all their files on one Nexus site has reached 1,000 downloads or more Each game used to have its own site. Given that each game is no longer it's own site, the admission criteria gets confusing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturn04 Posted February 7, 2020 Author Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) Each game used to have its own site. Given that each game is no longer it's own site, the admission criteria gets confusing.. That hasn't been the case in forever, though. It already wasn't the case when I've first registered my account here; and it definitely wasn't the case when those two posts I've linked were made; especially not the second one. If I recall correctly, it is 1000 unique downloads for one mod, or a total of 1000 unique downloads for multiple mods for the same game. Refer to my quote from the second post (the one where they've announced the removal of ads for recognised mod authors); it literally says "This effectively means that if you have released at least one mod with 1,000 unique downloads or more, or several mods that have been downloaded 1,000 times in total, you will no longer be seeing ads on the site." It does in no way say it has to be from the same game. Also, I think Pickysaurus, as a site Admin who's iirc working at the nexusmods headquarters (judging by that job at they had a while ago which indicated that all of their staff lives and works there), would know if that was the case and would thus certainly not be saying that something appears to not be working right and that they are looking into the issue.

Deleted67195711User Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I am sorry that the truth is not what you wanted to hear, and that upon hearing such truths you become angry and aggressive. I will remember this and next time I will tell you comforting lies instead of the harsh truth. PS. You will fit right in with GMAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturn04 Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) I am sorry that the truth is not what you wanted to hear, and that upon hearing such truths you become angry and aggressive.What the heck? I was simply telling you why I think you are obviously wrong; unless you want to claim you know better than a site Admin does. I also wasn't angry and/or aggressive in any way. Are you trolling? I will remember this and next time I will tell you comforting lies instead of the harsh truth.Okay; definitely trolling. Here; let me try this too: "I will remember this and next time try to include some fairies and unicorns when telling you that I think you are wrong." PS. You will fit right in with GMAD. According to urbandictionary, GMAD means "good music all day" (it's the only definition they have for that). No idea how that's related to this topic in any way, but hey... trolls do not WANT to make sense after all. With that being said; have a nice day! Hopefully. Ima go back to waiting for another update from Pickysaurus now. :smile: Edited February 9, 2020 by Saturn04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
