Nyeslaanesh Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Hi, Good day to everyone, I've got a naïve question, and I don't really know where to ask for it, so . . . why do mods get removed?I understand that some mods break Intellectual Property rules and hence removed, and some break rules regarding appropriate content, but there's still a lot of mod I see that still gets removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVampireDante Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 We have a list of the usual sorts of things that would cause a mod to be removed. It's part of our Terms and Policies setup: https://help.nexusmods.com/article/28-file-submission-guidelines - If any uploaded file breaks one or more of the regulations listed there, it may be removed. Basically, any material stolen from other modders, misused copyright content or works deemed too offensive or roaming into illegal territory won't be acceptable and will be removed. Also anything dangerous/designed to cause damage to people's games/systems will be taken down. There's also the possibility that a mod's creator/uploader has removed it themselves. In which case you'd need to ask them if they were willing to explain why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's this one youtuber I found out about that disguised what could be considered literal malware and left it in a public forum. People's grenades dropped right beside them when thrown, they would accidentally kill team members by shooting them, ammunition would fail and jam, it was a mess; it even saved replays of the "cheaters" most embarrassing moments which then got sent back to the malicious modder.

Adventurer1111 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 TheVampireDante - Do mods get removed based on age also? I feel like I just saw a clean up based on the time since last update but can't be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
