There are about 10 or 20 other blogs, articles and posts out there but I lost the links to all of them. People are really starting to become angry with the totalitarian system exhibited by the administrators on NexusMods.com

More people are being treated unfairly
I've just found another blog highlighting the rogue actions by the moderators over at nexusmods. This one is called Dear dark0ne from the NexusMods

Thank you for the highlight! I didn't get the comment soon enough because it was in my spam folder some how! :( I'll be sure to gander through some of your posts. I just unleashed a big one about SKSE however. It may not make people happy, but it's exactly the elitism and the cyberbullying I've been fighting against. Their silence about it just means acceptance. Which is sad. I hope they do something about it, I doubt it, but you can never have too much hope in these situations.
ReplyDeleteI've read your blog. Found it the same way I found this one.
DeleteMy opinions on the Nexus are less than favorable, but it's more of a personal hatred of a select few moderators than anything else. Hell, one of them stepped down because of all the hate they receive.
I totally get that moderators need to be strict, and they do a damn fine job of taking out the trash. But far, far too many innocents get caught int he crossfire and brought down as "trolls."
It's fucking unacceptable. I was a proud member of NexusMods, went into chat every night for six months and talked to the people who were my friends, in the capacity that online people can be. In my entire time there, I had gotten a single formal warning, which came from my linking of what I believed to be an image but was actually a gif. IT was of the dude's head exploding in scanners, relating to my reaction upon the announcement of Fallout 3.
Those were the only problems I ever had. I'd read the horror stories of people getting banned for nothing. A good friend of mine had been banned for using his brother's account, which should not be a rule at all considering they share a computer. But I thought I was in too deep, six months in where everyone knew who I was. I was in good with a few of the mods, and I had fun there in chat.
Then? One night, I was joking around with my friends on there as usual, and I noticed one of the moderators, Dr. Grimm, making passive-aggressive comments about a troll in the room. I thought nothing of it, as I was doing nothing of the sort.
Before too long, I was kicked from the chat room. Thinking it may have been a joke kick as mods sometimes do, I refreshed, only to find I had been banned from using chat.
I PM'd Dr. Grimm, who refused to reply, and revoked my private messaging. I had politely and calmly asked what I had done wrong, and he spat in my face, the pompous sonofabitch. My ban report said I'd been warned multiple times to stop trolling, and would not.
Bullshit. Fucking bullshit. That place was my home, and they shit on my doorstep for no goddamn reason. I did nothing wrong. I liked the community there, and they pushed me away from it.
So, after they failed to reply to my unban request, I brought myself back with an alternate account. But I just couldn't do it anymore. To my friends, I was just another stranger. I couldn't pretend to reform all the relationships, and so I blew my cover late at night when the moderators were out, expressed my frustration to the users on that night, and woke up to an IP ban.
To this day, I'm friends with at least two users on other websites and communicate with them regularly. It's fucked up that they'd ban me for doing absolutely nothing malicious, and then refuse to give me so much as an explanation.
My username is SharkToasty if you want to dig up the ban report. I'd link it but I'm blacklisted just about anywhere I frequent. Hell, even when I'm at new wi-fi I get an error message saying my brand new email I created for the sole purpose of an alt (for mod browsing and downloading only, of coarse. No point in going back to the community) has been associated with spam and cannot be used to create an account.
I never had a problem with Grimm before now, but what's been done is unacceptable. I am proud to hate the moderators of the Nexus Mods forum, and I am glad that there are blogs like this one and your own that support me in this. The Nexus is, in my opinion, the first and foremost in terms of both quality and quantity of mods for Bethesda games, but I cannot stand for what the moderators have made the community into.
We shouldn't have to be afraid to be social.
Fuckers.
