People hate NexusMods

A short video explaining why the NexusMods website is taking so long to load lately. It's clear that the members of staff at NexusMods have upset a lot of individuals. The site has been under a sustained DDoS attack for the last few weeks. When you insist on banning people just for expressing their views you are bound to make them angry.

What's up with the (Skyrim) Nexus

NexusMods and Homophobia

Homophobia

This ban was long overdue. Kendo had stalked and harassed members on the nexus forums for years.

One of my good friends dezdimona was often persecuted by Kendo just because she was transgender. Over several years he stalked dezdimona on nearly every website she visited. In the end she had to change her username and even her phone number. Kendo lives in Texas and had allegedly phoned her up on several occasions. Dezdimona is no longer with us due to cancer. Kendo had previously been banned in the past and this was his second account.

Several users have highlighted that they were abused for being homosexual or transgender. In this instance I actually applaud Vampire Dante for banning this individual, it was long over due. Hopefully Kendo will not get reinstated this time.

Reason for the ban
  • Arguing with staff
  • Harassment of site staff
  • Attempting to dictate how the site is run
You had been here long enough to know that trying to dictate to the staff how we do things was never going to do anything but land you in trouble.

Deciding to push your personal disagreements on one of our staff, and to imply that any action taken by the staff here is done due to some personal agenda or dislike of yourself or your political stance is both insulting and wrong.

You don't agree with the rules here, and how they are processed and instigated - fine. In most circumstances I would simply ask you to leave if you wished. Seeing as how you prefer people to be definitive in their actions and be honest with you, I will be. You have become the problem you suspected we thought you were - your attitude towards us and how we carry out our duties on site was both aggressive and foolish, you handled the matter terribly. Instead of contacting Robin with your concerns, you decided to pick and push at us until someone pushed back.

So here I am pushing you, and your files out the door. Take your toys and do not darken our doorstep again.

Over the top

Another absolutely crazy ban. In this instance the user was simply banned because his user name contained a reference to cannabis.
