Banned for using a XBOX 360 copy

Yesterday I received a message from an individual about being treated very unfairly on NexusMods. He owned a copy of the Elder Scrolls Skyrim game on the Xbox 360 and was trying to get support.

Nightspectre420: How do I reach the gray beards am usin a xbox copy but it keeps crashin every time i get near the mountain?

Nightspectre420: I bought another copy but it keeps crashin every time

Lady Milla: I don't have time for thieves, you are banned.

From the sounds of it the administrators are randomly banning anybody for using a Xbox copy. I knew they banned anyone who admitted to using a crack but this is yet another example of the brutal regime which exists on NexusMods.

Alleged Pirate

This user was allegedly banned for pirating the Fallout New Vegas game. The claim that the user illegally downloaded Fallout New Vegas is sketchy at best. The user could of been talking about anything. The torrent network contains hundreds of thousands of legal files such as Linux distros and Freeware applications. Any use of the torrent keyword on the site usually results in an unfair ban.

Hidden evidence

This recent ban was quite worrying. The user was given a warning however the evidence is located within a restricted part of the site which can't be accessed. Many individuals have been given warnings on the NexusMods site unfairly. It's quite worrying to see that the evidence that was used to warrant the warning is unaccessible. How many other people have been banned or warned unfairly?

Another Ban

This user was banned for obvious reasons but its another example of the hatred and resentment towards Dark0ne and the other memebers of staff on evil NexusMods website.

XCOM Nexus Mods

It has been widely speculated that the Nexus Mod Manager (NMM) looks for pirated versions of Skyrim.

From a recent comment on a popular website any mods downloaded for the XCOM Enemy Unknown game scan the file size of the main executable. If a crack is detected the keyboard input on the game is disabled preventing anyone from playing it.

With his goal to stop pirates it seems Dark0ne is resorting to more drastic methods to deter people from pirating games.

Another ban

Repeated reupload of images featuring illegally sourced content and game rips in the Skyrim imageshare.
