I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I miss the days of never even thinking of paying for a mod, when making a mod was simply for fun so you could share with others.

Sad sad world we live in now a days where even being asked to mod for free is seen as wrong, because any time not spent on a paying job means you very well could be going hungry.

If anyone else just wanted this article to get to the fucking point already, here is the original nexus post:

This is actually amazing, I don't understand what the other comments on this Lemmy post are about/if they even read this post on Nexus.

To summarize:

  • no incomplete free versions of paid mods
  • no patches for paid mods on a site for free mods
  • no modpacks that require paid mods
  • only limited advertising of paid mods

This is extremely levelheaded. I think other's might just read this headline and think they are introducing paid mods, but they don't!

Paid mods is ok as long as 100% goes to the modder

You also need to verify that the modder isn't stealing another modder's work, which can be challenging.

Sure, but solvable
