| Jan 22, 2023 at 3:19 | comment | added | Ismael Miguel | I think that this type of question might be better suited for webapps.stackexchange.com. Or maybe skeptics.stackexchange.com like how Mazura said. Depending on the exact question you want to ask. But whichever you think is more appropriate, be sure to read the help section and which questions are indeed on-topic there. | |
| Jan 18, 2023 at 10:30 | comment | added | Joachim | @Mazura Did you actually read the question and its comments, properly? That description was about NexusMods, I admitted I haven't found a proper question to begin with, and it certainly wasn't "how does [this site] work?", I never claimed it is an auxiliary service "like Steam", but it definitely is an auxiliary service to modding gamers. "And I've never even seen a question about any of the 700 mods I have between F4 and Skyrim"—despite that not at all being what this is about, have you ever visited our main site? :D | |
| Jan 18, 2023 at 8:16 | comment | added | user2357112 | @Mazura: You're prematurely accusing the questioner of wanting to rant, but your comments come off as ranting far more than anything in this question or the proposed main site question. (Also, the Skeptics site is absolutely not an appropriate site for asking arbitrary questions about how websites treat their users. It's for fact-checking notable claims.) | |
| Jan 18, 2023 at 4:07 | comment | added | Mazura | Will questions on the [inner] workings of NexusMods[.com] be on-topic here? No. Try Skeptics.SE | |
| Jan 18, 2023 at 4:04 | comment | added | Mazura | "this website acts as a hub between modding gamers and modders" no it doesn't. For Minecraft, thank god, it's specifically off-topic. And I've never even seen a question about any of the 700 mods I have between F4 and Skyrim. | |
| Jan 18, 2023 at 4:04 | comment | added | Mazura | How does [this web site] work, is not a valid question on any SE, except asking about SE on SE. NM is not an "auxiliary service" like say Steam. It's a website that hosts files that you can DL for free. How would anything about how they treat their up-loaders be anything other than tangential to the game that the mod is for? You just want to rant about the BS going on over there and for some reason want to bring that toxicity here? | |

| Jan 5, 2023 at 14:59 | comment | added | Joachim | @TimmyJim Very good point! That was the intent behind the question, which indeed seems to make it off-topic. I guess I started thinking about such a question because I wanted to know the power such a website has over, or the implications it can have for modding gamers. But that would be way too broad a question. I'll ponder on the exact question :) | |
| Jan 5, 2023 at 13:55 | comment | added | Timmy Jim Mod | Can you provide at least the title of the question you would like to ask? With the information this post presents currently, I am somewhat leaning towards off-topic, since I don't think we can really speak to how a particular website treats their users. | |
