23 jan 2019: a big thanks to terry13143 of 3dmgame com letting me know that most of the links are now deleted! thank you for your support!
Hopefully it shows all internet users that it's worth not to surrender and trying to get in contact with each other to solve the problems together!
Thank you to all honest people for their support to respect each other!
it is ridiculous that some people think for unknown reasons they have the right to decide by themselves and without knowledge of the original author to create unauthorized site copies of other ones work and how it has to be treated and to be presented on some other site including unauthorized file upload an so on. i clearly say: no! you do not have the right to do that!
delete all your unautorized stuff instantly! if you want to support my mods ask me on nexusmods.com. you may pm me or use the mod threads.
the big problem in this case is, that i prefer direct contact to my modusers and direct feedback! my mods, especiallly my presets are a personal thing! i do not want, i do not ask for and i do not accept any 2nd or 3rd party sites between me and the users of my mods! and i do not accept or want anyone else who decides how to deal with my mods or the users of my mods! i do also need no undemanded support from anyone! so i hope my position is clear:
any content of my mods outside from nexusmods.com is definitely unauthorized if it is more than a reference or a link to my original mods on nexusmods.com. an exception is content explicitly authorized by me!
if someone has a problem he can directly ask here on nexusmods.com. each mod has it's own thread or threads for this purpose. i do not need and i do not want another uploader or site for that!
an important part of my motivation is to communicate directly and to get direct feedback from the gamers! this is a major reason and my motivation to create and optimize my mods!
and this is the main reason i do not allow uploads on any other site in almost all cases and so i have a big problem with disrespectful uploaders of my content. i'm sure every interested skyrim gamer, being able to install a game like skyrim, including all chinese and russian gamers, is able to use google translator and should be able to download my mods from nexusmods.com. if not, he can ask me or someone else helps! i'm not an english native too and it works somehow! if anybody asks me to support me with a translation or an idea to simplify downlods on nexusmods.com - why not ? if someone kindly asks to simplify things or help others with finding my mod files - that's ok! direct and constructive feedback is welcome - feel free!
but everything else concerning my mods, excluding private use, needs my permisson! otherwise it is a clear violation of ownership and a severe case of ignorance and disrespect even if it happens for the second time!
nexusmods.com offers the translated modmanager "vortex" for chinese and russian gamers. this should enable all these gamers to download all kind if mods on nexusmods.com even if their english is weak.
why do i not allow 3rd party copies and uploads of my mod packages? clear answer: because i do not know any good reason for that even if you do not try to convince me or ask at least! allowing it would lead in almost all cases to foreseeable spam while generating a bunch problems, other uploads from uploads and in most cases this mess will never be updated anymore if the commercial success is established or if the site fails.
3rd party uploaders not asking are only interested in their personal benefit, 3rd party sites in high download rates, a growing community and more advertising benefit. so they are obviously not interested in a mod itself or it's quality or in supporing the author. they normally pick always the mods already successful on the original site or with the potential for higher downlod rates or many endorsements. so i really do not understand why they copied my humble content!
i hope this thread will help to make modusers aware of what they download and where they download mods before more and more frustrated modders quit modding due to more and more 3rd party sites or disrespectful 3rd party uploaders working just for their own benefit while producing a mess of out of date files! it's quite simple: no free mods without motivated modders offering their mods for free...
since oct 2018 about 8 to 10 of my preset related mods or maybe more have been simply copied/uploaded to another site without asking or any permission . this means i finally can close my account because you can download all my stuff on the other site including endorsement and so on. there are even more sites or site users actiing in this rude way and from now on i'm tracking this from time to time!
it is just a side effect but by the way this uploader has generated more than 20000 downloads and 4000 endorsements in this last two month with my mods - if the numbers on the chinese site are correct!? and i wasn't even aware of that.
if your friends do not speak english invite them to use google or any other translator to create an account on nexusmods.com and you can use all my mods freely and download them here on nexusmods.com 24/7 for private, noncommercial use !
chinese: 如果您的朋友不会说英语并邀请他们使用Google或任何其他翻译人员在nexus上创建帐户，您可以自由使用我所有的mod并在nexusmods.com上全天下载！
russian: Если ваши друзья не говорят по-английски, предложите им использовать Google или любой другой переводчик для создания учетной записи на Nexus, и вы можете свободно использовать все мои моды и загружать их здесь на nexusmods.com 24/7 для частного некоммерческого использования!
don't trust any other sites and uploaders offering outdated copies of my mods. They do it 100% against my wish and without authorization while disrespecting me as the original author!
不要相信任何其他网站和上传者提供我的mod的过时副本。他们100％违背我的意愿并且未经授权而不尊重我作为原始作者！
не доверяйте никаким другим сайтам и загрузчикам, предлагающим устаревшие копии моих модов. Они делают это на 100% против моего желания и без разрешения, не уважая меня как первоначального автора!
thank you for watching and reading and to all faithful - i explicitly include all chinese and russian - modusers for the support over the years excluding the black sheeps!
感谢您的观看和阅读以及所有忠实的人 - 我明确地包括所有中国和俄罗斯 - 模块以支持多年来不包括黑羊！
Спасибо за просмотр и чтение, а также всем верующим - я явно включаю все
китайские и русские - модуляторы за поддержку на протяжении многих лет,
за исключением черных овец!

I deleted all mods related to you from mod.3dmgame.com through the console.
In the future, I will more attention to the mod related to you during the review.
If I find a mod related to you, I will delete it directly.
If I have any omissions, please contact me by email: mod@3dmgame.com?Because it will be a lot more efficient,I seldom come to nexusmods?
Finally, I am very sorry for bringing you troubles.

thank you for your email data.
it would be also a big help if you could place a mod abuse button without the account restriction on your site in english language. in this case i would be able to support you finding and solving such issues. it is impossible for me to create an account on a chinese site. thanks again for your support! this time i will not delete your reply to be able to reach you if necessary. to show my respect to you helping me to get rid of these dirty links kudos to you!
I feel bad for not being able to enjoy your mods but you must feel even worse for being robbed like this. Sorry dude I feel you. I just hope that the backstab didn't made you lose interest in Skyrim and I hope you still love the game and the nexus community.
Have a good day sir.
at the end i was really happy that the site admin of this site took care of my problem
As a consumer of the mods, I won't ever understand your frustration because I will never be in your position. I've always just been a leech. I am sure it is heartbreaking to see your work stolen. At the end of the day, however, it is YOUR work. The community supports you 100% and future employers can even see this as a portfolio.
It's frustrating for both you, the developer, and us, the members of the community, when your fantastic work is hidden. Too often have I come back to the game only to find my favorite mods hidden because of this same exact reason. I refuse to download them from a third party chinese knockoff site. It's incredibly disrespectful.
But that's why I ask that you unhide your content again. Im completely new to Oblivion modding. First day, never posted a thing I think. Only ever modded Skyrim for a few years. It's a tragedy when we lose Skyrim content because cheap Chinese knockoff sites ripoff the authors. And Im only here for some dumb rope mod I think, but I'll personally endorse every mod you've ever released. I'm sure there are plenty of new members to Oblivion modding who would appreciate your content.
Please reconsider, and thank you :)
if you as a consumer do not understand my frustration i give you an example:
you are happy parents of a sweet child and suddenly you see somewhere else the exactly same child - a twin - but nobody has asked or told you that your child has a clone, an unknown twin (maybe stolen after birth ? or technically cloned ?), educated by some fully unknown other parents. how would you think about this discovery and how would you feel ? sure this example is more drastic but i hope you better understand what's wrong with this situation! the main problem in both situations is, nobody has spoken with you and asked you or somehow shared this information before with you and you are gradually (in this case more completely) losing your faith...
if i share a mod, lets say a sweet female preset, with you - it's like a kind of a sweet baby mod, isn't it ?
if you watch the image (omit the letters) - it shows the face of my current katarina ningheim preset - do you really think my motivation to create this or my other presets has something to do with supporting slaughter or violence or upload abuse ? you guess right: nothing! it's more a kind of a taste related and an emotional thing i'm offering. clearly nothing i want or need a 3rd party site for, distributing these mods to others undemanded, instead of me, the author.
i will surely consider your wishes and be sure this pending situation will not last forever. but i hope you can wait patiently until we reach the goal that at least these listed dirty links with "unwanted clones" will be erased in the near future! your help and feedback is much appreciated and needed ! the problem in this case is that most downloaders on these sites are still not aware of these black sheeps and i want to change that at least regarding my mods.
my rope mods are surely already uploaded somewhere by some 3rd party clown... no seriously: i will reactivate my rope mods if you ask for that.
but it's a sensible case because i want to make the rediculously acting uploaders and potential sites aware that this can not be the way how things work!
and i'm really surpised and annoyed that a big site like 3dmgame.com seems to be still not aware whats going on. this is the only reason why my mods are still hidden.
so i will unhide my rope mods on your request. but be aware that if necessary i will hide my mods again temporaryly and also will revive this thread!
Hope 2019 will be a better year for you.
Keep up the good work
yes it's a shame and it makes no sense apart from showing disrespect to the mod owner and creating another outdated illegal, maybe crappy copy in the www!
i will get back to normal mode if this problem is fixed. cheers
all the best in 2019 for you too!
the sad thing is that all my mods are free for private use and nexusmods offers a 24/7 option for download. there is in my opinion no reason for uploads on other sites instead of using a link to nexusmods. the only reason to upload on other sites is to ignore the work and wishes of most authors and to distribute out of date, unmanageable, never updated and sometimes buggy or contaminated files of others to others.
But you just cant make this happen. Its not possible. And for theft, yeah it sucks, and its utterly respectless. I hate it. But its never going to stop. You cant force people to abide by one law.
I'm sorry to say it, though i sympitize for you. You either live with the fact that its happening or you dont.
i'm also sure nobody needs hundreds of out of date copies of a mod to download. the goal must be that one site hosts the original mod and all other sites could set a link without tolerating - unauthorized - uploads of mod copies.
i can wait a few month and then close my account - nobody would care because all my mods will be downloadable and endorsable on another site. maybe this is the best olution ? i will think about it.
