I've had a look at a few that are still saved in Google's cache and yup, lots of the mods were petty, the memes some used as thumbnails were stupid, and yeah, I saw photographs of corpses and one of the Kenosha shooting victims. They also deleted the previous few days of infringing mods, going back from October 1st to September 28th.
Nexus plan to review this policy at some point after the inauguration, which is scheduled for 20th of January, 2021. We have neither the time, the care or the wish to moderate such things." "Considering the low quality of the mods being uploaded, the polarising views they express and the fact that a small but vocal contingent of our users are seemingly not intelligent or grown up enough to be able to debate the issues without resorting to name calling and baseless accusations without proof (indicative of the wider issues plaguing our world at this time) we've decided to wipe our hands clean of this mess and invoke an outright ban on mods relating to sociopolitical issues in the United States. They say they expect this to increase in the run-up to November's election, because it happened four years ago too, and they don't want to deal with it.
"Recently we have seen a spate of provocative and troll mods being uploaded based around current sociopolitical issues in the United States," Nexus owner "Dark0ne" explained in Thursday's announcement. So if people can't behave, they'll allow no US politics on the Nexus until the presidential election is well and truly settled. "Most of these mods are being uploaded by cowards with sock puppet accounts deliberately to try and cause a stir," the site's admins say. This came after a flurry of "provocative and troll mods" doing things like renaming Fallout 4's raiders to "Antifa", "Trump Supporter", or "BLM 'Protester'", some being uploaded with photographs of corpses. Nexus Mods, a site hosting mods for squillions of PC games, have temporarily banned people from uploading mods related to socio-political issues of the USA.
