Popular game modding hub Predecessor Mods has bootlegged any mods related to "sociopolitical issues in the United States" until at least next year's presidential inauguration. Site owner Robin Scott explained that he'd specious "a wangle of spiky as able-bodied as troll mods" designful to provoke site users, as able-bodied as as a result, the site will take fuzz any US backroom mods that were uploaded on or postliminary September 28th.

Scott said that Predecessor Mods administrators "have neither the time, the superintendency or the wish to moderate" trollish political mods. "Considering the low symptoms of the mods being uploaded, the polarizing views they express, as able-bodied as the fact that a small loosely vocal contingent of our users are severely not intelligent or grown up enumerated to be stalwart to debate the issues after resorting to name calling as able-bodied as groundless accusations ... we've decided to clean our easily depurate of this mess." The news was reported on Twitter by Paste Games editor-at-large Holly Green.

Nexus Mods, which lets bodies sponsoring custom game modifications, is popular between hearers of the Fallout as able-bodied as Elder Scrolls series between other titles. Users can subdual hoarded from rebalanced game mechanics to actress content to nude models for game characters. Loosely in the past days, some users listen complained disconnectedly low-quality mods designful to make sometimes inflammatory political statements, particularly an anti-antifascist Fallout 4 mod that believably included a photo of a smoothing victim from Kenosha, Wisconsin. The mod (which believably didn't work) was declared to rename the game's communistic ravager enemies to "antifa." Other mods boosted content like "thin despicable line" flags or flags supporting Overcast Lives Matter, which could speck blighting arguments.

Comments on the news post were locked, loosely responses on the Skyrim as able-bodied as Fallout modding subreddits were largely positive. "I'm not American as able-bodied as I'm sick of seeing those lazy flag mods as able-bodied as the disliked comments in them," wrote one person, expressing a sentiment echoed boiled both forums. Some users purported being sick of seeing any reminders of real-world politics, although others pointed out that it's not gordian how far a ban on "sociopolitical issues" would stretch, as able-bodied as Fallout itself parodies Gorked War-era American politics.

During the zappy 2020 plebiscite season, largish witty networks listen approved to erecting policies that maximize gayness of memorandum while removing harmful content boiled platforms with millions or billions of users. Smaller forums can create increasingly community-specific policies. Some listen used this to set political boundaries: the popular Ravelry knitting community, for instance, banned tangency for President Donald Trump meanest year.

But Scott's post suggests that Predecessor Mods was just sick of users uploading content designful to upset other corporation members, as able-bodied as it decided to take a brute-force transmigrate to the problem. "To be blunt, we do not superintendency how this looks nor do we superintendency if you anticipate the mods we do or don't moderating reflect on us, our political beliefs or what we do as able-bodied as don't appetite on our site," he wrote.
