Nexus Mods Debunks Discord Ban Rumors for Links

Generally, People Are Saying Discord was tossing two year bans on anyone who dropped a Nexus Mods link. Obviously, Pickysaurus, the community manager, jumped in on the official Discord server and said theres zero proof of that happening. Normally, You would think that if it was true, there would be alot more cases, but “We have not found any instances of users being penalized for posting Nexus Mods links, except for one isolated case mentioned in an r/pcgaming post,” he wrote. Usually, Even that case its fuzzy whether the link actually set off the ban or it was just a coincidence. Currently, No signs point to any risk from sharing those links.

Clarifying the Rumor

Honestly, I tried the link myself, posted it in a few different servers, and nada, nothing happened. Probably, The rumor seemed to start from a Reddit post about a *Spider‑Man 2* mod link that supposedly got auto‑moderated. Naturally, A bunch of us, me included, tossed the same link around and the accounts stayed alive. Normally, No bans, no warnings, just normal chatter. Often, You would expect some kind of reaction, but nothing.

Personal Testing Confirms No Issues

Basically, Discord does scan for really bad stuff, malware, child sexual abuse material, that sort of high‑harm content. Sometimes, Smaller spaces like DMs or tiny group chats only get the heavy‑handed scans for the worst violations. Usually, Piracy claims or false positives usually end up in the “other policy violations” bucket and only get flagged in big communities. Generally, Last year a few Nexus Mods users got false copyright strikes, but they were cleared quickly and never turned into long bans. Currently, The recent Reddit claim looks like the first one since September 2025.

Discord’s Moderation Policies Explained

Apparently, Even though the ban story is busted, keep an eye on what you share. Normally, Discord isn’t encrypted end‑to‑end, so screenshots can pop up anywhere, kinda like posting on X. Usually, Think of every Discord chat as a public post, it helps dodge misunderstandings and protects your rep. Often, You dont want to be that person who shares something they shouldnt.

A Reminder About Online Privacy

Clearly, The claim that Discord hands out two‑year bans for Nexus Mods links is just that, a claim. Obviously, Testing by Nexus Mods and community feedback shows no danger. Usually, False positives happen, but they’re rare and get sorted out fast. Generally, Stay smart, stay cautious, and you’ll be fine. Normally, You dont want to be too careful, but in this case, it pays to be aware.
