Hey, my name is Will but on YouTube I go by ExoticRPGs. I have really been looking to get accepted on GUN Network to get access to some of the amazing mods you guys have here (for my personal use, of course.) I have had an account for some time but I am not active on here much so hopefully I can get to know the community apart from Nexus which I am on a lot.

Well I'm glad you decided to introduce yourself, Welcome to the forums, you've made your first leap into the community by introducing yourself.

If you need any help, don't hesistate to ask
I'm sure you will enjoy your time here

Thanks. Anyway, I needed to confirm something with you. I am working on my biggest video yet (How to Remaster Fallout New Vegas with Mods) and in the video, I am including GUN Network mods that I got access to from leakers. I know it sounds shady but I needed to know if it's ok to redistribute "pirated" GUN mods and not ones that I am getting straight from the website.

Welcome to the GUNetwork @ExoticRPGs We have great forum and people here so I hope you will enjoy your stay here, cheers

To put it simply we have a rule on GUN "DO NOT reupload any mods ANYWHERE for ANYBODY without the author's permission".So to answer your question, no.

Any mod shouldn't be re-uploaded or distributed without the modders permission regardless of where you found it,
and a word of advice, what you do outside of GUN is your buisness, but I recommend you don't tell people you have leaked mods on the site, people tend to look down on mod pirates.

if it comes from this site then link it to this site
If you need special access to get it, then link this site but say you need special access to get it.
hope that clears things up

Yeah of course I wouldn't say that I am "leaking" the mods. I actually packed them into Google Drive for people to download. And if I wasn't to include the mods then that would be a waste as they are such good mods but if I was to include them, then I need some way for people to download them and if I say you need special access, I would get bombarded with hate.

if your providing links to mods that aren't yours and that you would usually need special access to then it's leaking.

the reason those mods are so good is because someone put a ton effort into them, so if they only want people who have earned the coloinal rank to have access to those mods then I personally respect that wish.

And It's not exactly a waste, for instance, youtubers like NCRvet were fine respecting that wish, If a mod came from GUN they gave them the GUN link, if that mod came from the special access section then they made sure to put a disclaimer.

all you have to do is say what mods your using and link them to the original creators

So if I was to link these mods, would I have to credit the mod author in order for it to be ok or does special access still apply?

You would have to do that for any mod you showcase, it's just common courtesy, but yes the rules still apply
look at one of NCRVets descriptions, he directly links everymod he showcases from where they originated from, if you click on one of those links and it happens to be in the special access area, you won't be able to download it unless your a colonial

Yeah I am aware of him. Sometimes, I notice he doesn't even post links to the GUN mods he showcases at all. Ok, well thanks for the help. I 'll have to edit the commentary I already recorded and get rid of the Google Drive links.
