First ban from my patreon

This has been the first case when I banned someone ever, so I think it's worth mentioning.

A certain user on Nexusmods published a mod, using my preset in the pictures (the preset itself was not available to download). Other users in the commens asked about the preset and the author just said it's private. When I opened the author's profile on Nexusmods, I saw hundreds of photos using my presets and I thought "That's nice. Let's see if people ask about the preset in the comments". They asked and they've been lied to - the author hid the fact who is the original creator.

Another preset creator tagged me in the comments and basically gave me credits for making the preset, asking why this info is being hidden. And the drama started. The bodyslide/screenshot author wrote a lot of comments, saying that they're the creator, that they've changed the head mesh etc etc. As you can see from the pictures, only the colors and hairstyle were changed.

And then I asked them to stop the drama, everyone knows who's the original creator already, no need to escalate it any further, just stop. And no surprise, it was just a beginning. You can see (just) a part of the story here, the rest of the pictures are deleted:

What was the drama about?

First, about lying. Then, about making a drama out of nowhere. And finally, about the behavior of some people supporting that 'author'. You can see what kind of comments I got in the first picture. And instead of stopping it, that user played the victim of hate and encouraged others to write that kind of things about me and another preset author who was also involved - same thing happened to them.

Am I angry that I didn't get the credit?

Nope, no need to credit me for the presets you use unless you publish them.

I'm angry because that person couldn't admit their mistake, played the victim and made other people humiliate me because of a stupid preset.

Please don't write private messages to that person, both on Nexus and on Discord - I would get banned for that.

To be clear, that situation will not affect my further work - I will not change the rules of using my work and I will still publish mods.

But I'm making a break anyway to gather some new ideas and learn new skills.
