Nexus Mods community manager Pickysaurus has shared a statement to the modding site’s Discord server addressing a claim circulating on social media and gaming sites that Discord is banning users who share links to Nexus Mods. The claim does not appear to be true. I have reached out to Discord for comment, and will update this story if I hear back.
“We have not seen any examples of users getting blocked for posting links other than the example above,” Pickysaurus wrote, referencing an r/pcgaming post alleging an instance of erroneous auto moderation by Discord. “It may be a coincidence that a link to our website was part of the notice.
A handful of users on the Nexus Discord reported experiencing false positive copyright strikes on their accounts related to NexusMods links last August and September, but these were not full multi-year bans as alleged on Reddit, and seem to have been quickly addressed by Discord support—the inciting Reddit post appears to be the first reported instance of this since September 2025.
