I do not see this question asked before, so let me ask it. If for example someone makes an ad.fly link that goes to the mediafire, is that banned?
Yes and No, We are using a purchased forum software as a base and having a third party heavily Modding it for us, then we need to mod it some more internally and place additional security.They are switching to a software they develop themselves though.
While ad.fly technically provides hotlinking to the Download outside of the modding forums, finding the adf.ly page without accessing the modding forums is as difficult as finding the download directly on mediafire. ((Adf.ly is basically just a Adsense banner between you and the download allowing someone (usually the modder) to make half a penny for anyone downloading the mod. Even for extremely popular mods that's probably like a coffee or two per week.)) Still not allowed?If you are posting the DL link Hot Linked , typed out, as an image, basically in anyway, then it is not allowed, outside of the user modding forum.

If it is commercial then definitely not allowed. We are actually looking at ways our modders can make money, technical limitations are still in the way currently.
Do note that YouTubers have explicit permission from Paradox to monetize their content. It isn't an accident or oversight in any way. Similarly, I've got permission to monetize my wikis and license the content not owned by Paradox under CC BY-SA 3.0.This is also another problem your "rules" make : 9) You may not solicit directly or indirectly donation in any form.
What about Youtube LetsPlay´s with with Mods ?
You sure know that there are some very popular Letsplayers make some good Money just with monetization of the Mods Letsplays.
Makes no sense to say "not allowed" for simple and very very low money making adf.ly links , but on the other hand Paradox themself promote Youtube Letsplays (http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum...ersalis-IV-MP-with-Northernlion-Mathas-Arumba!) ... that a bit strange imo :wacko:
With promotions like this you somehow gives those YT Letsplayers indirect Money ... :ninja:
Would there be an issue if I was to import the EU: Rome OST to use in my CK2 mod, Project Augustus: - A Roman Realism Mod?
There's no way I could limit the mod to people who have bought EU: Rome, but I could put down LoR as a requirement (It's already needed to access my mods content).
Damn, I suspected as much. Oh well, thanks for the quick answer anyway.Nope unfortunately this would not be allowed.

No Sorry, technically I was probably not even supposed to say that much.Can we know more about this ?

Hello I have read up on a few pages in this thread, but havent found any relevant mentions about the extent of coverage from these specific rule reminders. This applies to all PDS backed games only, and for rules on PI regular games, you have to check on dedicated subforum rule threads (on top of general forum rules) right?This is the discussion thread for the User Modding rules of PDS Games.
Below are the rules you must follow if you want to Mention/Discuss/Plan or otherwise Market your User mod on our forums and or list it in the steam Workshop.
8) You may not charge to buy the mod or charge fees of any kind.
9) You may not solicit directly or indirectly donation in any form.
