Don't bother downloading unless you want fire to send to the Admins of the Vault to let them know of the graphic, sodomy module they are. It seems to stem from a few bad builders or one builder who was not happy with low votes for their module.
You can read all about it here in the first three threads.
Wish I knew what module they're talking about. A link in the first thread goes here where the comments that started all of this seem to be from on the Vault and from what I gather reading the above threads, it's a module made by a The-Holy-One but there is no such user on the NWN Module side of the Vault, so I can't find the damn thing. I want to download and play it to see what all the fuss is about.
Drama, drama, drama, even after 7 years. '>
FP!
The-Holy-One had his modules voted down by trolls. He reported them and they were banned:

Edit:
I just checked the module titled "The End" that was made by the trolls and I am most certainly not downloading it after I saw Loghain in bed with King Calian.
Umm... The End is being kept up to date by
Differ, who has an account name on the Vault as Differently. This Differently gave a perfect 10.0 vote to this very
module which snapple, llollerbye and karsh kale, along with jeeperscreepers gave a 1.0 to 3.0 scale vote for.
If you reference the vault forum and read this
thread, you can find another module that was uploaded under
The End.
And in that thread, the jeeperscreapers account makes a post about a new module to download (target file Save As: Urgortath_the_great_escape_from_dungeon_slax.mod), which can also be found as a module under
The End's entries. This makes jeeperscreapers either the same person or a friend of Differently who gave the perfect vote on
THIS module. For this module, If you scroll down, although the comments have been disabled, you can still view them.
At the bottom of the page, it reads - "Click this
Link to post your comments in the author's forum".
One can easily view the perfect 10 vote by this Differently account. Click their name, followed by view users's submissions and you'll see they are the true author and caretaker of
The End and all entries within.
One can also find the votes and comments of players relating to this particular module, including those low votes, along with an Adam Miller account, who also gave a perfect 10 vote for, which this entire thread is about and who also
uploaded an individual module that was removed by the admin of the Vault (called The_Snapple) but can now be found under
The End's module entry.
This would also mean that the Adam Miller account is a fake and possibly a friend or the same user as Differently. The individual module by the fake Adam Miller account was removed by the Admin of the Vault YET it is magically avaialble under
The End. So either Differently downloaded the module before it was removed by the Admin and appeneded it to
The End OR they had it all along. Doesn't matter at this point. Either it's the same user or a friend and the end result is the same - a module that was removed is still available under a different entry and in a funny twist, uploaded on the very same day.
So... how did I find the module in question? When you view the
vote page, the second vote references a
LINK (it's made by a user account called OneOone) to a page off the Vault to a module series called The Mystic Journey. Doing a search of this very name on the Vault returns the following modules -
The Mystic Journey - Armon's TaleThe Mystic Journey - Ravid's TaleThe Mystic Journey - Ubadah's TaleWhen the
vote page is loaded, you'll notice an &id tag in the URL which is "&id=6209"
When you load a module page, it uses this same id reference number. Out of all three modules, it is Ubadah's Tale that has a matching "&id=6209" number.
This would be the module in question that has caused the modules under
The End to be created, in my opinion, to target the members of the community who gave low 1.0 to 3.0 votes on a module where the author may have expected higher votes for their time, effort and story telling.
To me, it's this Differently/Differ character who voted a perfect 10 on the module that's the true troll for continued uploading of modules under
The End, which are just conversational rape modules of those playing the game. I suppose there's nothing wrong with that except they're attempting to pass it off as members of the community who voted low on a module, let alone attempt to pass them off as an Adam Miller module when anyone who has been in the community know it is not his true account name on the Vault.
Obviously someone is a little sour at the low votes they received and has made retalitory modules now listed under
The End.
Perhaps at this point, it might be best for the author of the module to contact the Admin of the Vault and ask for the 1.0 votes to be removed or to be expanded on. In the years I've experienced in the community, most 1.0 votes with no stake in WHY it's voted so low don't stick, unless of course the voter in question can give detailed reasons as to why they did not like the module to help the author make their module better. In the case of the 3.0 vote, I personally don't see anything wrong with it as it does go into detail.Every author should attempt a dialog with the voter to better understand their point of view as well as make suggested improvements to the module as a whole.
That's my take on it based on the posts and links I've come across and followed for the past two days.
Thanks to the OP for bringing this to our attention. We builders need to stick together and for the Adam Miller module - it's a fake. I'm surprised you even needed to ask. Shame on you!
FP!
