UESP Forums

Greetings and salutations, good people of UESP!

At long last, Skyrim is ours - the anticipation is now over! The moderator team is just as excited as you guys to be a part of Skyrim's release and will be looking forward to serving members, new and old, to our maximum potential. In order to make this forum safe and family friendly, it's best we lay down a few ground rules.

Firstly, the moderator team will be out in full force to make sure that all rules of the forum, including proper forum posting etiquette, are followed. You will be expected to follow all the rules of the forum.

If you do not follow forum rules, you will find your posts being deleted, your threads being closed, and your self being warned, if applicable. We will not be as tolerant now as we were in the pre-release days. We would like to encourage everyone to re-familiarize yourself with what we expect of you; if you are not sure what we expect etiquette-wise on the forum, I would encourage you to visit the thread , which has some helpful tips about avoiding spam and promoting good communication on the forums.

Secondly, because not all members of the forums will receive the game at the same time, please remember when discussing the game to use the spoiler tag for, you guessed it, spoilers. To use the spoiler tag, simply hit the SPOILER button above the text box and include the text between the two tags, or insert them yourself as follows:



If you see a user who has forgotten the spoiler tags, do not react hostilely. Either offer a friendly reminder and an explanation of how to use the tag or use the report function to notify a moderator so we may edit the post for everyone.

Thirdly, we do not accept, tolerate, or permit discussion of illegal activity here on UESP; it is strictly against the rules. This means you are not welcome to talk about pirating the game. If you do, your thread will be locked and you will be warned.

If you have any questions, please send a PM to the Staff so we can assist you in making the most of your posts here. Thank you for following the rules and for making the UESP forums the great place it has been for years. Now go into the rest of the forum and tell us what you’ve done today, Dragon Born!

Faithfully yours,
The Moderator Team <3

Additional Note: Do not be afraid to use the report button. Overuse it if you think it will help. It will be easier to look through individual reports than to browse through topics that may contain spoilers.
