Community Rules

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Avoid AI generated content.

Avoid misinformation.

Avoid incomprehensible posts.

No threats or personal attacks.

No spam.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

Hell fucking yeah. When running Skyrim I had to play it on such a low resolution it looked like a PS1 game, I also removed trees, reduced mountain textures to 256x256px, and many other mods I put into a group called "Schizo Performance Mods."

A man after my own heart. Also here's how the game looked like

Tree Mesh Remover

Insignificant Object Remover

Those trees in the distance (LOD Trees) are hallucinations created by your dwindling sanity as you try to squeeze +2 fps. When you go near them they simply plop out of existence.

Also my game looked worse than this. Interestingly the Xbox360 version of the game not only looked better. but actually ran at a smooth 30 fps.

For any poor soul that wants to attempt what I did, first you must follow the official guide on the Skyrim Modding Wiki, then take a look at this A Helpful Guide To Increase Skyrim's Performance and Stability - FPS and Optimization

Your biggest boost will probably be from reducing the resolution, and making sure that you are using dxvk or Gallium Nine, DO NOT USE WINED3D which is basically the default state of wine. Gallium Nine was so easy to install when Mesa 24 was compiled with it enabled, now Mesa 25 stopped compiling Gallium Nine so you have to compile Mesa 1.24.x yourself and enable Gallium Nine support. I tried but for the life of me it wouldn't fucking compile.+

In the end, I modded Skyrim more than I played it.
