Overly large or otherwise disruptive signatures will be deleted by staffThis is a PG-13 forum. Images may not include nudity, sexually explicit poses, vulgar or profane materials. Images may not depict children in any sexual or otherwise compromised manner. Images of these natures will be deleted and uploaders may be warned. In general, bikini coverage is the minimum allowed; and we mean bikini not bikini. To be more specific, all intimate body parts must be covered, or concealed. The TESA Team reserves the right to make the judgment call and remove images that are skirting the decency line. In these cases, users will be informed; their compliance with the ruling is mandatory.Avatars and Signatures may NOT contain the TESA dragon image, as it is reserved for our staff only; violations will be removed and the user may be warned. This includes the TESA dragon logo, which may not be used in any context (avatar, signature, or otherwise) without staff sanctioning. Special exceptions can be made by senior staff.The rules of the TES Alliance Forums are based off of the forum rules on the Official Bethesda Softworks Forum; an ideal and comprehensive list, we'd like to thank the Bethesda Community staff for setting this fine example.
