Hi, everyone. Today we are announcing a change in our policy concerning the sharing and discussion of unofficially released information, rumors, and datamining on the official ESO forums.

Eh. It's a private forum run by a private corporation. They can do anything they please regarding datamining as long as it's nothing the FBI is going to be interested in.
I think datamining is the main target here. But there's also some obvious lockdown against some of the more egregious rumor mills/conspiracy theorists.

Go ahead, come for me ZOS.
Don't understand what your problem with that datamine is.
It's just pure hype. This game could do better with more of it.
There are only two means by which I can access high levels of dopamine through Elder Scrolls Online 1. On the first day of PTR, exploring a new zone and discovering what the new furnishings will look like, and 2. Viewing datamined content, theorizing about it, and imagining possibilities. So with this announcement, my only concern is finding where to access the datamines, and discussions about datamines, so I can keep the feel-good chemicals rolling. They are all I have now. They're not taking them from me no matter what their reasonings behind it are. If one day actually 'playing the game' makes you feel as good as seeing what's new, or speculating about how it might be changing, then maybe that other stuff won't matter as much anymore.redspecter23 wrote: »*Finds his datamine page, favorites it and remembers to check it now and then*datamines posted by @Cactus_Back

The control of information and the specific timing of the release of that information can be valuable. Remember, this is the same company that has an event starting later this month. We still don't know when it starts. If that information is that precious to them, you can imagine how they feel about datamining. As players we can't necessarily see their point of view about how negative it can be. I'll admit that I don't fully comprehend how it can hurt that much, but it's not for me to understand.

If Maique the Liar did not not say this, then it is not the truth, for Maique the Liar is the truth.
