Text Glitch When leaving the game open for a long time (3+ hours), a glitch happens where you can skip through conversations much faster than normal. This glitch has an annoying long and inconsistent setup and doesn't work the same on everyone's computer, so it's not allowed in runs. You are advised to restart your game after every completed run or handful of attempts to avoid this.

Ctrl+PrtScn Hotkey This hotkey changes the game speed to be based on framerate rather than real time, which means the game runs normal speed at 30 FPS. Higher than that the game runs too fast (2x speed at 60 FPS, 4x at 120, etc.) and lower than that it runs slower. Since not everyone can maintain a constant 60 FPS (framedrops in Riften are common) this hotkey is not allowed.

Console Commands Use of console commands would make the run trivial and boring so no commands are allowed to be executed during a run. Console commands are very helpful during testing / routing, however you are advised to restart your game prior to doing runs to ensure no commands entered will effect anything.

Mods As Skyrim is already an unstable game, we can't be sure any installed mods will not effect the run in any way or work the same across computers. Therefore any mods must be removed before doing any runs. Even trivial things like having SKSE running is not allowed.
