If in doubt contact your local law enforcement agency or attorney for legal advice.

The do’s

  • Stay on topic – If you want to change the subject, start a new thread.
  • Post in the correct forum – Look at the sections and their descriptions before you post.
  • Be friendly and helpful – There is a huge array of skill level on the forum, we all started as n00bs
  • Search before you post – The Forums and Answers are packed full of information so there may already be a solution.
  • Add relevant thread titles – Please do not post a thread titled “Please help I have a problem” as it is likely to get ignored.
  • Good spelling and grammar – Not everyone is a native English speaker and may not understand j00R L337 5P34|< or colloquial jargon.
  • Be detailed – When posting about an issue include the version of Unity you are using and machine or device specs.
  • Report Posts – Use these rules to report any violations across the Unity Developer Network. Make sure you provide usernames and an accurate description. This is especially helpful in lengthy discussions.
