TheUE.Su Code of Conduct – Site Guidelines & Community Ethics

1. Purpose of These Guidelines

TheUE.Su is a professional, community-driven space built for Unreal Engine developers — from solo creators to full studios.

To keep the environment focused, respectful, and productive, we’ve defined a clear Code of Conduct that all users must follow.

If you’re here to learn, build, share, or contribute — welcome.
If you’re here to troll, argue, or exploit — this isn’t your space.

By using this forum, you accept these terms. Ignorance of the rules is not an excuse.

2. Respect & Professionalism

✅ What’s Encouraged:

• Friendly, helpful, and constructive communication.

• Respect for all users, regardless of skill level or background.

• Productive debate, feedback, and collaborative spirit.

❌ Not Allowed:

• Harassment, bullying, passive-aggression, or hostility.

• Hate speech, sexism, racism, or personal attacks.

• Creating drama, spreading false claims, or engaging in toxic behavior.

⚠ Punishment: Warning → Temporary Ban → Permanent Ban.

3. Stay On-Topic

This is a forum about Unreal Engine and game development.

❌ Off-topic conversations are not welcome — especially:

• Political, religious, or ideological debates.

• Personal rants, conspiracy theories, or hot-button real-world issues.

Keep discussions centered on creation, code, content, and collaboration.

4. Be Authentic – No Impersonation

✅ You may:

• Use a nickname or pseudonym.

• Credit other creators when sharing something that isn’t yours.

❌ You may NOT:

• Pretend to be an admin, moderator, or someone else.

• Misrepresent your work, lie about your background, or defraud users.

⚠ Punishment: Instant and permanent ban for impersonation or fraud.

5. Zero Tolerance for Piracy & IP Violations

We’re developers — we respect creators.

❌ Absolutely forbidden:

• Sharing paid assets without rights.

• Distributing cracked software or stolen content.

• Reselling others’ work without permission.

✅ Allowed:

• Sharing original content or clearly licensed/free-use resources.

• Discussing copyright questions, licensing terms, or best practices.

⚠ Violations = Post removal + Ban + Legal escalation (if needed).

6. No Spam or Unsolicited Promotion

This is not a billboard.

✅ Allowed:

• Promoting your own UE-related projects in the correct sections.

• Offering services or collaborations transparently and clearly.

❌ Not allowed:

• Posting irrelevant links, affiliate ads, or mass promotions.

• DM-spamming users or hijacking threads for exposure.

⚠ Punishment: Content deletion, restrictions, or ban.

7. Use the Right Section

Help keep the forum clean and useful.

✅ Examples:

• Blueprint questions → Blueprint section.

• Animation breakdowns → Animation & Cinematics.

• Asset sales → Marketplace section.

❌ Don’t:

• Post the same content in multiple places.

• Start threads in irrelevant categories.

⚠ Violations = Thread move + warning. Repeat = posting restrictions.

8. Moderation is Final

Moderators are here to protect the forum — not to debate every decision.

✅ Do:

• Use the Report button.

• Respect moderator decisions, even if you disagree.

❌ Don’t:

• Publicly argue about bans or moderation.

• Accuse mods of bias or favoritism without evidence.

• Turn disagreements into spectacle.

⚠ Consequences escalate quickly for fighting moderation.

9. No Doxxing or Data Sharing

Respect personal privacy — always.

✅ You may share your own contact details, if you choose.
❌ Never share:

• Another person’s name, address, IP, or identity.

• Threats to expose, leak, or harass someone.

⚠ Doxxing = Permanent ban. No warning. No second chance.

10. Reporting Rule Violations

✅ Use:

• The “Report” button under posts.

• Direct messages to mods for serious issues.

❌ Don’t:

• Call out users publicly.

• Start drama or revenge threads.

We’ll handle it. Trust the system.

11. Final Notes & Disclaimer

• ✅ By using TheUE.Su, you agree to these rules.

• ✅ The Administration reserves the right to act at its discretion in all cases.

• ✅ Rules may be updated at any time — stay informed.

• ✅ Continued use = automatic agreement with any changes.
