Horizon Worlds Forum Rules and Guidelines

[Zbornox]

Welcome to the Horizon Worlds Dev Forum! 

Below, you can find information on forum rules. 

We’re here to answer your Horizon Worlds creator questions. The Horizon World Building Questions section is monitored by different Horizon Worlds staff members and we also encourage you to answer and engage! 

Horizon Worlds Forum Rules

1. Don't be a jerk. You know when you're being one, so don't do it.

2. No discrimination or hate-speech. This is a zero-tolerance policy.

3. Remain respectful of other members, moderators and admins at all times. Civil debate is acceptable, but please be respectful of others while you do so. This means you may not call people names or otherwise make personal attacks on other members.

4. No trolling, inflammatory threads, or flame wars. If you'd like to discuss a controversial topic in a controlled and civil manner, you may do so.

5. No posting of "obscene" content, links, images, or videos. In order to keep our forums safe for all viewers, discussion of VR / Horizon Worlds related NSFW topics are not allowed, and we ask that people do not post or link to obscene material.

6. No religious, political, ideological, scientific or socioeconomic debate. If you would like to have an ideological debate, please find another forum.

7. Do not cross-post the same message into multiple threads or sub-forums. If you have a question or comment, please only post one thread in the appropriate forum or thread.

8. Do not create multiple accounts. These will be banned and deleted without appeal.

9. No posting or linking to pirated / illegal content. Discussion of piracy is fine, but linking to or uploading any pirated material is strictly disallowed.

10. Keep threads on-topic. If you'd like to discuss something other than the thread topic with another member or members, please do so through PMs or in a new thread in the appropriate forum.

11. Do not create spam or nonsense discussion threads. 

12. Do not reply to spam topics (but please do report them to an admin or moderator). It makes it more difficult to clean up spam because mods / admins have to go through and manually delete the topics if there are replies to it.

13. Selling merchandise is not allowed. Please do not attempt to sell your used Meta Quest hardware or any other products on the forums.

Breaking any of these rules may result in a warning or action taken against your Horizon Worlds Forums account, depending on severity. Admins and moderators reserve the right to delete threads and comments, as well as ban members, at their discretion.

Feedback and Bug Reports

If you have an idea for a new Horizon Worlds product feature, a change you'd like to see with an existing feature, or a bug to report, please head to the Horizon Worlds UserVoice feedback channel. Even if you don't have a new request, you can head to UserVoice to vote for ideas submitted by others. Our teams are always looking to better understand what our users want to see out of our products next, so please head to UserVoice to make your voice heard!

New User Posting Info

Users on this forum can be either unverified or verified. New users start as unverified, and unverified users have every post inspected by the automatic spam filter. If the filter thinks a post might be spam, it gets put into a special queue for moderators or admins to check. Things like posting links to external sites or certain keywords can trigger the post being added to the spam queue. When the moderators or admins check the spam queue, they verify users with legit posts to prevent future posts from getting thrown in there.

If the forum is telling you a post has not yet been approved, please do not repost it. Moderators / admins have to manually verify each one in case they aren't all identical. Deleting posts on the forums is generally a last resort action. If a post or comment you made does not appear or has gone missing, it likely either:

1. got caught by the spam filter and will come back when one of the mods or admins reviews the spam queue.
2. got moved to another board (like developer questions) and should still be in your personal post list.
