How do I report an inappropriate post or content?

It is very rare that members of our community post anything which is deemed inappropriate based on the GameDev.tv forums Community Guidelines, however, occasionally it may happen.

If you see a post from a user which you feel is inappropriate do let us know but please refrain from responding to it directly. Sometimes inappropriate posts can occur innocently, something one member finds funny and shares because they feel others may also find it funny, can in fact, cause offence. Responding directly to posts you feel are inappropriate typically only makes matters worse.


Reporting an inappropriate post;

  • Browse to the post in question

  • Expand the posts actions toolbar by clicking on the Show More ellipses icon

  • Click on the Flag for Attention icon

  • Select the most appropriate option

  • Click the Flag Post button

    Note: Only administrators and moderators will see who has flagged a post as inappropriate, this information is not shared publicly on the forum.

    Once submitted a member of the GameDev.tv team will review the reported post and choose an appropriate course of action.
