Answering Questions
This is not a question, this is more of an etiquette request to all users.
Unity answers is here so we can get our questions answered but it is for all the users, not just you. When you post a question and it is answered, even if you feel it was a stupid question, do us all a favor and don't delete it. It's bad enough that users don't take the time to check and see if there is a valid answer to their question already posted somewhere, but deleting it makes it so even those that do, cannot find the answer without those answering being forced to answer the same questions over and over again. On that same note, please do take a second to check for similar questions.
Don't post error codes, post the entire error(at least the (#,#) part after the script), especially if you're going to post a 200 line script, since the full error will have the line number and location on the line in which the error occurs, in most cases. This makes it easier for us to help you without having to scan through endless lines of code that may have nothing to do with the overall issue. Also, I could be wrong but I doubt there are very few people, if any, who know what the error code is without having to Google it themselves. Some, like me, who are here for the puzzle solving aspect may stop to read through it all, but many may just pass it up. Help us help you or more to my first point, help us help everyone.
I'm sure there is a more appropriate place for this but I wasn't sure where to post it otherwise. I know most won't read this anyway but I figured it's worth a shot.
If there is a better place for this let me know, thanks.
I literally just came here to say this exact same thing. The last 3 answers of $$anonymous$$e were deleted within a few hours. Unfortunately, anybody who has this bad etiquette probably wont read this post. Thanks for saying something my friend.
Honestly after the amount of time I put into some of these and how little the askers respond or appreciate the help makes me feel like I'm pretty much done putting in time here.

The problem is that the FAQ and Moderators sections are badly out-of-date and are going to stay that way. It's been at least 5 years since a Unity staff person was really in a position to update them. And even if they put someone here for enough time that they could, they'd ask the moderators for opinions and the few moderators left don't agree on things.
