Moderation Rules - Originally posted by Kib on the forum.

With great power comes great responsibility, and it is important to not misuse the power we have received.
|
|
Below are a set of basic rules for the forum moderation that we have come up with.
|
|
In case a rule is missing that you think should be added, feel free to discuss.
|
|
|
|
**Writing posts or replies**
|
|
- Be civil, no matter how infuriating other persons are.
|
|
- Unsure what to do? Ask a fellow moderator or the team in this forum!
|
|
|
|
**Editing posts**
|
|
- Never edit posts without explaining that you did so in your edit.
|
|
- Editing to remove harmful content is OK.
|
|
- Editing broken links or confusing misspelling to fix them is OK
|
|
- Editing posts because you do not agree with what was said, is NOT ok.
|
|
|
|
**Deleting posts or whole threads**
|
|
- Don't. It's much more preferred to move them to the garbage or edit the offending bits out (See above)
|
|
- For spam: use the stopforumspam link in the top right of the post, or ask an admin when that is not possible.
|
|
|
|
**Moving threads**
|
|
- When moving threads, when possible leave a non-permanent redirect for a number of days. 7 is a good number, but 3 works as well. Use your own intuition. Wink
|
|
- Reply to the thread stating that you moved it, ergo "Moved to support section because this does not belong in Android development"
|
|
|
|
**Sticking / Unsticking threads**
|
|
- When in doubt, don't stick or unstick
|
|
- Only sticky threads that will be valid for a long time.
|
|
- Do not sticky many threads, it gets in the way of browsing the forum
|
|
- If many threads are stickied, it is usually better to consolidate the information by making a reference sticky that points to all the threads
|
|
- Contact the author before unstickying threads |
