Revision as of 14:16, 3 September 2010

We want to keep the MeeGo Community a great place to participate, but we need your help to keep it that way. While we have specific guidelines for various tools, in general, you should:

• Be nice
• Keep it clean
• Keep it legal

Specific guidelines

• Mailing list guidelines
• IRC guidelines
• Forum Guidelines
• Wiki contribution guidelines

Guideline Violations - 3 Strikes Method

The point of this section is not to find opportunities to punish people, but we do need a fair way to deal with people who are making our community an unpleasant place.

• First occurrence: Public reminder that the behavior is inappropriate according to our guidelines.
• Second occurrence: Private email warning the user that any additional violations will result in removal from the community.
• Third occurrence: Depending on the violation, may include account deletion or banning.

Notes:

• Obvious spammers are banned on first occurrence.
• Violations are forgiven after 6 months of good behavior.
• Extreme violations of a threatening, destructive or illegal nature will be addressed immediately and are not subject to 3 strikes.
• Contact Dawn Foster to report abuse or appeal violations (mistakes happen & will be corrected).
