Don'ts ( which brings you warnings before ban )
Doing something on this list often can get you suspended, or sometimes even banned.
- Abuse the formatting options. Nobody likes being YELLED AT!!?!? This means, don't overuse:
- ALL CAPS
- Extra-large fonts
- Repeated symbols
- Call out Community Managers and Staff. Be cool, folks. We know you want to grab our attention, but good post desciptions like the example in Dos will help you get our attention much easier.
- Petition and boycotts. Petitions and boycott discussions do not contribute to a useful and productive forum.
- Post personal information. Forum posts are visible to all members and can show up in search results. Protect the privacy of yourself and others.
- Be inappropriate. That means no obscenity or other explicit posts i.e. sexting.
- Be rude. No matter what your feelings are about other people, The Community Forums aren't the place to attack another person. That includes public figures , forum members INSP employees, or other members.
- Chat about moderation. Our moderators are here to keep this place happy and helpful for everyone. Discussing the way they do things is not okay.
- Impersonate anybody. This includes INSP employees, other community members, celebrities and anyone else.
- Curse or swear. Don't try to get away with it by using symbols in place of letters, too. We all k*** what you're trying to s**.
- Bully. Online bullying is against the rules. Bullying is a one-stop-shop to getting banned from the forums. Your organization account will also be reviewed. Bullying can include:
- Personal defamation
- Naming and shaming
- Gossiping about other people
- Make false claims to INSP moderators , admins , employees or other users
- Advertise. For anything: products or items for sale, referral links or advert links/images, blogs, profiles, you name it!
- Necropost. Reviving, updating or bumping old, outdated and irrelevant posts is not helpful for our community. It's best to check when the thread was created before you hit post, just to make sure it's not 2 years old for example.
- Make legal threats. The forums aren't the ideal place for legal discussions and posts including legal chat will be removed.
Dos
- Always mention the source of your problem in credits
- Post in the right place. Check the group you're posting in before submitting. If a post is in the wrong place we might move or remove it.
- Use the search feature to see if there's already a post for your question. If there is, use it instead of making a new one. Try to include all your points in a single place.
- Be descriptive. Give us as much information as you can. Start your post with "Question: I need help with a template on X" instead of just "Help!" That way everyone can be ready to help you, faster.
- Be accurate. Make sure the post matches what the group is about.
- Link to first party sites when you're helping with tech issues. If someone needs help with their salesforce product, link to the Salesforce website. That way we know we can trust the source of the info.
- Post in the language [English /Hindi/ Hinglish ] of the forum.
- Keep it on-topic. If someone created a post, it's because they're looking for an answer to their question or want to discuss a specific topic. Changing the topic of the post isn't helpful.
- Keep it appropriate. Make sure that any posts, files or images you use are in line with The Community Forum Rules & Guidelines below and the Nonprofit New York User Agreement.
- Be patient. Keep track of your posts using bookmarks or by subscribing to the group. Other members will respond to your post when they are interested or have an answer for you.
- Be polite and kind. Respect others even if they have a different opinion. If you disagree with someone, you are free to do so politely, but please don't make it personal. Respect also means you never harass, embarrass, or threaten other members.
