Revision as of 18:48, 12 November 2009

Note: This page is a work-in-progress. Feedback and suggested improvements are welcome. Please join the discussion on moodle.org or use the page comments.


Moodle.org aims to be a friendly place where people can get help with and learn about Moodle, and contribute to making Moodle even better. Therefore, in the interests of maintaining a productive learning environment, we request that all participants follow this code of conduct. If you do not wish to do so, you have the right not to participate.


Before posting

Choose the most appropriate forum to post in

Any posts deemed to be in the wrong forum will be moved. As Moodle does not yet include functionality for informing posters when a thread is moved, if you suspect your post has been moved, please try a Google search of moodle.org to locate it.

If you realise you have posted in the wrong forum or course and wish to have your post moved, please use the moodle.org contact form.

Choose an informative subject line

  • Instead of using a subject line like "Urgent help needed!!!" use a subject line which is specific, such as, "Restore stops with error message 'xyz'".
  • Provide as much relevant background information as you can in your post and remember to state the version of Moodle you are using.

For further advice on how to ensure your question is answered, see Moodle Forum Help.

Post your question in one forum only

Reposting the same question in multiple forums is of no benefit. It only fragments the support you receive and makes it more difficult for other users to find the correct information in the future.

If you really feel your topic falls in two forums (e.g. a major development in the Quiz module that may impact other parts of Moodle), pick the most specific (e.g. Quiz forum) and post a small pointer to the other discussion in the second forum (e.g. General developer forum).

Respect other forum users

Show respect and consideration to others at all times.

Flaming and personal attacks will not be tolerated. If you come across a post that you feel is inappropriate, please report it to a forum moderator (listed in the forum introduction) or course facilitator or use the moodle.org contact form.

Please respect the decisions of forum moderators and course facilitators.

Spam and unsolicited advertisements are not allowed

Our Policy on Advertising explains the contexts in which advertising is permitted. In addition, Moodle-related jobs (offered and wanted) may be advertised in the Moodle Jobs database. All other advertising and spam will be deleted. Posts with no substantial content (e.g. "Hi") will also be deleted.

If you come across any unsolicited adverts or spam, please report it to a forum moderator (listed in the forum introduction) or course facilitator or use the moodle.org contact form.

Provide feedback if you solve your problem

In order to help others that may encounter the same problem as you did, rate forum posts as useful and provide a link to the documentation or discussion that helped you. Adding [Solved] to the subject line of your post is also helpful.

Code of conduct violations

Posts which violate our code of conduct may be edited, moved to a hidden forum or deleted at the discretion of moderators. Moderators and course facilitators are encouraged to discuss issues in the Facilitators Corner.

Spammers or anyone else who persists in violating our code of conduct will have their account blocked.
