## Moderating the Zulip community
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Anyone can help moderate the Zulip community by helping make sure that folks are
|
||||||
|
aware of the [community guidelines](https://zulip.com/development-community/)
|
||||||
|
and this Code of Conduct, and that we maintain a positive and respectful
|
||||||
|
atmosphere.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Here are some guidelines for you how can help:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Be friendly! Welcoming folks, thanking them for their feedback, ideas and effort,
|
||||||
|
and just trying to keep the atmosphere warm make the whole community function
|
||||||
|
more smoothly. New participants who feel accepted, listened to and respected
|
||||||
|
are likely to treat others the same way.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Be familiar with the [community
|
||||||
|
guidelines](https://zulip.com/development-community/), and cite them liberally
|
||||||
|
when a user violates them. Be polite but firm. Some examples:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- @user please note that there is no need to @-mention @\_**Tim Abbott** when
|
||||||
|
you ask a question. As noted in the [guidelines for this
|
||||||
|
community](https://zulip.com/development-community/):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> Use @-mentions sparingly… there is generally no need to @-mention a
|
||||||
|
> core contributor unless you need their timely attention.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- @user, please keep in mind the following [community
|
||||||
|
guideline](https://zulip.com/development-community/):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> Don’t ask the same question in multiple places. Moderators read every
|
||||||
|
> public stream, and make sure every question gets a reply.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I’ve gone ahead and moved the other copy of this message to this thread.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- If asked a question in a PM that is better discussed in a public stream:
|
||||||
|
> Hi @user! Please start by reviewing
|
||||||
|
> https://zulip.com/development-community/#community-norms to learn how to
|
||||||
|
> get help in this community.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Users sometimes think chat.zulip.org is a testing instance. When this happens,
|
||||||
|
kindly direct them to use the **#test here** stream.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- If you see a message that’s posted in the wrong place, go ahead and move it if
|
||||||
|
you have permissions to do so, even if you don’t plan to respond to it.
|
||||||
|
Leaving the “Send automated notice to new topic” option enabled helps make it
|
||||||
|
clear what happened to the person who sent the message.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you are responding to a message that's been moved, mention the user in your
|
||||||
|
reply, so that the mention serves as a notification of the new location for
|
||||||
|
their conversation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- If a user is posting spam, please report it to an administrator. They will:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Change the user's name to `<name> (spammer)` and deactivate them.
|
||||||
|
- Delete any spam messages they posted in public streams.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- We care very much about maintaining a respectful tone in our community. If you
|
||||||
|
see someone being mean or rude, point out that their tone is inappropriate,
|
||||||
|
and ask them to communicate their perspective in a respectful way in the
|
||||||
|
future. If you don’t feel comfortable doing so yourself, feel free to ask a
|
||||||
|
member of Zulip's core team to take care of the situation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Try to assume the best intentions from others (given the range of
|
||||||
|
possibilities presented by their visible behavior), and stick with a friendly
|
||||||
|
and positive tone even when someone‘s behavior is poor or disrespectful.
|
||||||
|
Everyone has bad days and stressful situations that can result in them
|
||||||
|
behaving not their best, and while we should be firm about our community
|
||||||
|
rules, we should also enforce them with kindness.
