 +
<!--T:7-->
 +
* We attempt to promote the feature and benefits of Joomla! to a worldwide audience of enthusiasts.
 +
* We attempt to post a link each weekday that will be of interest to the Joomla! community, ideally to content hosted on a Joomla.org site.
 +
* We strictly avoid controversial links, particularly those which involve Joomla! governance or community politics.
 +
* Absolute priority is given to Joomla! releases. In the event of a security or new version release, we post that and only that for 24 hours.
 +
* We normally avoid mention of products or services developed by companies in the Joomla! community.
 +
* We do try to feature great sites built with Joomla!
 +
* We attempt to coordinate our work with Joomla!'s release schedule and the marketing and communications needs of the project as a whole.

 +
<translate>
 +
<!--T:9-->
 +
* The Joomla! Volunteer Code of Conduct fully applies to the Joomla! Community gathered on Facebook. Users must conform their behaviour accordingly.
 +
* Whenever possible, when posting a link do so without preamble. The article headline is normally descriptive enough.
 +
* Links should posted with the best pictures and images pulled via metadata, if any. Click-through metrics are significantly higher for posts which contain an image.
 +
* Allow the community to decide if it likes our posts. We as a team do not "Like" our own posts.
 +
* We encourage Facebook participants to ask support questions about Joomla! at the Joomla! Forums.  This can be done by providing appropriate links whenever possible. We do not provide support via Facebook. To do so usurps the role of the Forum, does not fully integrate the Facebook community with our on-property resources, and increases the workload of the Facebook team.
 +
* We encourage Facebook participants to ask support questions about Joomla! extensions and templates of the extension/template developers. If it is possible and expeditious, optionally provide a link to the extension developer's support forums. We do not provide specific support or advice regarding templates or extensions.
 +
* We take care to especially encourage new Joomla! users. We allow them to post their projects and to ask questions of the community. We understand that "Like" from Joomla! may go a long way in validating a choice by a new Joomla! user to use our software for her/his web project.

* We remove posts by extension developers which link to their own sites. We allow, within a reasonable frequency, an extension developer to mention her/his listing in the Joomla! Extensions Directory, particularly when promoting a security update.
 +
* We do not allow posts which are not Joomla!-related, are purely commercially or politically motivated, or which do not advance the goals of Joomla! and the worldwide FOSS community.

Moderation Guidelines[edit]

  • The Joomla! Volunteer Code of Conduct fully applies to the Joomla! Users must conform their behaviour accordingly.
  • Whenever possible, when posting a link or image do so without preamble. The article headline is normally descriptive enough for the Pinterest title.
