Official WCAG Plus Forum Rules

Welcome to the WCAG Plus Forum! To ensure a positive, constructive, and respectful discussion environment for all members, please read and carefully follow the rules below. Participation in this forum implies acceptance of these rules.

1. Mutual Respect and Appropriate Language
  • Treat all members with respect, even in cases of disagreement.
  • Avoid personal attacks, insults, vulgar, defamatory, discriminatory, or threatening language.
  • Discussions must remain focused on technical and professional topics related to web accessibility.
2. Topic Relevance (Off-Topic)
  • Ensure your posts are relevant to the forum's subject matter and the specific section you're posting in.
  • For topics not strictly related to WCAG or web accessibility, check if an "Off-Topic" or "General" section exists. Otherwise, please refrain from posting.
3. Spam and Advertising
  • It is strictly forbidden to post spam, unsolicited promotional content, or links to irrelevant websites.
  • The promotion of services or products is permitted only if explicitly authorized by moderators or in designated sections.
  • Avoid cross-posting (publishing the same message in multiple sections).
4. Quality of Contributions
  • Before posting a question, use the search function to see if the topic has already been discussed.
  • Be clear and concise. When asking a question, provide all relevant details (e.g., code, screenshots, context).
  • When replying, strive to provide accurate and helpful information.
  • For code, please use phpBB's dedicated [ code ] tag for better readability.
5. Intellectual Property and Copyright
  • Do not post copyrighted material without proper authorization.
  • If you cite external sources, always include the original reference or link.
6. Privacy and Personal Data
  • Do not share personal information about yourself or other members (email addresses, phone numbers, etc.) publicly.
  • Respect the privacy of other users.
7. Role of Moderators
  • Moderators are here to ensure adherence to the rules and the smooth operation of the forum.
  • Moderators' decisions are final. In case of doubts or complaints, please contact a moderator privately via message.
  • Moderators reserve the right to modify, move, or delete messages that violate the rules, and to suspend or ban repeat offenders.
8. Reporting Violations
  • If you notice a violation of the rules, do not respond directly to the user; instead, use the "Report post" function to notify the moderators.
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping the WCAG Plus Forum a welcoming and productive place for everyone!
