Discourse Moderation Guidelines
Discourse is governed by Mozilla’s Community
Participation Guidelines as well as the following guidelines to
ensure that it remains a safe and effective forum for conversations
related to Mozilla.
Violation of Discourse Moderation Guidelines or the Mozilla
Community Participation Guidelines are grounds for removing posts
or curtailing your posting privileges on the site.
These Guidelines are followed by all of Discourse’s
Moderators. Any Discourse users can contribute to keeping discourse
civil by flagging posts that violate these guidelines.
About Moderators:
Moderators are a combination of staff community managers and
trusted community members who have committed to regularly reviewing
and evaluating flagged posts according to these guidelines. You can
see the full list of moderators here.
Moderators who do not regularly review posts will be removed. From
time to time we will call for new moderators, if you would like to
be considered please fill out this form to apply.
Guidelines:
Flagged posts will be reviewed according to the following
guidelines.
Inappropriate:
Personal Attacks: While we encourage civilized discourse and
disagreement we require that you criticize things, not people.
Criticism of individual people will be flagged and removed.
Examples of things include: interfaces, programs, and products.
Examples of people include: developers, community managers,
community members, and users.

conversation will not be tolerated. This includes: trolling,
heckling, or promoting hostility.

site that is trying to sell something.
Direct links to executable
files. Moderators may remove these links to protect users from
potentially malicious downloads. (You can post a link to the
webpage that contains the file download but it may also be removed
if a Moderator finds that the web page content could be harmful or
if the web page link is spam.)
Links to third-party download sites for Mozilla Products:
Third-parties sometimes fetch the wrong builds, or add malicious
software to the download. Moderators may edit or remove links to
third-party download sites.

Duplicate Content: Do not repost the same thing multiple times,
duplicate posts or excessively push a post to get to the top of the
