Build is the place for a deep
technical discussion
for people who
are developing using the Ning
APIs. Network Creators interested
in a general discussion of the possiblities of the
Ning API should use the discussion forum on Creators.
These guidelines, in conjunction with our
Terms of Service,
provide advice that we hope make
Build an interesting, safe, and productive place to
have conversations about how to
develop using the Ning
APIs.
Be Yourself
Use a nickname or real name while here if possible. Be "Jane" and
not "ACE DELIVERY SERVICES INC." We love being on a first-name
basis.
Civility Rules
If we want respect and civility to be the hallmarks of this
community, we all have to strive to keep the feedback
constructive.
Stay On Target
Off-topic, out-of-context, drive-by, cross-posted comments make it
hard to follow a conversation. We sometimes remove them to keep the
conversation structured and meaningful.
We Tidy Up
We move Forum discussions that look like they belong in a different
category. We close duplicate discussions and point people to
ongoing discussions about the same topic. We don't intend to censor
anyone, but we may remove a discussion or replies in a discussion
if they're causing confusion, are mean-spirited, or are otherwise
inappropriate. In general, we do our best to tidy up and make
things easier to find.
Promoters Get Demoted
You have a great Ning Network! But this isn't the place to solicit
new members. Please refrain from including promotional links,
whether in comments or as a signature.
Attackers Will Not Be Defended
It doesn't happen very often, but we will remove people who harass
other people. Personal attacks, insults, and unrelenting negativity
won't be tolerated on Build.
Nobody Likes Spam (Except Spammers)
What is spam? Spam is a noun: unsolicited ads for products and
services. Spam is a verb: posting the same message again and again
to as many people as possible. Spam is a bad word. Don't
spam.
Making this a
safe, constructive place to exchange information is our top
priority, and violating any of these guidelines may result in a
suspension from Build. It rarely
comes to that, though. The most important thing we ask of you, our
fellow developers: Get
involved! Tons of smart people help out here
on Build. Be one of
them.
