About Contributing
The purpose of the Liferay Community Site (Forums, blogs, wikis, etc) is to provide community support for using Liferay Projects such as Liferay Portal, Liferay Social Office, and others. We also want this to be a place where community can develop and we can enjoy one another's company. To achieve this, we strive to maintain an atmosphere that can be enjoyed by all and we ask all members of the community to be respectful at all times. This means please use etiquette and politeness. Treat people with respect. If you do this, the rest of the code of conduct won't need more than a cursory mention.
All posts made to these forums, all blogs made to the community blog, and all wiki pages authored or edited by community members express the views and opinions of the author of each post. Those liable for the content of posts and private messages are the ones submitting the material, and not the administrators, moderators, webmaster, the Liferay community, Liferay, Inc., or anyone else.
This is a moderated community, but only in the sense that we act to deal with content that violates our content policies when we become aware of it. The staff of the community attempt to edit or remove any objectionable or illegal material as quickly as possible. However, with the volume of activity we have on our site it is impossible to review every message.
Users agree not to post anything abusive, rude, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, advertising or marketing related, or sexually-oriented. Material that suggests illegal activity or contains illegal content is also forbidden. We do not support circumventing TOS, EULA, etc here. Such threads will be closed and offending users will be penalized with infractions and warnings. Given that our community features like blogs and forums could be used by people at home, work, or school we want to ensure they will not encounter material that will cause them problems or cause their access to our site to be limited, so all content should be safe for all contexts.
Users posting any content that violates this code of conduct may receive a warning or an infraction that creates a record of the behaviour and will be associated with the account (this record is only visible by staff), may have their posts edited or removed, may have their account or IP address banned temporarily or permanently, and could have a report filed against them to their internet access provider or local authorities.
Finally, you agree that community staff have the right to remove, edit, move or close any post, topic, thread, or other content at any time they see fit following the guidelines outlined below, or the posting tips which you can find here. You agree that the staff of this community have the right to send a private message with a warning and/or censor any forum user who is in violation of forum policy.
