+Moderation Rules - Originally posted by Kib on the forum.
+
+With great power comes great responsibility, and it is important to not misuse the power we have received.
+Below are a set of basic rules for the forum moderation that we have come up with.
+In case a rule is missing that you think should be added, feel free to discuss.
+
+**Writing posts or replies**
+- Be civil, no matter how infuriating other persons are.
+- Unsure what to do? Ask a fellow moderator or the team in this forum!
+
+**Editing posts**
+- Never edit posts without explaining that you did so in your edit.
+- Editing to remove harmful content is OK.
+- Editing broken links or confusing misspelling to fix them is OK
+- Editing posts because you do not agree with what was said, is NOT ok.
+
+**Deleting posts or whole threads**
+- Don't. It's much more preferred to move them to the garbage or edit the offending bits out (See above)
+- For spam: use the stopforumspam link in the top right of the post, or ask an admin when that is not possible.
+
+**Moving threads**
+- When moving threads, when possible leave a non-permanent redirect for a number of days. 7 is a good number, but 3 works as well. Use your own intuition. Wink
+- Reply to the thread stating that you moved it, ergo "Moved to support section because this does not belong in Android development"
+
+**Sticking / Unsticking threads**
+- When in doubt, don't stick or unstick
+- Only sticky threads that will be valid for a long time.
+- Do not sticky many threads, it gets in the way of browsing the forum
+- If many threads are stickied, it is usually better to consolidate the information by making a reference sticky that points to all the threads
+- Contact the author before unstickying threads \ No newline at end of file
