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
