Hi,

Do you know where is the [rules of engagement|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/FgQ] ?

Many people know exactaly where it is, but i noted that major of SCN never read this document.

Today i noted this document link in:

  • Left box menu in [Community Guidelines|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/communityguidelines] on the folowing pages: [Forum|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/forums] , [Wiki|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki] and [Blogs|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs].

  • [Expert Forums|https://forums.sdn.sap.com/index.jspa?categoryID=1]

  • Some Forum has a locked thread like [Welcome and Rules of Engagement|;

There people that never saw this document before. Others already saw but they never read( this is other problem ).

The SCN is a dinamyc community so the rule can be changed at any moment. How often do you check it for updatings ? We know that the general rule probably won't be changed but new rules can be added !

Wouldn't It be a good idea if this document link stay in All Threads next to link Reply to this Thread or in any place of this page ?

Thanks,

Marcelo Ramos

thanks for highlighting "Rules of Engagement" even further. Since the forums now have an announcement feature enabled, important changes to the "rules" could be broadcast to all forums via such a mechanism if necessary. But as we are a community of adults, we expect that people will take responsibility for responsible behavior in this environment. Perhaps we can evaluate how further to make it visible. Certainly good postings like yours, which point out all the many places it is available help in the education process so for that, thanks.

Some people never read it until there is an issue or they are explicitly invited to read it.

Maybe this post will make more people aware that reading it is a kind of pre-requisite to participation.

best,

Marilyn

Hi Marilyn,

Please tell me if I'm wrong but when I see new SCN member or someone that doesn't respect the community's rules I add the one of the following phrase:

  • "Welcome to SDN Forum. Don't forget to read the [rules of engagement|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/wiki?path=/display/home/rulesofEngagement] !" As the follow [thread|;.

  • "Don't forget to close this thread and all yours previous when your question be answered !" As the follow [thread|;.

  • "Lets make the SDN better we are responsible for this !" As the follow [thread|;.

  • "PS.: Others SDN member can use your question resolve their problems, so is important you don't forget to mark this Thread as answered when your question be answered !" As the follow [thread|;

I noted that it's working for some people ! mainly for New SCN members !

Best Regards.

Important to distinguish newbies and giving such help should also help decrease noise and promote good behavior. I applaud anyone with the patience and energy to teach and guide.
