In addition to our General Terms all Joomlapolis.com site members (aka Joomlapolitans) and guests are responsible for knowing the information contained in the following Code of Conduct.
The CB Core Team (aka CBCT), reserves the right, but does not assume the responsibility, to restrict communication which CBCT deems in its discretion to be harmful to individual guests, damaging to the communities which make up Joomlapolis.com, or in violation of CBCT's or any third-party rights.
Prohibited CB profile content, private messaging, board posting, and e-mailing, behaviors include (but are not limited to):
-
profanity, vulgarity, or explicit content For example:
- "masking" by using alternative characters/spellings and spaces to get around profanity filters, leet-speak, and combinations of words that produce an offensive result (e.g. ura hugeazz, Tow El Head)
- "filter testing"
- discussion of or in-character enactments of "cybering" or sexually explicit material
- discussion of or in-character enactments of graphic violence
-
hate speech (e.g. racial, ethnic, sexist, homophobic and religious slurs)
-
promotion of or engaging in certain illegal activities, For example: drugs, drug paraphernalia, rape or solicitation of a minor, computer hacking, and copyright violation
-
harassment of another specific person (e.g. persistent flaming or continued personal attacks on the boards or "in-character harassment" without prior out-of-character permission.)
-
trolling or baiting by putting to the screen inflammatory statements designed to elicit a negative response from the community
-
spamming through repeated posts, or off-topic content by word or intent to boards or lists (e.g. scrolling, flooding, polling, or by "bumping" a boards post more than once in 48 hours)
-
No useless posts. This includes: Thread bumping, useless one liners, Flamewars, Trolling and Spamming. What is spamming? Read this.
-
advertising or promoting a business or commercial site without the permission of the CBCT
-
impersonation of another person, site staff or CBCT member by either screen name or self-representation (e.g. faking a screen name by using similar-looking characters, "spoofing" speech in a chat room, or claiming to hold an official title or position relating to the site or using a CBCT avatar frame)
-
reregistering a banned username, a variation of a banned name, or declarations under a new screen name that you are "really" the banned name or attempts to resubscribe under another address after being put on REVIEW by the moderator.
-
off-topic posts or thread hijacking.
These disruptive behaviors are grounds for removal; Joomlapolis.com site admins are the final judges of whether a member's behavior qualifies as inappropriate or a disruption.
-
only one account per user
- Check that your question has not been answered anywhere else on the site. Use the search feature (both on site content and forum).
- Post your comment/question to the most appropriate place. Any posts deemed to be in the wrong forum will be moved. Do not cross-post the same question to multiple places.
- Ask Questions The Smart Way. Read this by Eric Raymond.
- Thank those who help you. Acknowledgement of a helpful suggestion not only placates those who helped you, it may also help others with a similar problem. All those who have been helped on this forum are invited to help other users by responding to their questions when they know the answer and /or to consider donating to the project.
In other words, behave yourself. Treat other people you encounter in the rooms just as you would treat them in person--politely.
Disciplinary Procedures
If a member of Joomlapolis has demonstrated he or she cannot behave, the member will initially have his/her profile banned and will eventually LOSE his or her username.
These procedures are only meant to be rough guidelines, as each profile, board, and content situation is different and may require other measures to ensure the community orientation of the site.
You Can Make Joomlapolis a Better Place
Our moderators can't be everywhere at once. Therefore, if you witness actions in boards, or other areas that you believe harms a guest, damages Joomlapolis, or violates CBCT's or some third-party's rights, please make a note of the time/place where the event occurred and contact a CBCT member or site admin immediately. If they aren't handy, please see our contact page.
Parts of this Joomlapolis Code of Conduct content have taken or inspired by the Joomla.org forum rules (http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,65.0.html) and the Wizard.Community code of conduct (http://boards1.wizards.com/community_coc.php).

The Joomla extensions site team has created extra categorizations to support component specific extensions (such as CB plugins). Discussions about this have been going on since May 2006 (see thread here) and this week a decision and solution has been provisioned.
You can see all CB plugin extensions by visiting this area. The CB Team hopes that this new environment will give new momentum towards the development of new CB plugins.

The huge success and traffic of this site has prompted the team to investigate alternatives in order to keep performance levels as high as possible. Our 23,000+ active users and the increasing popularity of the Community Builder suite including the great third party plugins made it imperative to seek out the best hosting environment possible. This month-long investigation has been fruitful and we are now hosted very smoothly since two weeks by KreativMedia GmbH - our sponsor.
The entire Joomlapolis team is very excited about this arrangement and we feel that the worldwide community of community builders will ultimately benefit from the new environment. Please take the time and visit our new sponsors' page (Main Menu horizontal link) and discuss this news in the forums.
KreativMedia, the 23K+ Joomlapolitans thank you!

Our Joomlapolis site
has just signed up
its 20,000th member!
This is an amazing accomplishment taken into account that the initial launch of this site took place around the end of November 2005 - thus 8 months ago. Another interesting stat is the fact that - due to the actual purpose of this site to support the Community Builder activities - most of the membership is comprised of website admins and developers.
We would like to thank all Joomlapolitans who have helped bring this community to this major milestone!
