Delphi Developers Posting Guidelines


Delphi Developers Posting Guidelines

A community for people who write their software using Embarcadero's Delphi development tools.

#delphi #objectpascal #programming

Be constructive, informative and helpful. Avoid flame wars, please.

This community is not StackOverflow. Well formulated questions with sufficient detail are preferred, but not an absolute requirement. Don't be afraid to ask.

OBS:
The community search is now working well, and it is currently possible to find posts where the keywords you search for are in the comments only.
Use the post categories, and add #tags to specify more context where needed.

Want: To deal with the things we can solve, instead of dwelling on what we can't. To help people solve coding related issues and discover new tools, components, techniques, blogs, jobs, etc.

Want not: Posts that go very far off-topic, are of an incendiary nature, or posts that are related to Embarcadero policies or practices, or in general deal with issues that are beyond the control of the members of this community - should be posted on the Official forums - or in our rant and rage department known as Unit Number5 - or elsewhere.

Our moderators may remove or lock such posts.

Is this censorship? It is done to ensure that this community doesn't turn into another Non-Tech, so I guess it is. I hope most of you find these guidelines to be acceptable.

As always, no rules without exceptions. ... or exception handling.

Posting in English is encouraged and preferred. If you post a link to an article in a different language, please translate the Google+ description of the article for the convenience of the Community.

Posts that only contain links or videos without any description in the post, will be removed.

OBS * Please share your rage and rants about EMBT in unit number5 instead of here.

  1. Is this reminder spurred by anything in particular recently?

  2. A few of posts have been removed recently - for different reasons. 

    Opinions on the practice are welcome, but the arguments better be constructive :P

  4. Rearranged the text and put it into community info as well.

  5. Lars Fosdal Is it worth encouraging people to ask questions on SO, and link to them here? That way they can be searched but people here can also contribute.
    EDIT: Never mind, saw the other discussion.

  6. I think posting the question on SO and sharing it here is a good idea.
