This said you can serve as a moderator in whichever places are of the most interest to you. Algunos moderadores solo ayudan en GitHub. Otros solo contribuyen en foros. Otros moderadores se mantienen activos en todo.
Tenemos un único código de conducta que regula por completo nuestra comunidad. Mientras menos reglas, más fácil es recordarlas. Puedes leer las reglas y fijarlas en tu memoria [aquí](https://code-of-conduct.freecodecamp.org).
Los Pull Requests (PRs) son la vía que utilizan los colaboradores para someter cambios al repositorio de freeCodeCamp. We must perform Quality Assurance (QA) on pull requests before we decide whether to merge them or close them.
1.**Challenge Instruction Edits** These are changes to the text of challenges - the Description, Instructions, or Test Text. You can also review these right on GitHub and decide whether to merge them. We need to be a bit more careful about these because millions of people will encounter this text as they work through the freeCodeCamp curriculum. Does the pull request make the text more clear without making it much longer? Are the edits relevant and not overly pedantic? Remember that our goal is for challenges to be as clear and as short as possible. They aren't the place for obscure details. Also, contributors may try to add links to resources to the challenges. You can close these pull requests and reply to them with this:
2.**Challenge Code Edits** These are changes to the code in a challenge - the Challenge Seed, Challenge Solution, and Test Strings. These pull requests need to be pulled down from GitHub and tested on your local computer to make sure the challenge tests can still be passed with the current solution, and the new code doesn't introduce any errors. Some contributors may try to add additional tests to cover pedantic corner-cases. We need to be careful to not make the challenge too complicated. These challenges and their tests should be as simple and intuitive as possible. Aside from the algorithm challenges and interview prep section, learners should be able to solve each challenge within about 2 minutes.
3.**Codebase Changes** These code edits change the functionality of the freeCodeCamp platform itself. Sometimes contributors try to make changes without much explanation, but for code changes, we need to make sure there's a genuine need for the change. So these pull requests should reference an existing GitHub issue where the reasons for the change are discussed. Then you can open the pull request on your computer and test them out locally. After you've done so, if the changes look good, don't merge them quite yet. You can comment on the pull request saying "LGTM", then mention @raisedadead so he can take a final look.
En primer lugar, cuando elijas un pull request a QA, deberás asignarte a él. You can do this by clicking the "assign yourself" link below the "assignees" part on the right-hand column of GitHub's interface.
Antes de fusionar cualquier pull request, asegúrate de que GitHub tiene marcas verdes para todo. Si hay alguna X, averigua primero y descubre cómo convertirlas en marcas de verificación verdes primero.
A veces habrá un conflicto de fusión. This means that another pull request has made a change to that same part of that same file. GitHub tiene una herramienta para abordar estos conflictos de fusión en GitHub. Puedes tratar de resolver estos conflictos. Just use your best judgment. The pull request's changes will be on top, and the Master branch's changes will be on the bottom. A veces habrá información redundante que se puede eliminar. Antes de que finalices, cerciórate de eliminar el `<<<<<<`, `======`, y `>>>>>>` que Git añade para indicar áreas de conflicto.
Si el pull request parece estar listo para fusionarse (y no requiere la aprobación de @raisedadead), puedes seguir adelante y fusionarlo. Asegúrate de utilizar la funcionalidad predeterminada "Squash and Merge" en GitHub. Esto aplastará todas las solicitudes pull se compromete a un solo commit, lo que hace que la historia de Git sea mucho más fácil de leer.
If the author of the pull request is a "first-time contributor" you should also congratulate them on their first merged pull request to the repository. Puedes mirar la esquina superior derecha del cuerpo del PR, para determinar un colaborador de primera vez. Mostrará `First-time contributor` como se muestra a continuación:
Si el pull request no parece listo para fusionarse, puedes responder amablemente al autor que debe hacer para prepararlo. Hopefully, they will reply and get their pull request closer to ready.
A menudo, un pull request será obviamente poco esfuerzo. You can often tell this immediately when the contributor didn't bother checking the checkboxes in the Pull Request Template or used a generic pull request title like "made changes" or "Update index.md".
También hay situaciones en las que el colaborador está intentando añadir un enlace a su propio sitio web, o incluir una biblioteca que ellos mismos crearon, o tiene una edición frívola que no sirve para ayudar a nadie más que a sí mismos.
This is a standard message notifying you that we've reviewed your pull request and have decided not to merge it. We would welcome future pull requests from you.
Si necesitas una segunda opinión sobre un pull request, sigue adelante y deja tus comentarios sobre el pull request, luego agregue la etiqueta "discussing" al pull request.
1.**Code Help Requests**, which people have mistakenly created GitHub issues for. If someone is asking for help, paste the following message, then close the issue.
```markdown
Thank you for reporting this issue.
This is a standard message notifying you that this issue seems to be a request for help. Instead of asking for help here, please click the **"Help"** button on the challenge on freeCodeCamp, which will help you create a question in the right part of the forum. Volunteers on the forum usually respond to questions within a few hours and can help determine if there is an issue with your code or the challenge's tests.
If the forum members determine there is nothing wrong with your code, you can request this issue to be reopened.
Thank you and happy coding.
```
2.**Bug or Clarification issues** Try to reproduce the bug yourself if you can. If not, ask them for the steps to reproduce the bug, and whether they have any screenshots, videos, or additional details that can help you reproduce the issue. Once you can reproduce the issue - or at least confirm it's a legit issue - label it `confirmed`. Then:
- If it's a simple change to an existing challenge, label it as `first timers only`, otherwise label it as `help wanted`. Utilice otras etiquetas según corresponda.
- If the issue is more significant, flag it as `bug`. Si hay alguna ambigüedad en cuanto al curso correcto de acción en un problema, siéntate libre de etiquetar a @raisedadead sobre el problema y luego añade la etiqueta `Discutir`.
3.**Duplicate Issues** If an issue is the same as another reported issue, the prior reported issue should take precedence. Flag as `Duplicate`, paste the following message replacing `#XXXXX` with the issue number, then close the issue.
4.**Fixed in staging** Some problems may have already been fixed in staging, but don't have a GitHub issue associated with them. If this is the case, you can paste the following message, close the issue, and add a `status: resolved/shipping` label:
This is a standard message notifying you that the problem you mentioned here is present in production, but that it has already been fixed in staging. This means that the next time we push our staging branch to production, this problem should be fixed. Because of this, we're closing this issue.
- Stale issues or PRs are those that have not seen any activity from the OP for 21 days (3 weeks from the last activity), but only after a moderator has requested more information/changes. Estos pueden ser cerrados en un script automático/bot o por los propios moderadores.
- Si el OP solicita ayuda adicional o incluso tiempo, lo anterior puede ser relajado y revisado después de que se dé una respuesta. In any case, the mods should use their best judgment to resolve the outstanding PR's status.
Aunque tendrás acceso de escritura al repositorio de freeCodeCamp, **nunca deberías enviar código directamente a los repositorios freeCodeCamp**. Todo el código debe introducir el código base de freeCodeCamp en forma de pull request desde un fork del repositorio.
Si observas que alguien rompe el código de conducta [](https://code-of-conduct.freecodecamp.org) en problemas de GitHub, o abrir solicitudes de extracción con contenido o código malicioso, envíe un correo electrónico a dev@freecodecamp. rg con un enlace a la solicitud de extracción ofensiva y podemos considerar prohibirlos de la organización GitHub de freeCodeCamp por completo.
Como moderador, usted ayuda a mantener a nuestra comunidad un lugar agradable para que cualquiera aprenda y obtenga ayuda. Usted tratará con mensajes marcados y manejará el spam, fuera de tema y otras conversaciones inapropiadas.
Ten en cuenta que una vez que seas un moderador en el foro, empezarás a ver pistas azules de los miembros del foro, como "esta es la primera vez que [person] ha publicado - ¡Bienvenidos a la comunidad! o "[person] no ha publicado en mucho tiempo - ¡Bienvenidos de nuevo! "
![Un mensaje de texto azul que dice "esta es la primera vez que [person] ha publicado - ¡Demos la bienvenida a la comunidad!](https://i.imgur.com/mPmVgzK.png)
Estas son oportunidades para que usted las acoja y haga que se sientan muy especiales. Nunca sabes qué persona que está involucrada marginalmente puede convertirse en nuestro próximo super-ayudante, ayudando a muchas otras personas en su viaje de codificación. Incluso la bondad más pequeña puede desencadenar una cascada de buenas acciones.
Para el primer mensaje de correo no deseado de un usuario, envíe un mensaje explicando el problema, y elimine el enlace o mensaje según corresponda. Deja una nota en el perfil del usuario explicando la acción que has tomado. Si el problema persiste, siga el proceso anterior. Bloquear silenciosamente al usuario de publicar (usando la opción de silencio en el panel de Administración de Usuarios), luego enviar una advertencia con el Código de Conducta. Marque la casilla del mensaje privado indicando que su mensaje es una "advertencia formal".
De nuevo, si tienes algún problema o pregunta, haz un post con tus acciones en la categoría de personal, y etiquetar a otro moderador si quieres que revisen tus acciones de moderación.
Nuestros Términos de Servicio requieren que los usuarios de freeCodeCamp tengan al menos 13 años de edad. En el caso de que un usuario revele que es menor de 13 años enviarles el siguiente mensaje y eliminar su cuenta del foro (si la eliminación no está disponible, suspender la cuenta es suficiente). Luego envía un correo electrónico a [Quincy](https://forum.freecodecamp.org/u/QuincyLarson) (quincy@freecodecamp.org) o [Mrugesh](https://forum.freecodecamp.org/u/raisedadead) (mrugesh@freecodecamp.org) para eliminar también la cuenta freeCodeCamp del usuario.
It has come to our attention that you are under 13 years of age. Per the [freeCodeCamp terms of service](https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/terms-of-service), you must be at least 13 years old to use the site or the forum. We will be deleting both your freeCodeCamp account and your forum account. This restriction keeps us in compliance with United States laws.
A veces la gente publicará cosas que creen que son divertidas. No se dan cuenta de que lo que dijeron o lo que compartieron podría interpretarse como ofensivo. En estos casos, su publicación debe ser eliminada, pero la persona que la publicó no necesariamente necesita ser prohibida. Con la eliminación de su correo, espero que lleguen a comprender que lo que publicaron era inapropiado.
Pero si se trata de una ofensa atroz que no puede atribuirse razonablemente a una diferencia cultural o a un malentendido del idioma inglés. entonces debe considerar fuertemente bloquear al miembro del grupo de Facebook.
1.**Make sure it was intended to violate the Code of Conduct.** Not all violations of the CoC were intended as such. A new camper might post a large amount of code for help, unaware that this can be considered spamming. In these cases, you can just ask them to paste their code with services like Codepen or Pastebin.
- Ban the offending person from the Discord Server. In order to ban someone, right-click on their username/profile picture and select "Ban username". You will be given the option to delete their previous messages - select "Don't delete any", as the messages should remain present as a historic record.
- Report a short summary of the event in the #mod-log channel. Here's an example of what such a summary might look like:
- If you decide to ban someone, it means they're unwilling to abide to our Code of Conduct. Therefore unbanning a Camper should rarely occur. However, if the need arises, you can do so by clicking on the server name, choosing "Server Settings", choosing "Bans", selecting the user you wish to unban, and clicking "Revoke Ban".
There may be situations where you need to address a concern with a camper privately. This should not be done through DMs, as this can lead to situations where you claim one thing and the camper claims another. Instead, use the bot's functionality to create a private discussion:
- Call the `!fCC moderate private @username` command, where `@username` is the _Discord mention_ of the user. If you are calling this command from a private channel (such as #mod-chat), you will need to parse the mention manually: Ensure you have Developer Mode turned on in your Discord settings, then right-click on the user's avatar and select `Copy ID`. Replace the `@username` parameter with `<@!ID>`, where `ID` is the value you copied earlier. The result should look like: `!fCC moderate private <@!465650873650118659>`.
- The bot will create a new channel under the `private` category and add the `@username`-mentioned camper and all moderators with the `Your Friendly Moderator` role. While all moderators are added to the channel for transparency, the moderator who calls this command should be the only one to interact with the camper unless they request assistance.
4.**Deleting messages** Moderators have the ability to delete messages on Discord. They should only exercise this ability in four very specific situations:
In all other situations - even situations where the code of conduct is violated - Moderators should not delete the message as these are an important historic record. When you do delete a message, make sure you take a screenshot of it first! The screenshot can be logged in the #mod-log channel, but for the #activity-log it is sufficient to say the evidence was "removed due to sensitive content". Note: If the message contains material that would be illegal to take a screenshot of, copy the message link instead - provide that message link to @raisedadead to forward to Discord's Trust and Safety team.
5.**Don’t use @everyone or @here** Don’t use @everyone or @here under any circumstances! Every single person in that chat room will get a notification. In some cases, tens of thousands of people. Instead, if you want people to see an announcement, you can pin it to the channel to allow everyone to read it.
6.**Don’t threaten to ban** If a camper is breaking the code of conduct, don’t threaten to ban them, and never warn them in public. Instead, talk to them privately using the bot's `private` command. No one else in that channel needs to know that you banned/suspended the person - campers can view the summary in the #activity-log channel if they want to keep up on that information. If a violation was clearly unintended and doesn't warrant a suspension or private conversation, make the offending camper aware of his / her actions without making it come across as a warning. For example:
Moderator: @username Please use Codepen or Pastebin when posting large amounts of code, because it disrupts the chat for everyone and could be considered spamming according to our Code of Conduct.
7.**Don’t brag about being a moderator** Do not see yourself as above the community. You are the community. And the community has trusted you to help protect something rare that we all share - a _welcoming_ place for new developers. If you brag about being a moderator, people may feel uneasy around you, in the same way, that people may feel uneasy around a police officer, even if they’re doing nothing wrong. This is just human nature.
8.**Don’t contradict other moderators** If you disagree with the action of a moderator, talk with them in private or bring it up in the #mod-chat channel. Never override a ban, and never contradict the other moderator(s) publicly. Instead, have a cool-headed discussion in mod-chat and convince the moderator that they themselves should reverse their ban or change their point of view. Remember: we’re all on the same team. We want to dignify the role of moderators and present a unified front.
9.**Talk with other moderators** We have a room for moderators only. Use it! If you feel uncomfortable with how to handle a certain situation, ask other moderators for help. If you think something should be discussed, do it. You're part of the team and we value the input of every team member! Even if you totally disagree with anything in these guidelines or the Code of Conduct!
10.**Temporarily inactive** If you're not going to be active as a Moderator for a while due to vacation, illness, or any other reason, make sure to let the others know in the #mod-chat channel. This is so we know if we can count on you to be regularly active on the server or not.
1.**No Ban functionality** At this time, Rocket.Chat does not have a flow for banning users. Users can be muted (so they are prevented from chatting in a room) or kicked from a room.
2.**Modified Bot Commands** The moderation bot in the chat server was developed with a smoother UX in mind. Some of the commands have been modified. Use the `!fCC modHelp` command to view the available functionality. Bot commands in the chat server do NOT require a user mention as they do with Discord.
3.**No Role Mentions** Unlike Discord, Rocket.Chat does not allow you to mention all users by a specific role - this means you cannot ping all moderators at once.
If you are helping people in the community consistently over time, our Moderator Team will eventually take notice, and one of them will mention you as a possible moderator to [our staff](https://forum.freecodecamp.org/g/Team). There are no shortcuts to becoming a moderator.
If you are approved, we will add you to our Moderator Teams on [GitHub](https://github.com/orgs/freeCodeCamp/teams/moderators), [forum](https://forum.freecodecamp.org/g/moderators), etc.
> [!NOTE] > **For GitHub:** After you've been accepted as a moderator, you will receive a Github repository invitation. You'll need to head over towards [freeCodeCamp GitHub Organisation Invitation](https://github.com/orgs/freeCodeCamp/invitation) to be able to accept the invitation. This is required for us to be able to give you write access to some of our repositories.
> This is a standard message notifying you that, since you don't seem to have been an active moderator recently, we're removing you from our Moderator team. We deeply appreciate your help in the past.
Anyone is welcome in the [Contributors room on our chat server](https://chat.freecodecamp.org/channel/contributors). It is the designated chat room for moderators and other campers who are contributing to our community in any number of ways, including through study groups.
Our assumption is that contributors will read anything in this room that directly mentions them with an `@username`. Everything else is optional. But feel free to read anything anyone posts in there and interact.
You may be approached by organizations who want to partner or co-brand with freeCodeCamp in some way. Once you realize that this is what they're after, please stop talking to them and tell them to email quincy@freecodecamp.org. He gets proposals like this all the time and is in the best position to judge whether such a relationship will be worth it for our community (and it rarely is).
You may come across situations where users are seeking medical advice or are dealing with mental health issues and are looking for support. As a matter of policy, you should avoid talking privately about these matters. Should the situation at some point reflect back to fCC, we want to have the conversation(s) on record. Make it clear that we are not medical professionals and that you encourage the user to find professional help. As difficult as it sometimes can be, avoid giving any tips or advice other than pointing the user in the direction of professional help!
If you believe the user is capable of rejoining the community, right-click on the private channel and copy the ID. Put the following message in #mod-log:
This XKCD comic perfectly summarizes most communities' thoughts on free speech. So if someone defends something they're saying as "free speech" feel free to send it to them.
Feel free to reference the [contributing guidelines](https://contribute.freecodecamp.org/#/how-to-work-on-coding-challenges?id=testing-challenges) for instructions on running the CI build locally. ✅
Feel free to reference the [Syncing a Fork](https://help.github.com/articles/syncing-a-fork/) article on GitHub for more insight on how to keep your fork up-to-date with the upstream repository. 🔄
If you're not familiar with the merge conflict process, feel free to look over GitHub's guide on ["Resolving a merge conflict"](https://help.github.com/articles/resolving-a-merge-conflict-on-github/). 🔍️
Also, it's good practice on GitHub to write a brief description of your changes when creating a PR. 📝
