The number of forum users and activity on the forum is increasing rapidly, and as a result, we need to reintroduce the forum's rules.

This post is for both new users and all members of the forum.

We greatly appreciate your participation and contributions to the E-Teach forum.

We would like to remind you that the main purpose of the forum is to share personal teaching experiences if you find them helpful for the community, and to seek professional advice from other members.

Therefore, we kindly ask you to carefully consider the content you wish to share.

Before sharing any information, please ensure that it is not simply a repost of materials from another source, including GPT or theoretical material. Additionally, please be mindful of copyright issues (see my previous posts for more information).

Remember that it is more important to focus on the quality of your posts and discussions, rather than the quantity.

Before posting, please make sure to check the existing topics in the forum and see if there is already a similar discussion on the topic that you want to discuss!

At the moment we notice a lot of topics, posts and information that duplicate each other.

Please do not post without first reviewing the existing categories and discussions on the forum!

You can use the "Search" feature in the top right corner of the screen to find keywords that interest you. We are confident that there are already many brilliant ideas on our forum that you could benefit from, so please consider going deeper into existing discussions instead of creating a similar topic.

This means that if you are sharing your teaching tools, please mention what you have tried and can recommend personally.
If you start a topic, explain how it relates to your personal experience.

We recommend that you take the time to read through the forum and get to know the community better, rather than just posting new content.

Due to the increasing number of posts that require moderation, we may need to reject new posts that don't align with our forum policies.

Please consider this before submitting new posts. We look forward to seeing you in the forum!

Thank you for your input! I'm quite familiar with all the processes you've mentioned. I suggest you check the posts from me, @Burfatmukhtiar, and my brother @FarhanMehboob. There seem to be automatic negative marks appearing. Perhaps there's an issue on the webpage if none of us are involved.

Thank you!

Negative marks cannot appear without someone downvoting.

I suppose that sometimes downvoting may be done accidentally.

Therefore, I would ask everyone to be careful when clicking to "like" a post so as not to give it a negative mark.
You can see who has upvoted or downvoted a post by hovering your mouse over the number of likes underneath the post

Hello to the esteemed managers and education promoters,

I believe in the Oneness of Almighty Allah and that Muhammad (Salallaho Alaihe Wa Sallam) is the last prophet.

I'd like to share a few thoughts regarding the rules and regulations of the forum:

1. When a user posts a new topic, it first comes to your screens for approval.
2. After your approval, you send a notification to the post creator, allowing the topic to be viewed by any forum member.
3. If any member upvotes the post, you give a reward mark/star to the user as acknowledgment. (I’m very happy with this marking system, as it encourages us to post more topics for more rewards!)
4. If any member downvotes the post, you give a negative mark/star, indicating a controversial post. However, if another member upvotes the same post, it remains neutral. ️

This system is a fantastic and creative idea, and I am delighted with it.

However, I have a question: why do negative marks appear on a post if no member has downvoted it? I hope you can clarify this so that members better understand the rules for posting topics.

Sincerely,

Make sure to post in the appropriate thematic category. For example, please do not create a post about a climate change lesson plan in the category "Our Forum Community", as it should logically be placed in the "Teaching Green" category.

When you are planning to start a new thread, please make sure to check the existing topics in the forum and see if there is already a similar discussion on the topic that you want to discuss.

If you do find a relevant topic, please use that instead of creating a new one.

Please be aware, that at the moment some of the created topics could be merged with existing ones in the forum, and as a moderator I am going merging some topics.
All of them will remain in the forum!

hello, may I know is this E-Teach Forum has any datelines to use?

Hello, I'm sorry, I'm not sure I understood your question. Could you please clarify what you mean?

Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in a user ban

indeed, some colleagues sometimes use data from the internet about a given subject without asking the author's permission or mentioning the source of this information.
In general, websites ending in .org are often trusted sites.

As a moderator of this forum, I am truly grateful for your contributions and experience.

We highly appreciate the content you are posting! The forum was designed as a platform for teaching experience exchange and, therefore, I would like to draw attention to one of the first rules of the forum
It is great, when the posts reflect your personal teaching experiences.
This means that if you are sharing your teaching tools, please mention what you have tried and can recommend personally.
If you start a topic, explain how it relates to your personal experience.

If you create new topic, or share some information, please, make sure that it is not just forwarding materials from another teaching source or theory. Also, remember about copyright (see my previous post).

I believe that the value of our forum lies not in the quantity but in the quality of posts and discussions, and I hope this approach to posting will help make the forum more useful, relevant for teachers' professional needs and brings more "real life" and "fresh air" to our forum!

Thank you to all of you who have already shared stories about how you overcome challenges, or seek advice from the collegues.

I hope that I have managed to communicate my idea clearly and, if you have any feedback or suggestions, please let me know. I would appreciate your input.

Anastasiia, the forum moderator
