Be polite and respectful of the community and its members. The community is made up of F5 users, employees, partners, distributors, enthusiasts, evangelists, experts, n00bs, and more. We ask that you please not engage in disrespectful, insulting, berating, or condescending language or behavior. Post with detail, and comment constructively. While we absolutely value the lurkers in our community, we ask that if you decide to engage more actively, you do so with the first guideline in mind. What is obvious to you may be completely unknown to someone else. Please use tact and civility; avoid provocation. Clickbait, spam, and spamdexing are right out. Remember that a healthy community is largely comprised of unpaid volunteers. One thing we love to see is people learning and people teaching. One thing we don’t love to see is a sense of entitlement to anyone else’s time or knowledge. We help each other as and when we can, so there should never be an expectation of free on-demand support. Do not share personal or private information or anything you do not want in the wild, including in private messages. This includes address, phone numbers, credit card information, passwords, and other sensitive information (including unsanitized code). If you see this happening, or anyone asks you to do this, please let the team know by reporting the request as inappropriate content. Please DO: Engage at whatever level you are comfortable, whether that is just reading articles and shared code, asking questions, answering questions, or contributing more deeply. Use the Search function to see if someone has already asked/answered the question you have before posting Keep conversations on track Provide factual information to the best of your knowledge Cite sources if not posting your own original content Include context/reasoning for linking to off-platform content. This serves to increase trust in your intention and reduce the likelihood of delays associated with manual and automatic SPAM reporting. Report any abuse you see in the community by using the link on the comment or article, or by sending us an email Please DO NOT: Be rude/spam/troll Divert from the original topic of a thread Threaten, intimidate, or insult Post illegal, sexual, or religious content Doxx anyone Impersonate an F5 employee or anyone else Link to offsite content without providing some context, or links which violate either these community guidelines or the DevCentral End User License Agreement (EULA). Violation of these guidelines will typically result in a communication from a Community Manager with instructions on how to resolve the violation. Continued violations may result in a temporary or permanent ban from the community.Clickbait, spam, and spamdexing are right out. v1.1 (26.04.2022)DEVCENTRAL END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT

What is that little cloud icon for? What does it mean? I've heard this question a handful of times since we launched and finally grabbed some time to describe it for you all.TL;DR, that icon signifies a members' level of engagement on DevCentral. and we decided to play with the cloud motif because it was fun. Rankings in Greater Detail Ranks (and clouds for that matter) are derived from a semi-fluid arrangement of factorssuch as time, contributions, reactions, and interactions with the content of the site (or environment). As of this writing, outside of employees and MVPs, the highest rank for active members is Nacreous achieved only bySamirandcjunior. In the end, this means that if you see someone with a rank icon with a lightning bolt or star in it, that user has established credibility with the rest of our community! These ranks do NOT imply accuracy of a given piece of advice. Nor do they illuminate skill or knowledge generally; those things are earned from innumerable places well beyond our virtual walls, but we hope this rank designation is one simple way we might help you, at a glance, understand just who you a member is with respect to their energies at DevCentral. As you can see in this chart, we have room for growth. By way of comparison, I checked onJRahm, and he *would be* at that level right above Nacreous. For the sake of intrigue, I have left off the names we provided for the next four ranks. It'll be fun to see those ranks get exposed. 😄 I should note that during the recent migration we were unable to translate any of the kudos/upvotes users may have earned or given between 2005 & 2019. This is a softspot that primarily affects really long-term members (like JRahm) but once kudos and solutions begin piling up in our new system I would expect to see increased movement up the ranks. Next time, I'll review our incoming badging system. Cheers!2023 DevCentral MVP Announcement
Congratulations to the 2023 DevCentral MVPs! Without users who take time from their busy days to share their experience and knowledge for others, DevCentral couldn't be the helpfuluser community that it is today. To that end, the DevCentral MVP Award is given annually to the outstanding group of experts in the technical F5 user community who go out of their way to engage with the user community. The award is our way of recognizing their significant contributions, because while all of our users collectively make DevCentral one of the top community sites around and a valuable resource for everyone, MVPs regularly go above and beyond in assisting fellow F5 users.2022 was tough in a lot of ways, and we are extra-grateful to this year's MVPs for taking the time and making the effort to help others. MVPs get badges in their DevCentral and Reddit profiles so everyone can see that they are recognized experts. This year’s MVPs will receive thank-you gifts, and invitations to regular exclusive webinars and behind-the-scenes looks at things like roadmaps, new product sneak-previews, and innovative concepts in development.
