Guideline for Asking Questions in the Oima Forum
The Oima Forum is a platform where individuals can seek guidance, share knowledge, and engage in discussions related to ERP system implementation. To ensure a productive and helpful environment, it is important to ask questions that are relevant and specific. Here are some guidelines on what type of questions can be made in the Oima Forum:
1. Focus on ERP System Implementation: The Oima Forum is specifically designed for discussions related to ERP system implementation. Therefore, questions should be directly related to this topic. Avoid asking general or unrelated questions that do not pertain to ERP systems.
Example of a good question: "What are the best practices for data migration during an ERP system implementation?"
2. Be Specific and Clear: When asking a question, provide as much detail as possible to help others understand your situation. This will enable them to provide accurate and relevant answers. Avoid vague or ambiguous questions that may lead to confusion.
Example of a good question: "How can I overcome challenges in user training during an ERP system implementation?"
3. Avoid Personal or Company-Specific Questions: The Oima Forum is a public platform, so it is important to avoid asking questions that are specific to your personal or company's situation. Instead, focus on questions that have broader applicability and can benefit the community as a whole.
Example of a good question: "What are the key factors to consider when selecting an ERP system for manufacturing companies?"
4. Respect Intellectual Property: When asking questions, ensure that you are not violating any intellectual property rights. Do not ask for or share copyrighted materials, proprietary information, or any other content that may infringe upon someone's rights.
Example of a good question: "Are there any open-source ERP systems available for small businesses?"
5. Encourage Constructive Discussions: The Oima Forum is a platform for learning and sharing knowledge. Encourage constructive discussions by asking open-ended questions that invite different perspectives and insights. Avoid questions that may lead to arguments, personal attacks, or any form of disrespectful behavior.
Example of a good question: "What are the pros and cons of customizing an ERP system versus using it out-of-the-box?"
By following these guidelines, you can make the most out of your participation in the Oima Forum and contribute to a supportive and informative community.
You should only ask practical, answerable questions based on actual problems that you face. Chatty, open-ended questions diminish the usefulness of this site and push other questions off the front page.
To prevent your question from being flagged and possibly removed, avoid asking subjective questions where …
- every answer is equally valid: “What’s your favorite ______?”
- your answer is provided along with the question, and you expect more answers: “I use ______ for ______, what do you use?”
- there is no actual problem to be solved: “I’m curious if other people feel like I do.”
- we are being asked an open-ended, hypothetical question: “What if ______ happened?”
- it is a rant disguised as a question: “______ sucks, am I right?”
If you fit in one of these example or if your motivation for asking the question is “I would like to participate in a discussion about ______”, then you should not be asking here but on our mailing lists. However, if your motivation is “I would like others to explain ______ to me”, then you are probably OK.

- Answers should not add or expand questions. Instead either edit the question or add a question comment.
- Answers should not comment other answers. Instead add a comment on the other answers.
- Answers shouldn't just point to other Questions. Instead add a question comment indication "Possible duplicate of...". However, it's ok to include links to other questions or answers providing relevant additional information.
- Answers shouldn't just provide a link a solution. Instead provide the solution description text in your answer, even if it's just a copy/paste. Links are welcome, but should be complementary to answer, referring sources or additional reading.

Answers should not start debates This community Q&A is not a discussion group. Please avoid holding debates in your answers as they tend to dilute the essence of questions and answers. For brief discussions please use commenting facility.
When a question or answer is upvoted, the user who posted them will gain some points, which are called "karma points". These points serve as a rough measure of the community trust to him/her. Various moderation tasks are gradually assigned to the users based on those points.
For example, if you ask an interesting question or give a helpful answer, your input will be upvoted. On the other hand if the answer is misleading - it will be downvoted. Each vote in favor will generate 10 points, each vote against will subtract 2 points. There is a limit of 200 points that can be accumulated for a question or answer per day. The table given at the end explains reputation point requirements for each type of moderation task.
The goal of this site is create a relevant knowledge base that would answer questions related to Odoo.
Therefore questions and answers can be edited like wiki pages by experienced users of this site in order to improve the overall quality of the knowledge base content. Such privileges are granted based on user karma level: you will be able to do the same once your karma gets high enough.
If this approach is not for you, please respect the community.
