While WikiIslam encourages requesting and recommending novel content on the site's discussions and talk pages, requests for help with everyday online debates are better suited to the various forums found online dedicated to this sort of discussion (e.g. [https://www.reddit.com/r/exmuslim/ Ex-Muslims Reddit], [https://www.councilofexmuslims.com/ Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain Forum], [https://www.religiousforums.com/forums/islam-dir.11/ Religious Forums], and [http://www.interfaith.org/forum/islam.html/ The Interfaith Forum]) | While WikiIslam encourages requesting and recommending novel content on the site's discussions and talk pages, requests for help with everyday online debates are better suited to the various forums found online dedicated to this sort of discussion (e.g. [https://www.reddit.com/r/exmuslim/ Ex-Muslims Reddit], [https://www.councilofexmuslims.com/ Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain Forum], [https://www.religiousforums.com/forums/islam-dir.11/ Religious Forums], and [http://www.interfaith.org/forum/islam.html/ The Interfaith Forum]). Informing wiki editors of a claim by posting links to it on discussions pages may be construed as a form of promotion or spam, so please do not do that. | ||

===Certain | ===Certain online forums openly discuss hacking/vandalizing this site, so is the content safe from their illegal activities?=== | ||
Yes. | Yes. WikiIslam admins are aware of the high risk of vandalism to this website and are prepared to effectively deal with any attempt to sabotage its content. In any case this is a wiki website, which means the website can always recover from any amount of vandalism. WikiIslam admins regularly generate data backups in multiple locations. Once, the wiki lost 5 day's worth of edits in April 2007 after the server was hacked, but fortunately there was little editing that was done during those 5 days. That was only time site data was ever irreparably lost. | ||

If you have a complaint, concern or some other serious matter you would like to discuss with | If you have a complaint, concern or some other serious matter you would like to discuss with site admins, please feel free to use the email address found [[WikiIslam:Contact Us|here]]. However, be aware that emails which contain death threats or insults will be ignored. Do not post complaints, concerns or other serious matters on the [[WikiIslam:Discussions|Discussions]] pages. That is not why they are there for. Those pages are there for friendly discussions between editors (or for general enquiries), and users who attempt to disrupt or discourage editors with their complaints will not be tolerated whatsoever. If you do decide to violate our site's policies by deliberately posting such messages in an inappropriate place, your complaint will be reverted/wiped from the page's history and you will risk being blocked from further editing. | ||
