* Ask for assistance on the [forums](http://silverstripe.org/forums), [core mailinglist](http://groups.google.com/group/silverstripe-dev) or on [IRC](http://silverstripe.org/irc) if you're unsure if its really a bug.
* Is this a security issue? Please follow our separate reporting guidelines below.
* Is this a issue with the core framework or cms? Modules have their own issue trackers (see [silverstripe.org/modules](http://www.silverstripe.org/modules))
* Try to reproduce your issue on a [clean installation](http://doc.silverstripe.org/framework/en/installation/composer#using-development-versions), maybe the bug has already been fixed on an unreleased branch?
* The bugtracker is not the place to discuss enhancements, please use the forums or mailinglist.
Only log enhancement tickets if they gather a large interest in the community
and the enhancement is likely to be implemented in the next couple of months.
Lastly, don't get your hopes up too high. Unless your issue is a blocker affecting a large
number of users, don't expect SilverStripe developers to jump onto it right way.
Your issue is a starting point where others with the same problem can collaborate
with you to develop a fix.
## Feature Requests
<divclass="warning"markdown='1'>
Please don't file "feature requests" as issues. If there's a new feature you'd like to see
in SilverStripe, you either need to write it yourself (and [submit a pull request](/misc/contributing/code))
or convince somebody else to write it for you. Any "wishlist" type issues without code attached
can be expected to be closed as soon as they're reviewed.
</div>
In order to gain interest and feedback in your feature, we encourage you to present
it to the community through the [forums](http://silverstripe.org/forums), [core mailinglist](http://groups.google.com/group/silverstripe-dev) or on [IRC](http://silverstripe.org/irc).
Report security issues to [security@silverstripe.com](mailto:security@silverstripe.com). See our "[Release Process](release-process)" documentation for more info, and read our guide on [how to write secure code](/topics/security).
