Rules

Some people don't know how to behave in IRC, so here are some simple rules:

  • Don’t ask if you can ask questions, just ask
  • Be patient when you ask something, people might not be around
  • Don’t spam
  • Don’t flood the channel with messages or bot commands
  • Use a pastebin, such as 0bin if you want to post more than 4 lines (e.g. error messages or code)
  • Annoying, racist or any form of degrogatory term against any user or channel operator will probably get you quieted or even banned.
  • If you’re going to ask someone something, saying "please" goes a very long way.
  • The channels are not playgrounds and are frequently used for talks which are not off-topic.
  • Off-topic is allowed, but excessive use of it is disallowed.
  • Link shorteners are discouraged for URLs that are not very long.
