Chat Rules

To encourage a healthy and cheerful community, we request that all users follow the rules and contribute in a positive manner. Due to the active nature of an online chat, we have the following guidelines to keep the discussion clean in addition to the full site rules.

• Be polite and respectful. If a member is being abusive and there is no active moderator, please report them and ignore/leave the chat.
• Don't ask to ask! Ask in the chat and wait for a reply.
• If another member is helping you, remember to be kind and courteous. They are helping you after all!
• No direct or indirect links to copyrighted software.
• Don't PM without permission! Always check first to see if the other member wishes to chat in private.
• Don't publicly argue the decision of a moderator. Bring it up in PM, or contact an administrator.
• This is a technical site, so please keep the discussion PC/OS related or join #offtopic.
• The chat sees users of all ages. Please keep the conversation family friendly. No politics, religion, alcohol or drugs (including tobacco).
