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 arround
• Don’t spam
• Don’t flood the channel with messages or bot commands; use Pastebin if you want to post more than 3 lines of code
• Annoying, racism or any form of derogatory term against any user or channel operator will probably get you quieted; or even banned.
• If you’re going to ask someone something, ‘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.
