We like to keep things relaxed and friendly. Here are some tips to keep it that way:
- Be patient and respectful.
Nobody likes an asshole. People are more likely to listen to what you have to say if you say it respectfully, and with constructive goals in mind.
- Cultivate an atmosphere of inclusivity.
We get it, you're a 10x l33t hacker. Be friendly to newcomers and people who are educating themselves. Don't mock people for simply asking questions.
- Follow the laws of your jurisdiction.
Adhere to the GNU General Public License. Don't break the law, and don't encourage or pressure others into breaking the law on your behalf.
- Don’t be destructive or inflammatory.
When criticizing others and/or their work, do so with the intention of building them up, not tearing them down.
- Don't harass people.
This can include:
-
Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks.
-
Publishing others’ private information, such as a physical or electronic address, without explicit permission.
-
Unwelcome sexual attention or advances.
