Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Written in a typical rude condescending hacker speak.

    Let's call it for what it is - it's more of a frustration vent than a guide. And this approach will certainly not make these people read through.

    There are always way more polite ways to put it, like:

    "Most of the questions you face about software are replied to by unpaid volunteers taking spare time to help you - thereby, the more effort you'll put into properly filing the issue, the quicker you'll get a response. Here are main points that we may need in order to help with your problem, and a way to obtain all information required"
