Be respectful

Treat others in the chat channel with the same respect you would expect from them.

Protect your privacy

Do not share personal information about yourself or others. This includes contact information, addresses, and sensitive personal details.

 Be patient

Users in chat channels often multitask, and it may take a little while for others to respond to your messages or questions. Be patient and wait for a response, rather than repeating yourself or getting frustrated. (Keep in mind that we’re not all hovering over our keyboards, waiting for the next message to drop.)

 Don’t Flood

If you have multiple lines to share, use a Pastebin, rather than flooding the channel.

 Spam is not appreciated

Unsolicited advertisements are not appreciated.  We also recommend to not click links posted by users you don’t know or trust.

 Follow the rules

Each chat channel may have specific rules or guidelines in place. Be sure to familiarize yourself with these rules and follow them to ensure an enjoyable experience for all participants.
