Guidelines

We're not trying to be dictators, we just want everyone to get along. OFTC (http://www.oftc.net/) is a civil network and we'd like to keep it that way.

Basic Guidelines

• Be polite. Flaming others and the like is considered bad netiquette, and is frowned upon. This will more than likely result in you and any participating parties being banned from the channel.

• Be on-topic. Off-topic discussion is considered noise and should be directed elsewhere.

• Do not /msg people with on-topic discussion. Rather, discuss that in-channel.

• Do not overly repeat yourself. We heard you the first time.

• Please don't run any bots without prior permission from an op.

• Channel opertator status is not a privilege, but rather a responsibilty. Asking for such will more than likely get you banned.

• #free60 is NOT a distribution point for pirated/illegal material, be it software or even documentation. We have zero-tolerance towards any related discussion. That also goes for use of !list or other such commands. You have been warned.

Asking Questions

Before Asking

• Search the wiki for an answer.
• Search the mailing list.

While Asking

• Be polite.
• Be patient.
• Be pertinent -- that is make sure your question has something to do with the channel you're in.

After Asking

• If your question was answered and can't be found on the wiki please post that info.
• Stick around to help others after you.

Use the right channel

There are two channels currently for public use:

1. #free60 is for technical and development discussion, for idle chat seek #free60-chat.
2. #free60-chat is for general discussion on or off topic for free60 and is loosely controlled.

• Currently neither channel is moderated (+m) though if conversations get out of hand or anything of that nature we reserve the right to place higher restrictions.
• Both channels will receive the same updates about important information.
• You can hang out in both, but make sure you questions are for the right channel.

Conclusion

Thank you for your interest in Free60, enjoy your stay!
