Channel Guidelines

From CPP

Please read and understand these basic guidelines before chatting in #C++. These guidelines are here to make the experience in #C++ more pleasant for everyone.

• The old guidelines sucked so they're gone.
• These new guidelines are a work in progress. Feel free to edit them.

• Use Google (http://www.google.com/).
• Use proper English. That means typing whole words, and using well-formed grammar.
• Don't ask for anything illegal. This is not a warez channel.
• Don't ask to ask.
• Ask smart questions (http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html).
• Don't repeat yourself to get attention. This is IRC; we can see what you just said 30 seconds ago.
• If you ask a question and no one answers, wait. We aren't always attentive to the channel, so it may be a few minutes before someone gets to you.
• Don't be rude. That's our job.
• Give redwyre and zchrist lots of money.
• Yes, we do your homework. Only $150/hour.
• Do not message people in #C++ without permission.
• All answers to homework will be wrong. Except a few. Just to throw you off.
• Don't ask if someone uses your compiler. That isn't a useful question and will never be answered. If you have a compiler-specific question, simply ask it and explain that it is the compiler you use which is in question.
• Rethguals is a bot and you can msg him all your questions to have them added to a queue. What that queue is, we cannot say.
