Trying to find the forum rules before making any posts, but the link above just directs me to this topic... Which has no forum rules listed.

Hmmm...  We moved a bunch of forum stuff around a while back.  Apparently this got lost in the shuffle.  Sorry about that.  For the time being, just use common sense and you'll be fine. :)

Common sense dictates I check the FAQ:
Oops. :)
 

Forum Rules

The basics:

  • No discussion of religion.
  • No discussion of politics, except relating directly to copyright, the Creative Commons, and/or FOSS.
  • Don't be racist, hateful, or otherwise homophobic.

Conduct:

On some forums, it is okay to be snide.  That isn't acceptable here.  As a FOSS gaming community, we are ambassadors of FOSS in general, and as such it is not acceptable to be rude to people who are interested enough in what we do to take the time to ask questions.  Specifically, it is not okay to do the following:

  • Say something along the lines of "READ TEH FAQ U IDIOT"
  • Reply to a question with a link to a google search
  • Say "SOMEONE ALREADY ASKED THIS READ TEH FORUM U IDIOT"
  • Talk down to anyone because of their choice of software or operating system

On the other hand, it's quite possible that we'll get certain questions over and over, which is the reason FAQs exist in the first place.  It is acceptable to reply with a link to a relevant FAQ question provided you read their post carefully and make sure that it actually applies.  Just try to understand that when someone asks a question in a forum, they're looking for a personalized answer, and it's better to provide one and encourage discussion than just send them off to a FAQ link.
