  • 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!

    Yeah, but not everything gets accepted. Like, for example, I use Viber and they won't accept it because it doesn't do version numbering when doing releases... and you have no idea when they will update. Basically, short of unpacking the deb and checking the version in the ELF binary, there is no way to know which version you're running. So, I just post those obscure or out of date software templates on GH and other places.

    I've also submitted a few times in the official repo... for things I know that I use reglarly and can maintain. Basically, most of them don't have that many updates, like once or twice a year, so that's why I opted to submit and maintain them, lol ๐Ÿ˜‚.
