Rules
Rules are simple:
- Write in any language (it could be automatically translated with a single button), but English is preferable.
- Think twice before posting a message. Don’t abet off-topic: check the category, the topic name. If in doubt, prefer creating new topic than posting in existing one of similar but not exactly your topic/issue. If the offtopic question is valid, reply with private message.
- Swearing is allowed within reasonable extent. Better be active-aggressive than passive-aggressive.
- Use simple language wherever possible or acceptable, to improve automatic translation quality.
- No commercial advertisement allowed.
