2. Be civil

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.
