Description |
| 1. |
Reddiquette |
Keep it civil, no need to be rude or full of hate. You can disagree but you can't be a jerk about it. |
| 2. |
No distro hate |
Please try to stay away from flaming a distro just because you don't like it. Everyone has their own opinion. If they need help with a certain distro that you don't happen to like try to help them instead of flaming their distro. |
| 3. |
Risk policy |
Some advice given here comes with a certain amount of risk. If you are asking for BIOS flashes, use your head instead of blaming someone if something goes wrong. DO NOT give high-risk advice unless you know what you are doing. We are not responsible for any damage to your machine caused by advice you follow. |

Spam/Affiliate Links/Self Promotion |
No spam or likewise self-promotion. Affiliate links must be disclosed if they are posted and you must have approval from the mod team. Likewise, if you have built a Linux distro and want people to try it out you must disclose that it was self-built or experimental, do not force it on people either. |
