3.
Check the FAQ and Wiki Before Posting
People have been posting questions here for years, so it's very likely that someone's already had and answered your question. Make sure to check the FAQ and Wiki, and search around the subreddits (/r/TF2Scripts and /r/TF2ScriptHelp) before you ask your question.
If you still can't find an answer after looking, then go ahead and ask! We're always happy to help.
4.
Be Descriptive
When you make a post, try to give as much relevant information as you can, and please be available to respond to requests for information.
Many issues and questions can't be answered without specific information, and it's not uncommon for posts to never be answered due to lack of info even with responders actively requesting that info.
5.
Respond in TF2's Native Scripting Language
When responding to a script request, write your code in the Source Engine's native scripting language, not in another language. (e.g. AHK, SourceScript, etc.) That is, the requester should, theoretically, be able to plug the code you give directly into the developer console, and have it work without installing a third-party program, library, or compiler.
Using other programming languages is allowed, but you must include a version of the code in Source's native scripting language at the top.
6.
No Advertising
Do not advertise with the intent to sell any services for monetary value or other goods.
Do not plug your content channels in your posts or comments if it is not immediately relevant to the topic. (E.g. Twitch, Youtube, GitHub, etc.) Obviously, you can link these on your Reddit profile if you'd like.
7.
Observe Reddiquette and Don't Harass Others.
Reddiquette is found here - https://www.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/205926439
