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.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    So many people spell it incorrectly that I'm starting to worry that "sike" will become the official spelling. Language evolves, but I don't want it to.

    Or "would of", "could of", "should of". Enunciate your words. "have" and "of" sound different.

    Excellent point, but "would've", "could've", and "should've" sound like "would of", "could of", and "should of".

    So the problem doesn't lie solely in enounciation.

    If you think "of" and "have" (or it's contraction) sound alike, you're part of the problem. "Of" has a softer finish more like "ovf" than "ov". The transition from 'o' to 'f' starts hard with a 'v' but finishes with a soft 'f'.
