Welcome to the MA furs tech channel! These rules are in a text file because Lyude is too lazy to
setup her web server. Tl;dr, the rules are the same here as the ones in the MA furs channel with
some minor additions:

                                      Be considerate of others

* No NSFW imagery, MA furs has a dedicated channel for that anyway
* Begin with assuming good faith.
  * We have an opportunity to be excellent to each other through our actions.
  * Be respectful of others and treat them as you'd like to be treated yourself.

                               Be considerate of our shared resources

* Avoid behaviour that doesn't help constructively continue conversations.
  * Feigned surprise. When someone says "I don't know what X is", you don't say "You don't know what
    X is?!" or "I can't believe you don't know what X is!".
  * Fan-boyism that doesn't acknowledge individual's decisions for selecting one product/operating
    system/programming language over another.
  * Trolling by posting content with the intention to provoke a reaction.
* Understand some of our members cannot interact with leaked materials.
  * Be mindful of sharing information that is not freely available to the general public. This
    includes material published on websites like https://wikileaks.org/
  * Allow individuals to decide what's right for them to see by providing the relevant context.
    * You must tag links leaked content and not directly post source code, diagrams, or other
      development resources that could be relevant to active products.
    * It is generally okay to broadly discuss the contents of a leak or to discuss leaked early
      builds/cancelled projects.

                                     Be considerate of yourself

* Recognise when you're not able to effectively participate in a discussion.
  * We pretend to be animal people on the internet, but we are all human here. We make mistakes, we
    have bad days, and we get emotional.
  * Allow yourself to step away from your computer/phone and let cooler heads prevail.
* It's okay to not know something.
  * None of us were born with the knowledge we have today.
  * We are here to learn from each other and further develop ourselves as individuals.
  * Use a search engine first before asking questions, but don't be afraid to ask if you need help.
  * Understand people might be busy or may not immediately see your question.

                                           Who to contact

* Currently @Lyude is the moderator of this channel! More may be added in the future.
