> Codes of Conduct
> ================
>
> * The list is a Debian communication forum. As such, it is subject to both
> the Debian mailing list Code of Conduct and the main Debian Code of Conduct
> https://www.debian.org/MailingLists/#codeofconduct <-- URL is
> inaccessible
> https://www.debian.org/code_of_conduct
>
> Guidelines for this list
> ========================
> Some guidelines which may help explain how the list should work:
>
> Language
> ========
>
> * The language on this mailing list is English. There may be other mailing
> lists that are language-specific, for example, debian-user-french or
> debian-user-catalan
>
> * It is common for users to be redirected here from other lists, for example,
> from debian-project. It is also common for people to be posting here when
> English is not their primary language. Please be considerate.
>
> Answering questions and contributing to discussions constructively
> ==================================================================
>
> * This is a fairly busy mailing list but even so you may have to wait some
> time for an answer - please be patient.
>
> * Help and advice on this list is provided by volunteers in their own time.
> It is common for there to be different opinions or answers provided.
>
> * It is not necessary to answer every post on the mailing list.
>
> * Be constructive in your responses. It may be that somebody else answers
> a question before you - if so, you should not reply simply in order to get
> the last word in, only reply if you can add useful information.
>
> Off-topic posts
> ===============
>
> * Please try to stay on topic.
>
> * Off-topic posts will happen occasionally as threads wander.
> Don't reply to them to make them carry on.
>
> * If you wish to introduce an off-topic subject that might be
> of interest to the wider list, start a new thread and preface
> the title with [OT].
>
> * There is no debian-offtopic mailing list: please don't try
> to start one.
>
> Partisan topics and political arguments
> * Arguments for the sake of it are not
> welcome here.
>
> * Partisan political / religious / cultural arguments do not belong here
> either.
>
> Debian's community is world wide; do not assume others will agree with your
> views or need to read them on a Debian list.
>
> Editing and answering mailing list posts
> ========================================
>
> * It is helpful to write meaningful subject lines. If you change subject
> or emphasis in mid-thread, please change the subject line on your email
> accordingly so that this can be clearly seen.
>
> For example: New question [WAS Old topic]
>
> * It may also be useful for someone to post a summary email from time to
> time to explain long threads.
>
> * Before posting, it may be useful to check your post for spelling mistakes
> and scan it for redundancy, duplicate words and redundancy.
>
> * Clear replies and a short mailing list thread are much easier to
> read and follow than long threads.
>
> * If you are replying to a post, please reply in-line if possible and
> cut out extra text that is not relevant to your point.
>
> Private replies and responding to posts off-list
> ================================================
>
> * Please post answers back to the list so others can benefit: private
> conversations don't benefit people who may only be following
> along on the list or reading the archives later.
>
> * We're only human: you may want to respond to someone off-list
> to make a point (or to wish them Happy Birthday / comment that you
> haven't seen them for a long time). We're also a community and the
> people you find on the list may become familiar friends
>
> BUT
>
> * Posting outside the list can be unhelpful: bad behaviour outside the lists
> can't easily be dealt with and will be invisible. You may inadvertently leak
> personal information by posting a private reply back to the list.
>
> If you *do* want to post outside the list - make it clear that you have done
> so at the top of the message. If someone replies to you privately and you
> think that this should go back to the list - ask them to post it to the list
> - do not just do so on their behalf without checking.
>
> I can't see what I want here - help me!
> =======================================
>
> * It is often useful to look through the archives to see whether the issue
> you wish to raise or a similar issue has been raised before by someone
> else. The top level link to the archives of this list is at
> https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/ organised by year, then month.
>
> * Although there are only 20 or 30 regular contributors, there may
> be a couple of thousand readers in the background. Nobody is
> a mind reader, nobody can sit beside you. Please help by providing
> useful details if asked, especially which version of Debian you are
> running.
>
> I'm not using Debian but ...
> ============================
>
> * Strictly, discussions of other distributions are off-topic here.
> Please note: advice on Linux distributions other than Debian will be
> only our best guess - other distributions may do things very differently.
> Any advice given accordingly may be inaccurate but is given in good faith.
>
> FAQ topics
> ==========
>
> * There is an FAQ on the Debian wiki derived from some questions asked on this
> list at https://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser
>
> This is a public list, archived in many places
> ==============================================
>
> * One question that comes up on almost all Debian lists from time to time
> is of the form:
>
> "I have done something wrong / included personal details in an email.
> Could you please delete my name / details / remove the mail"
>
> Practically, this is impossible: the mailing lists are archived, potentially
> cached by Google and so on.
>
> Unfortunately, there is nothing much we can do to ensure that all copies
> anywhere on the Internet are deleted. Asking to do this may only serve to
> draw further attention - the so-called "Streisand effect"
> See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect
>
> Problems and inappropriate behaviour?
> =====================================
>
> Complaints about inappropriate behaviour should be referred to the
> Debian Community Team <[email protected]>.
>
> Inappropriate behaviour on the list may lead to warnings: repeated bad
> behaviour may lead to temporary or permanent bans for offenders.
