Be kind and courteous: Treat all community members with kindness, respect, and empathy. Encourage healthy and constructive discussions.
No spam, or excessive self-promotion: Refrain from posting unsolicited advertisements, promotional materials, or excessive self-promotion. You can share your IT-related blog or project in the #share-projects channel.

Failure to follow these guidelines may result in warnings, temporary suspensions, or permanent bans, depending on the severity and frequency of the violations. Please report violations by DM @Shih-Wen Su on Slack.
