  1. Don't ask to ask, Don't state: "I have a question", Don't ask: "Is anyone around?" or "Can anyone help?". Just Ask The Question
  2. Don't Repeat. If nobody answers your question, don't just repeat it; we all heard you the first time. more likely, nobody knows the answer /msg php-bot ask, or you need to provide more information.
  3. Read http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html before asking another question, that is, if you want a smart answer.
  4. /msg the bot. There's no need to ask him in public.
  5. Be polite and patient.
  6. Don't flood/paste. >= 3 lines constitutes a flood and you will be punished. This is your warning. /msg php-bot pastebin. Also /msg php-bot enter
  7. No spam, bots, scripts, trolls, job postings, away/back messages. All these things decrease our already low signal:noise ratio. Ask me about jobs for more info on job postings.
  8. If it's not a PHP question, dont ask. Try any of these channels depending on your question: SQL Q's: #sql, #mysql or #postgresql. Apache Q's: #httpd. Linux Q's: Either #yourdistro, #linuxhelp or #linpeople. HTML/CSS/JavaScript Q's: #html/#css/##javascript or #web. Just because some other channel is 'dead' does NOT mean you can ask here.
  9. Don't PM without permission
  10. We don't support script(s). We help you write PHP, not recommend or download and install/hack/modify/adapt/use pre-written scripts or third party APIs. Contact the authors of the script for support options they provide.
  11. ##php is a manual supplement. Read the manual FIRST, If after reading the manual you still have difficulties, then you are welcome to ask questions in ##php
  12. Spelling and grammar do matter. Speak well and you will be treated well. cH47 l33t N u r 2 b 0wnx0r3d!!!!!!!!
  13. ##php is an english speaking ONLY channel, please go to #php.Language_Code for your own languages, i.e. #php.de or #php.fr or #php.es
  14. never argue with the guidelines or an Op (See Also: Patriot Act)
  15. The purpose of ##php is to assist those who have EXHAUSTED their resources (manual, Google, appropriate IRC channels, etc) in developing their own PHP code. We are not your personal slaves; don't treat us like it. Respect the channel guidelines, as ignorance is no excuse. We're not babysitters; please act maturely. Ignoring the spirit of this notice may lead to bans without prior warning. Don't like it? Leave. It's that simple.
