Dont’s
Asking a very vague question (e.g. I want to use Checkmk, pls help me thx)
One-line posts. Please try to be polite; Adding a simple ‘Hi everyone’ and giving more context about your question can go a long way. (e.g. How to monitor Docker? [end of post])
Abusive language and unhelpful criticism (e.g. ranting). It’s okay to be dissatisfied and get impatient, but please make it reasonable.
Spamming
Condescending statements, especially when talking to beginners. Please be nice
Aggressively demanding for answers. If your problem is very critical, please contact a staff member during working hours (CET) .
