Dont’s
:x: Asking a very vague question (e.g. I want to use Checkmk, pls help me thx)
:x: 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])
:x: Abusive language and unhelpful criticism (e.g. ranting). It’s okay to be dissatisfied and get impatient, but please make it reasonable.
:x: Spamming
:x: Using @mentions frequently and extensively without thinking about whether it is relevant for the people mentioned
:x: Aggressively demanding for answers. If your problem is very critical, please contact a staff member during working hours (CET) .
