== Software ==
 
−
If you like to chat a lot, webchat is not very convenient. So you should download an IRC client program. Here is some recommended free software:
 
−
 
 
−
* [https://hexchat.github.io/ HexChat]: Feature-rich program for Windows and GNU/Linux (and similar), continuation of now legacy XChat program
 
−
* [http://www.leafdigital.com/software/leafchat/ Leafchat]: Simple program for Windows, GNU/Linux and Mac OS)
 
−
* [http://www.irssi.org/ irssi] Pure console client
 
−
 
 
−
If you have difficulties in understanding IRC, [http://www.irchelp.org/ http://www.irchelp.org/] is a good resource.
 
−
 
 
−
== Rules ==
 
−
Some people don't know how to behave in IRC, so here are some simple rules:
 
−
 
 
−
* Don’t ask if you can ask questions, just ask
 
−
* Be patient when you ask something, people might not be around
 
−
* Don’t spam
 
−
* Don’t flood the channel with messages or bot commands
 
−
* Use a pastebin, such as [http://0bin.net 0bin] if you want to post more than 4 lines (e.g. error messages or code)
 
−
* Annoying, racist or any form of degrogatory term against any user or channel operator will probably get you quieted or even banned.
 
−
* If you’re going to ask someone something, saying "please" goes a very long way.
 
−
* The channels are not playgrounds and are frequently used for talks which are not off-topic.
 
−
* Off-topic is allowed, but excessive use of it is disallowed.
 
−
* Link shorteners are discouraged for URLs that are not very long.
