#web General Rules

1) Be respectful. The people in the channel have no obligation to help you and they don't receive any form of compensation for doing so | |
2) Have patience. You might understand exactly what the problem is, but other people will have to ask (basic) questions first | |
3) Be specific. What is the issue that you're having, what is the behaviour that you want to happen. Have a link ready so that people can visit the page with the problem, or make a test case on http://liveweave.com | |
4) For chatting and offtopic questions, go to #web-social | |
4.1) Chatting and off-topic discussion is fine as long as its not disrupting on-topic discussion. If someone asks you to move to #web-social, please do. | |
5) There is no "best" way of doing things | |
6) There is no "best" framework or cms | |
7) Saying something sucks or is stupid will only cause flamewars | |
8) The exception to 7 is GoDaddy. GoDaddy sucks. | |
9) If you're trying to help someone and they won't or can't do it your way, stop trying to convince them. It generally doesn't end well | |
10) Don't discuss channel bans or quiets. If you have a complaint about the way an op acted, bring it up in #web-social. | |
11) We are here to help people of all skill levels. Being condescending or demeaning towards people will not be tolerated. | |
12) Impersonating OPs is the quickest way to get the ban-hammer |

Is #web-social the best place to discuss op decisions? I feel #web-ops would be more appropriate.
It would be nice if #web's topic would be changed to something like the following to include other channels for specific questions. I added SVG for SVG specific questions and another site for code samples.
#httpd could be added for Apache related questions. #firefox has a channel. #google has a list of channels for its web products.
Also, shouldn't these rules be on the hashweb.org page?
This is just my opinion.
