Netiquette

#include <social-behaviour.h>

All other social rules apply, i.e., be nice, be respectful, be helpful, have fun.

No public logging

What happens in #octave stays in #octave.

Just ask your question

Do not ask to ask, do not ask if anyone knows how to use foo, just ask the question. It's the best way to know if anyone can help.

No paste

Do not paste code on the channel. Use a paste service such as Agora, bpaste, or paste. Use for pictures.

No private message without permission

That's considered rude unless you know the other person. Always ask on the channel first and take the conversation to private.
