+Netiquette
- Once you have joined the Slack workspace, feel free to ask any DOMjudge-related
- questions you might have. Please do note that it may sometimes take a bit longer
- than a few minutes to get a response, partly because people might be in different timezones.

+ Once you have joined the Slack workspace, feel free to ask any
+ DOMjudge-related questions you might have. Please do take some
+ common internet etiquette in consideration:
+
+
+ - Don't demand (quick) answers
+ -
+ We're all volunteers doing this in our free time. Although we
+ do our best to respond to questions, people may not always be
+ available due to timezone differences or simply other reasons.
+
+
+ - Ask questions in public channels
+ -
+ Do not ask questions privately, unless you're invited to or
+ you know that that person knows the answer and this is not
+ relevant to others.
+
+
+ - Provide clear details
+ -
+ When you run into a problem or error, provide as detailed as
+ possible how you got there and any exact errors you got. The
+ more details you provide, the better and quicker we can help.
+
+
+ - Prefer text over screenshots
+ -
+ When possible, copy\&paste error messages, configuration
+ data, etc. as
code quoted text
instead of
+ screenshots. This makes it easier to read on any device and
+ copy&paste.
