What is the code of conduct for the mailing lists?

When using the Debian mailing lists, please follow these rules:

  Do not send spam. See the Debian mailing list advertising policy (

http://www.

debian.org/MailingLists/#ads

).

  Do not flame; it is not polite. The people developing Debian are all volunteers, donating

their time, energy and money in an attempt to bring the Debian project together.

  Do not use foul language; besides, some people receive the lists via packet radio, where

swearing is illegal.

  Make sure that you are using the proper list. Never post your (un)subscription requests

to the mailing list itself
