1.1. Before creating a new topic or message, you should carefully read the rules adopted in this section (see paragraph 2. of Chapter II), as well as general restrictions and prohibitions (see paragraph 2. of this chapter).
1.2 If you are creating a topic, then think about whether this issue should really be discussed in the selected section? Reread the section of the Section Rules that relates to the topic. Think about whether your question is a boundary question (located at the junction of the topics of two sections) - also study the rules of such boundary sections.
1.3. If you cannot make a choice yourself - contact the moderator. He will tell you where to create a theme.
1.4 Choose a topic name responsibly. It should be informative, that is, it should reflect the essence of the issue as accurately as possible. Avoid grammatical errors and slang in the title and description of the topic.
1.5 After you have selected a section, do not rush to create a topic. It is very likely that your question was discussed earlier. Use the filter (search). At the same time, consistently filter by several suitable keywords.
1.6. If you find a general topic on a program, hardware or issue (for this example - "All Kali Linux"), then study that topic by searching the selected keywords in the "Print version". Pay attention to the topic header - there can be a lot of useful things there.
1.7. If you mistakenly created a topic in the wrong section where you planned (or realized that the choice was wrong) - in no case create a similar topic in another section. Intentional duplication of topics is strictly prohibited and leads to immediate blocking of the login. Better contact a moderator - he will move your topic where it should be.
1.8 When answering an existing topic, try to speak to the point, avoid philosophizing, lyrical digressions, slang and grammatical errors. Remember that advertising messages will result in your login being blocked immediately.
1.9 Do not forget that you are on the forum. This is not an e-mail where you need to greet the interlocutors ("Hello, dear!"). This is not the case here. Signing messages other than using standard means of signature (see paragraphs 9-15 of Chapter IX) is also unacceptable.
