This subforum is a frequent target of unrelated posts and unhelpful content, so here's what will and will not be tolerated here, along with a FAQ section
Avoid unrelated threads:
This subforum is for discussing programming and Brick Hill scripting, not anything else. If you don't think your question or post relates to scripting, it probably doesn't belong here. Threads that are incorrectly posted in this subforum will either be moved or deleted. Posts regarding how to host Brick Hill servers are exempt from this rule, though should generally be kept to the Support subforum to reduce clutter.
Avoid unhelpful answers:
Please refrain from answering questions with 'I don't know', 'I also have this question' or similar - this benefits absolutely nobody and is essentially just post farming. Not knowing the answer is fine, but you don't have to reply to every question asked here and say you don't know or that you share similar queries.
State your question in your thread's title:
Do not create threads that simply state that you have a question or problem regarding scripting without actually mentioning what this question or problem is in the thread. This wastes the time of not only you, but other people on this sub forum. This obviously does not apply if you are merely discussing scripting and not asking a question.
Remember the human:
Everyone starts somewhere. Even if somebodies solution to the original poster's problem is sloppy, broken or unoptimized do not berate them - politely explain how their code or answer could be improved so everyone benefits from the situation.
Try to avoid duplicate queries:
Before asking a question in this subforum, attempt to discover if your question has been answered before. This saves people time having to repeatedly answer the same questions over and over again.
Do not post malicious code:
If you post code that is deliberately intended to negatively affect the original poster or others, you will be banned.
