Basic Slack Guidelines
Basic Slack Guidelines
- Real Name & Real Picture - So we are a friends and a kind of family. So use your real name and use a picture of yourself.
- Stay on Target - Try and keep conversations about topics in the channel topic.
- Off topic conversation go in random.
- If there is an off topic conversation that requires its own channel we can make one ( IE Minecraft or Pokemon GO)
- Keep it PG . . . 13 - We aim for a PG-13 rating (that's more relaxed on language than you think)
- Don't be Stupid - Don't do anything that would get you kicked out of school.
