-**Some #kivy guidelines**
+**Please read our**
+**`Community Guidelines `_**
+**before asking for help on the mailing list or IRC channel.**
-* Be polite and respectful towards other users.
-* Please use English for all messages and in any code posted.
-* Do not post large log/code copy and pastes to the channel, instead use a site
- such as http://pastebin.com/ or https://gist.github.com/ .
-* If you have a question, be clear and succinct to ensure the fastest response.
- Don't just say "it doesn't work" or “help”. Instead, describe what you
- expected to happen and what actually happened. Show code, pictures, or error
- logs as necessary.
-* If your code follows `PEP8 `_
- you will most likely receive a quicker answer.
-* Try to lower the barrier to helping you as much as possible, if we need to
- run your application, share it in one file like in
- `this template `_. Do not
- share your entire application, share a simple example that showcases only the
- issue you are experiencing.
-* **Avoid topics that may make others uncomfortable or that are excessively
- incendiary.** #kivy is a community for learning and troubleshooting. There
- are other places for discussions on sex, drugs, politics, religion, and
- anything else you can think of to talk about that could potentially be
- uncomfortable or inflammatory in nature for others.
-* **Also Avoid**:
- * Racial epithets of any kind regardless of context.
- * Excessive Swearing.
- * Misogynist, misandrist, homophobic or transphobic behavior or attitudes.
