===Guidance on IRC ettiquette===
    
    * Due to the small number of members, conversation on the channel will at times be non existent.
    * Do not TYPE IN UPPERCASE as this is considered shouting.
    * When requesting help for a technical question, please wait for a response.
    * #Orbiter-Forum is an informal chat. There will, more often than not, be conversations not relating to Orbiter.
    * Changing your nickname is disruptive and makes it difficult for other users to follow conversations.
    * If you are unsure of the rules, think would you post it on the forum. If not, don't post it on the channel.
    * Bots are strongly discouraged.
