I am new to the forum, like all forums, there are a set of rules that should be followed, I wanted to know what they are for this forum.

Good point, I don't rememeber any official forum rules. But I can give you some recommendations if you want to:
Be nice.

Don't start a flamewar.

There are no official rules. There have been threads about having a CoC and the majority was against it. General opinion usually is „instead of thinking about rules, just write some Nim code“. There also isn't some big sign on your front door which tells you how to behave while out on the street, yet people get along with each other most of the time.

The rule is: Utilise common sense and the Golden Rule.

The problem with the Golden Rule is that some values are subjective.

Take my last few posts for example. Some saints out there actually think that my jokes are funny, and that my occasional "keep it copyfree" advocacy is not particularly annoying. :)

Too bad for you then that one admin disagrees... :P

I understand. The point is that people can be irritating despite best intentions, and all recommendations listed on this thread thus-far are not sufficient...
