Before you post

Before creating a new topic, take a moment to check the basics:

What to checkWhy it matters
Search firstYour question may already have an answer or an ongoing discussion
Choose the right categoryIt helps other readers find and answer your topic faster
Use a clear titleA good title makes the topic easier to understand later
Keep one topic per postIt keeps answers focused and easier to follow
Add enough contextExplain your goal, what you tried, and where you got stuck
Remove sensitive informationDo not post passwords, tokens, customer data, or private system details

Netiquette

RuleWhat it means
Be respectfulCriticise ideas, not people
Assume good intentStart from the idea that others are trying to help
Stay constructiveExplain what you mean and avoid hostile wording
Stay on topicKeep replies relevant to the original question or discussion
Avoid spam and promotionThe forum is for product and community discussion, not advertising
Do not post the same topic multiple timesCross-posting makes answers harder to track
Write clearlyShort paragraphs and precise wording help others respond faster

When the forum is not the right place

Do not use the community forum for urgent, private, or security-sensitive issues. Public discussion is helpful for shared questions, but not for topics that require confidential handling.

If you need an official source that can be linked in documentation, support replies, or release communication, use help.octoja.de instead.
