# Don't Ask to Ask
Don't ask to ask a question in chat, or on iris. Just ask your question!
Asking to ask is pointless. Either someone will answer your question, or they wont. Corollary: [Don't be Impatient](/wiki/unsorted/ubergeek/impatient). Sometimes, people are busy, and might take more than 10 seconds to respond.
Bad Convo Example:
```
9:00 You: Can I get some help with something?
... waiting ...
9:10 You: can I get someone to help me?
9:15 ubergeek: My bad, I was busy... What do you need?
9:18 You: My foo isn't bar'ing! And I have no idea what to do.
9:19 ubergeek: Oh, you have to flim the flam, and then foo will bar.
```
Good Convo Example:
```
9:00 You: I need some help, my foo isn't bar'ing. Anyone to lend a hand?
9:15 ubergeek: Sorry, was busy. But you need to flim the flam, then your foo will bar.
9:16 You: Thanks! I owe you a beer!
```
In bad convo, your resolution took longer, and you likely irritated ubergeek by being impatient. In Good Convo, your problem was resolved a bit quicker, and ubergeek was happy to help!
PS [Ubergeek](https://thunix.net/~ubergeek) is happy to help, regardless.

# Don't Be Impatient
Being impatient in getting help on Thunix will score you no points at all in credibility... For a few reasons:
* Thunix is ran by an all-volunteer team. We don't get paid to do this. We get some donations, but usually, not even enough to break even.
* Thunix is self-documented, generally (If it's not, it's a bug, and an issue should be submitted [here](https://tildegit.org/thunix/documentation) or a new wiki page made [here](https://tildegit.org/thunix/wiki).
* Thunix is maintained by a set of automation scripts. If something isn't working, a PR [here](https://tildegit.org/thunix/ansible) can be done, to fix the problem.
So, if you ask a question in [#thunix](https://web.tilde.chat/?join=thunix), be patient. There's generally not a lot of chatter, and it just takes a bit to catch up. If it's been "too long", feel free to open an issue in [the pertinent repo](https://tildegit.org/thunix) or email the admin team at root at thunix.net.

# Don't Just Say 'Hello' In Chat

Just saying "Hello", and nothing else in a chat room is just as bad as [asking to ask](askingtoask). Just saying "Hello" does two kinda bad things:
