GitHub allows users to comment nearly everywhere. You can comment on issues, on commits, or even on one concrete line of a commit. This is a very powerful tool, but also has a great potential for abuse. | GitHub allows users to comment nearly everywhere.

Many of the devs have comments feeding directly into our inboxes, and a bunch of spam for smileys or statements like "make it faster plz" isn't what we consider a good time.

* Comments should be relevant to the commit/issue and should contain '''useful information'''. | |||
* If you're having general problems with PCSX2, you can use our [https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/issues Issue Tracker], or if you don't really know what revision causes it, our [http://forums.pcsx2.net/ Public Forum]. This way we can discuss and troubleshoot the issue in depth, in its right place. | |||
* Statements like "Please make it faster" or "please fix my game" are not acceptable and will be deleted. | |||
* Phrasing the statement as a question like "Will this make it faster?" or "Will this fix my game?" is not acceptable either, and will also be deleted. | |||
* If we delete your post, there was a good reason for it. Deleting posts without justification would be counter-productive, much the same way that allowing posts with no relevant content would also be counter-productive. | |||
* If you find yourself thinking that the PCSX2 Team is some group of irrational dictators who delete posts simply because we don't like your opinion, then you '''probably shouldn't be posting.''' | |||
