Very off-topic discussion should be taken to another room. Feel welcome to join chat@conference.jabber.org, a friendly room with no particular topic.

==For moderators==
===Abusive language===
The user should be given a polite, clear warning about their language, and asked to stop. In the case that they question the rules, direct them to the rules on the wiki page [For Users]. Unless they are obviously intentionally in the room to cause trouble, there is no reason to kick them before giving warning.
===English only===
Please remember that people mostly come to the conference for help. They are new to Jabber, and should be welcomed, regardless of what language they speak. Direct them towards a room of their own language (see here [For Users->English only] for a list), so that they can be helped further. If 2 people are having an off-topic discussion, suggest that it be taken private.
The bot has some preset messages in various languages for guiding users in the right direction. Simply type !<country code>
===Private messages===
If someone is sending you private messages, reply to them in the channel, and ask them to talk there. Point them here [For Users->Don't Send Private Messages] if they question why.
===Bots===
Use your own judgement :)
===Politeness===
It is unfortunate that many internet users are unaware of basic netiquette. Just politely let them know of their errors, and do not become one of them in your annoyance!
