 	<p>Some people see languages as religions, this cannot be avoided. We all hate Java but we shouldn't lynch the people who write it. CoffeeScript might not be your cup of joe, so if someone is soliciting help in it, just ignore the conversation. Please use common sense while chatting in the room. We don't want to flag people but we will.</p>
 	<p>Swearing is tolorated so long as 1) you are not using it to insult another user. 2) you are not throwing around curse words like a 10 year old at summer camp. We understand emphesis and frustration can result in a fuck or two, but just try not to get out of hand.</p>
 	<p>Animated gifs are fun, and often entertaining and we all (mostly) enjoy them... at first. There is a timeout on editing posts, please take note of how long said timeout is and "un-onebox" the gif before it is too late. People like to enjoy the gif once, maybe twice, but over and over until the conversation pushes it off screen is annoying.</p>
+	<p>You may have already noticed there is a ChatBot in the room (often), and you can make him say or do evil things. Please do not abuse the Bot unless you really, really, REALLY must. If you make the bot say something stupid of offensive then we will flag you not the bot. I cannot re-enforce this enough: Please use common sense while chatting.</p>

+				<ol>
+					<li>Do you get more code from StackOverflow than you write on your own?</li>
+					<li>Do you feel entitled to help from StackOverflow users?</li>
+					<li>Do you believe in the philosophy "Just use jQuery"?</li>
+					<li>Do you spend more time looking for the right "plugin" than you likely would writing it on your own?</li>

+			<li><strong>10 simple steps to not being a Help Vampire.</strong>
+				<ol>
+					<li>Show effort: We really like to see that you are trying to achieve your goals on your own first.</li>
+					<li>Be ready to be wrong: Often we suggest you take a new approach.</li>
+					<li>Don't ask for help <strong>before</strong> doing the research yourself: If my google search returns your answer in the first three links, you are doing it wrong.</li>
+					<li>When given resources to learn, use them. We do not like repeating ourselves.</li>
+					<li>Do not beg for help: If you have asked once and we ignore you then move on.</li>
+					<li>Contribute to the community: We like to help people who also like to help people, it's pretty simple.</li>
+					<li>Don't ask for code: Pseudo code is more than helpful and will set you on your way.</li>
+					<li>Ask for help finding the answer, do not ask for the answer: we are not here to do your work.</li>
+					<li>Be polite: We are helping you, no need to be rude.</li>
+					<li>Crack a joke or two: who doesn't like to laugh.</li>
+				</ol>
+			</li>
+			<li><strong>How to format your code.</strong>
+				<p>Formatting your code is very simple, and so long as you can remember two rules you will be a code formatting master in no time.</p>
+				<ol>
+					<li>Inline code needs to be wrapped in ``. Take for example this text "How would I parse `object.property`?", would turn into:<br>
+					How would I parse <code>object.property</code>?
+					</li>
+					<li>If your text contains a hard line break (not a natual overflow) then inline formatting (``) will no longer work. <strong>YOU MUST AT THIS POINT USE FIXED FONT</strong>.<br>
+					    To use Fixed Font you can either press CTRL+K or press the "Fixed Font" button on the right of the input.<br>
+						<em>Note: Fixed Font insets a tab before the text, this is the same as main site code formatting.</em>
+					</li>
+				</ol>
+				<br>
+				<p>Tools have been made to help with text formatting in the chats. See <a href="#">Useful Links</a> for more information.</p>
+			</li>
+		</ul>
+	</div>
+	<div class="span6">
+		<ul>
+			<li><strong>When is it appropriate to use a paste service?</strong>
+			<p>If you are thinking about pasting some code into the chat for review or discussion please use a paste service if the code is over 15 lines long. This is not a hard rule, but it is just a nice thing to do. Always remember formatting when posting code, even in paste services.</p>
+			<p>For a list of paste servies see See <a href="#">Useful Links</a>.</p>
+			</li>
+			<li><strong>How to link questions from the main site?</strong>
+			<p>Links to main site questions on any StackExchange site will onebox in the chat. So, if you would like to post a link to your question please post it by itself, not additional text (in that post). This way we can see the onebox and get a little more information at a glance, it will also help your chances of having the question viewed.</p>
+			<p>Please don't spam links to your question. Most regulars will browse the transcript if they have missed a bit of time, this is when your question will be seen. The active people in the room don't need to see it posted 4 times with the question, "Anyone?".</p>
+			</li>
+			<li><strong>Don't ask to ask questions!</strong>
+				<p>This has to be the biggest annoyance for any room owner or regular. We are on a Question and Answer site; so yea, I'm pretty sure it's ok for you to ask a question here.</p>
+				<p>Keep in mind that asking to ask a question will invoke snarky remarks and will hinder your questions chances of being answered. So once again, just ask your damn question!</p>
