    How about:
    Avoid using terminologies like M$, Windows$, etc. at least in the support forums. (though not nessecary IMO)
    Do not PM support questions. Start a thread so that everyone will benefit. (Stole from your sig, Matthew )

    Inclusion of sarcasm and snide remarks? I know its meant in humour but it often doesn't come out that way.

    Can something be added about double-posting or multi-posting.
    Be Safe. Use Linux.
    Double your drive space. Delete Windows.

    Re: We need DOs and DONTs in addition to CoC

    A pet peeve of mine is when you see a post in which the problem has been found and the person posting says something like "Never mind I fixed it!" leaving everyone hanging there wondering how it was fixed, asking the original poster to say what the fix was usually goes unanswered.

    A post should have a resolution, if the post is still active and people are able to still reply i.e. it's not read-only then someone should complete it. Someone could post a link to another post of the same topic in which the problem was found and explained, a simple and fast way to resolve it.

    If nobody knows how to fix the problem the post gets old and is set to read-only in that situation the post should be deleted otherwise it's just confusing and of no use to anyone, and a waste of storage space.
