Chat guidelines

Genius Vision NVR Community Edition is released under free-for-non-commercial-use for 7 years. We are changing it since 2017/12/19, so you wouldn't be able to use it like it has always been. There is a reason for this, and this is a temporary measure. The aim of this channel is to discuss how to increase the revenue of Genius Vision so that our continued support to this free software is possible.

With that being said, this is not really a "chat freely" channel. All things said are still under admin-moderation. We need to keep language clean and keep discussion productive. If someone just want complain without any constructive suggestions, we wouldn't want that. The langauge guideline is at followng section. Also, we need to concentrate on the topic a channel is designed for. Aimless discussion is not productive in any situation.

In the forum, we will direct the topic of discussion, please follow the discussion, and try not to control it. Please also scroll up the chat history and try not to ask duplicated question that has been repeatedly answered before.

Also, if you just want to try the software in full function to see if it fits your need, please download our commercial free trial edition at http://geniusvision.net/ or (64-bit at http://geniusvision.net/nvr-enterprise-x64.html). You can try this full-function commercial software for 30 days freely, without having to become any patrons. There is almost no functional difference between the trial edition and the Community Edition.

Language guidelines

The language rules of the #general also apply in this channel, specifically: do not use languages of "high frequency" or "strong demand" to disrupt the order and focus of the forum.

To put simply, I think it's safe to assume most people come here don't know each other personally. In a way we are all strangers coming together to discuss a common interested topic. We'd expect the same politeness you would give to any other strangers.

I mean, you wouldn't go in front of a stranger, who doesn't owe you anything, and say: Hey stranger, I need you to do this for me! Why don't you do what I want? Why would you do something I don't want? If you don't do what I want you to do, I will say something bad!", or something like that, would you?

If you would, you are generally not considered to be a polite person, and therefore will not be treated like one. In that case, we might try to give out some warning before issuing a perma-ban, but in our experiences, some  users are set out to use bad languages so warning seldom works.

If we can all respect each other, we can live with different opinions. Please kindly keep in mind that, if something is free, then no one owes you anything.
