% Rules and code of conduct

Usage privileges
================

Niksula workstations and services are primarily meant for CSE students.  Using
them is allowed only with a **personal** user account. Using or "borrowing" the
accounts of other users is strictly prohibited, whether you have the account
owner's permission or not.

Applying for an account or recovering a lost password requires proving your
identity to the administration (the student card is enough).

Remember: the ability to use Niksula services is a **privilege**, not a right.

Niksula code of conduct
=======================

These basic rules must be observed while using Niksula services. Breaking the
code of conduct may result in a temporary or permanent loss of your usage
privileges.

General
-------

Handle all hardware, furniture and other materials present in Paniikki in a
clean and appropriately careful fashion so that they will last longer. In the
event that something does break, immediately notify the administration so that
it can be fixed. Do not attempt repairs yourself.

Computers
---------

**Shutting down, rebooting or booting the machines is the admins' job. Keep
your hands off the power switch.**

 * If the computer is off, do not turn it on. It might be off because there's
   something wrong with it.
 * If the computer is on, do not turn it off, even if it's not working or is
   stuck. Ask the admins for assistance.

**Turning off or rebooting any Niksula machine is grounds for temporary or
permanent termination of your user account.**

Monitors
--------

Despite users' continued attempts to use the monitors as pointing devices,
Niksula still does not have touch screens. Keep your fingers off the displays.
Like the computers, the monitors should not be turned off. They will enter
power-save after a period of inactivity.

Cleanliness
-----------

Keeping Paniikki clean is important for everyone's comfort. Clean up after
yourself: don't leave trash, soda bottles, coffee cups, papers or anything else
lying around on the desks or hardware. If your hands are dirty, wash them
before touching the keyboard.
