Channels¶
Post in the right place and you'll get an answer faster. Post in the wrong place and maybe someone will move you, or your question won't get seen.
Getting help¶
| You want | Channel type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Help with code that won't run | #python | Include the traceback. See asking good questions or the Python help forums |
| A review of code that works | #projects | Say what you want reviewed — style, structure, performance |
| Career or study advice | #professional-life | Not a job board unless staff say otherwise |
One question per channel. Don't be that guy. Asking the same thing in three places gets you three half-answers and an irritated moderator.
Everything else¶
| Channel type | For |
|---|---|
| General chat | Anything not a support request |
| Off-topic | Not Python. Still covered by the rules |
| Voice | Pair programming, study sessions, quiet co-working |
Threads¶
Use a thread when a conversation outlives its usefulness to the channel — a long debugging session, a tangent, a design argument. Start one, don't apologise for it.
Threads inherit the rules of their parent channel.
Bot commands¶
Commands work in most channels, but check before filling a help channel with bot output.
It's a long list...
The full list, with permissions and arguments, is in the Eos documentation.
