At joining, you were muted for 5 minutes so you can read the rules.

Groups like @Python and @Django are help groups for learners and developers.
For all other talk, go to @PythonOfftopic, where no topic is enforced but rules still apply.
See rule 🔟 for job-related posts.
All the groups that have @Doragonsureiya_bot as admin are related and are considered to be in a single groups-network.

For videos and tutorials, see our collection at @PythonRes.
For tips and commands, scroll to the bottom of this post.
If unsure about something, you may ask in the meta group, link below the rules.

☠️️ Using alt accounts to bypass bans is forbidden

⚠️⛔️WARNED/BANNED? Don't complain about it in the groups,
GO TO THE META GROUP!

Do not join the meta group, unless:
• You want to ask permission for ads
• You want to appeal a ban/warn (the affected account must join)
• You have a suggestion for us
• You want to ask about a certain rule
• Or you want to report a PM spammer (forwarded messages are evidence, screenshots are not)

Important thing:
• Don't ask to be admin/mod of the groups

TIPS

These are ways you can improve the odds of someone wanting to help you.

Be considerate when posting questions.
• Use a search engine (duck.com, google.com) before asking. Stackoverflow is your friend.
• Be straight to the point (do not ask to ask).
• Be specific, include as many details as you can.
• Show what you've tried to solve the problem (see rule 5).
• We simply don't care if anything is "urgent" - you've made your bed.

It's good style to limit the amount of sent messages; put effort into 1 message, rather than sending many of them, and edit messages to fix errors or include more information.

Don't call strangers "bro" nor "dear", this is considered rude in many countries.

The group bot has a lot of canned responses that can be used when replying to someone. The most commonly used ones are:
• !ol - Display a list of python groups for other languages.
• !paste - Display a list of pasting services.
• !markdown - Learn how to use markdown formatting.
• !res - Post the link to the Python resource collection.
• !meta - Tell someone to get to the point!

Message the bot privately to get a full list, and to try them out.

10 GROUP RULES:

They apply to all groups in the network, unless exceptions are explicitly stated.

1️⃣ Speak English only!

Send !ol in the group to get a list of groups in other languages.

2️⃣ Be civil and respect each other!

• No racism or discrimination!
• No arguing!
• Don't give bad advice!
For instance, don't recommend W3Schools or ChatGPT!
• Don't mention or tag users that are not participating in the group!

3️⃣ Be considerate!

1) The groups are tidy and focused on their topic! No off-topic conversations or messages! For off-topic conversations, use the off-topic group!
2) No flooding! That includes one word messages or repeating messages for attention!
3) No SPAM!
4) Don't abuse the bot!
5) No useless emojis! Of which most will be considered useless!
6) No nonsense messages!
7) No faulty user-bots!
8) Don't send useless messages like "Hi", "Hello", "How are you?", "Where are you from?", "I'm new here!".
9) No necro-posting! That is replying to old messages and trying to resurrect conversations!
10) No cross-posting! That is sending the same request or message in multiple groups.
11) Don't ask for support nor provide support for exams, homework, interviews or assignment requests/cheats/solutions, a.k.a. spoon-feeding!
12) Don't use names that hinder chat readability!
13) Don't discuss warns or bans in any group other than the meta group!
14) Don't copy and paste answers from ChatGPT or similar AI, neither suggest to use them!
15) Don't delete your messages after getting replies, avoid leaving context-less replies from other users

4️⃣ Media

• No NSFW media or content!
• No flashing or epilepsy-inducing animations!
• No photos or videos of screens taken with your phone camera!

5️⃣ Code sharing

• Be considerate!
• Try to use markdown formatting!
• For many lines (5-10+) of code, use a pasting service:
• dpaste.org
• hastebin.com
• Don't ever attach photos or videos of your screen taken with your phone camera!

6️⃣ Links

• Be transparent and don't anger the bot!
• Don't post a link without context - that's spam!
• No referral or shortened links!
• Don't ask for any group forwards or links!
• Don't send any group forwards or links!
• Asking to be sent groups privately is only allowed in our off-topic group!

7️⃣ Ads

• Ads are not allowed!
• Don't post advertisements or promotions (even worse if it's your own blog-posts)!
• But sharing open-source projects is OK if you ask for permission to post GitHub (or similar) repos in the meta group!
• Don't mention other groups, channels or bots.

8️⃣ No illegal activity

• This also means no piracy!
• No requesting or offering of any white/grey/black hat hacking!

9️⃣ Private messages

• Be transparent and respect people's inboxes!
• Do not request PMs in any on-topic group, no matter the reason!
• Do not tag people without a clear reason - that's spam!
• Do not send PMs without the recipient's consent; ask the person in the off-topic group first!
• This group is not to look up for teachers, instructors or mentors, if you have questions ask in the group, not in PM!
