Go through all the rules and the links mentioned in this post. Contravening the rules laid out here will result in a warning (least likely) or a ban (most likely).
This group is meant only for C/C++ discussion.
For chitchat of any other kind, go to the Offtopic chat, where anything unrelated to C/C++ programming can be discussed subject to the rules laid out for that group.
For information on learning C/C++, see our list of resources at @Resources
RULES:
1. Only English language is allowed. If you don't speak English, then this group is not for you. Please look elsewhere.
2. This group is meant to be used for C/C++ discussions alone. Assembly language discussions are allowed as well. The moderators' intention is to keep this group clean and to stick to the purpose the group was created for. Hence, questions or discussions about anything else is strictly forbidden. This further means that:
• You should not send useless messages like "Hi"/"Hello", "I'm new here" and similar.
• You should not send useless messages like "Does anyone know XYZ?", "Has anyone used XYZ?". Just ask your question directly.
• You should not ask questions without checking your problem in Google or any other search engine. Doing so will result in a warning.
• You should not ask exams/homework/interviews solutions. This will get you banned.
Asking for something that is there in the pinned message right after joining will get you banned.
3. NSFW content (porn, nudity etc) is not allowed.
4. Religion, politics and ideological topics are forbidden.
5. A little bit of programming related jokes and memes are allowed subject to admin group's discretion.
6. Advertisements of any kind are forbidden. Job postings will be allowed only in certain cases. Please check with one of the admins first before posting a job related ad. Not doing so will result in a ban.
7. Code sharing is encouraged subject to the following rules:
• Try to use markdown formatting.
• For many lines (10+) of code, use a pasting service like Gist, Pastebin, Ubuntu Paste, Hastebin. Don't post walls of code in the chat window. Firstly, it inconveniences others and secondly, you are unlikely to get a response and may even get warned or banned.
• Don't attach photos or videos of your screen. Screenshot captures are ok.
8. No illegal activity. This also means no piracy, no requesting/offering hacking/no posting of compiled executables. This will result in an immediate ban.
9. Respect people's privacy. Don't message someone in the group without the recipient's consent beforehand. Contravening this rule will result in an immediate ban.
The group bot Rose offers a lot of readymade responses that can be used when replying to someone. The most commonly used ones are:
• #paste - Display a list of sites where code can be shared.
• #markdown - Learn how to use markdown formatting.
• #res - Post the link to the C/C++ resource collection.
• #meta - Tell someone to get to the point!
• #howtoask - Tell someone how they should ask a question.
• #ot - Tell someone that their question is off-topic and hence must be moved to the OT group.
