General rules

Asking for help in DevHub Malaysia on Telegram

Please behave in a polite, considerate, and inclusive manner in the channel at all times. People volunteer their time in the channel to help people like you with your problems and some respect (in both directions) will go an extremely long way.

When asking questions in the DevHub Malaysia channel, please follow these 10 simple rules.

  1. Do your research before hand. Your question may be answerable with a quick Google search or by simply experimenting. If it's a concept you're confused about, first check the official documentation.
  2. If you've tried Googling, explain what terms you've tried to use so people can better help you.
  3. Clearly explain what is happening and create a Paste (http://laravel.io/bin), (http://kopy.io), or (http://gist.github.com) to better explain yourself
  4. Saying that something "doesn't work" is completely useless to the people who are trying to help you. Please show all available information you have that indicates to you that something doesn't work.
  5. Anything more than 2 lines goes in a Paste (http://laravel.io/bin, http://gist.github.com, or http://kopy.io). Spamming the channel with walls of text is not welcome.
  6. Treat people in a considerate manner, as they are volunteering their time to help you. If you're being annoying you may be muted by one of the channel ops.
  7. Do not use excessive punctuation. This includes question marks (?), exclamation marks (!) and ellipsis (...).
  8. Do not beg / plead with people to help you. This includes asking questions like "Any ideas?" after posting your original question.
  9. Do not repeat your question every few minutes expecting somebody to answer it. If you do not get a reply after the first few tries at least 5-10 minutes apart, perhaps posting your question on StackOverflow (http://stackoverflow.com) would help you. Linking to the question in the channel after you've posted it is OK.
  10. Do not PM members of the channel without first asking if that is OK.
