Keeping things tidy
</p>
<p>
Every channel on the server has a use, and we expect users to keep things relevant to the channel
whenever possible. Below, we've outlined all of the channels a normal user has access to send
messages to, and what they should be used for.
</p>
<h2>Conversation</h2>
<p>
Channels in this section are designated for discussion and chat, and shouldn't be used for help
requests in most cases.
</p>
<table uk-table class="uk-table-striped uk-table uk-table-divider table-bordered">
<thead>

<th>Info</th>

</td>

projects of ours
</td>

<h2>Python Help</h2>
<p>
Channels in this section are strictly on-topic, and designated for asking general Python-related
questions. If you're a beginner or you need some help with your Python, this is probably where you
want to be.
</p>
<p>
Please try to pick a channel that isn't busy when asking your question. If you're not sure
how best to ask a question, take a look at
<a href="{{ url_for("main.info.help") }}">our guide on that subject</a>.
</p>
<h2>Topical Chat/Help</h2>
<p>
Channels in this section are strictly on-topic, and geared towards specific subjects. They can be
used for either discussion or asking questions - if you need help with one of the specific things
covered here, it's best to ask your question in the relevant channel rather than one of the general
help channels.

<h2>Events</h2>
<p>
Channels in this section are strictly on-topic, and designated for the discussion of Python-related
events - for example, our <a href="{{ url_for("main.jams.index") }}">Code Jams</a>, as well as any
other large, related events that many of our users are partaking in.
</p>
<p>
If you're part of a related event and you don't see a channel for it here, feel free to ask for one!
</p>
<h2>Special</h2>
<p>
Channels in this section are designated for special uses, and don't really fit into the other
categories.

<h2>Minecraft</h2>
<p>
Channels in this section are strictly related to
<a href="{{ url_for("wiki.page", page="minecraft") }}">our Minecraft server</a> - while discussion
is quite laid back, we do not allow users to advertise their own servers and prefer that they
make use of the voice channels here for game-related voice chat.
</p>
<h2>Voice</h2>
<p>
This section contains all of our general voice channels, as well as a single text channel -
<span class="fira-code">#voice-chat</span>. If you're in a voice channel but can't use a
microphone, you should use this channel to reply to other users using text instead of any
of the other channels.
