C++ Slack

</h2>

<p class='text-xxs slack-paragraph'> This is a multi-channel Slack workspace environment which gathers users of C++ from around the world into the same place so we can all learn from each other. It is like IRC but with modern clients that support multimedia, notifications, and smart devices.</p>

<p class='text-xxs slack-paragraph'>Choose one of the following to get started:</p>

FAQ

</h2>

<ul>

<li class='slack-list-item'>

<h4 class='text-m'>Why do you need my e-mail?</h4>

<p class='text-xxs'>Slack is invite based. Your e-mail address is used to register you in the workspace. The invitation tool does not store your address.

</p>

</li>

<li class='slack-list-item'>

<h4 class='text-m'>Who operates this Slack workspace?</h4>

<p class='text-xxs'>This workspace is paid for and operated in the public interest by The C++ Alliance in accordance with the mission to promote the general welfare of the C++ programming language.</p>

</li>

<li class='slack-list-item'>

<h4 class='text-m'>What are the rules?</h4>

<p class='text-xxs'>Please remain professional in public channels. People from differing cultures and locales all meet here to discuss C++ topics. We ask that you follow the Acceptable Use Policy.</p>

</li>

<li class='slack-list-item'>

<h4 class='text-m'>How are the rules enforced?</h4>

<p class='text-xxs'>Due to the sheer size of the community, it is not practical for admins to police every channel all the time. When you see a user acting poorly, consider letting them know in a nice way. Give a benefit of the doubt generously, as spirited debate is sometimes mistaken for bad behavior.</p>

<p class='text-xxs'>If diplomacy fails and disruptions persist, mentioning <strong>@mods</strong> in the channel will get the attention of the moderators. Or, you can contact an admin(<a href="https://cpplang.slack.com/account/workspace-settings#admins">list</a>)privately and explain the nature of the problem.</p>
