How to Get Help
- Before asking: Try to find the solution yourself. (
CTRL + F in this server can answer a lot of questions)
- Skip "I need help", "Help please", "Can I ask a thing", "I have an error" - Yes you can! Getting help is what this server is for!
- Not a discord.js question? Post in #1081585952654360687. (using code in a bot does not mean it is a question about using discord.js!)
- Consider using #986520997006032896 for questions you think won't be quick to solve.
- You can use #djs-help-v14 for questions you expect can be quickly solved.
- For voice (sending/receiving sound), please use #998942774994927646.
How to Ask a (Good) Question
- Show your code.
- Show your errors.
- Explain what happens and what you want to happen instead.
- Text is usually better than screenshots. Use code blocks starting with ```js or ```ts.
Help Us to Help You
- Run your code before asking if it can work. (errors are often very useful in pin-pointing the issue! )
- Imagine you are the one trying to help. Ask the question in a way that you would want to read!
- Post your full error and relevant code. (catch promise rejections, provide the context you are working in)
- If you use custom functions in your snippet, show them to us! (we only know how the library works, not what the rest of your code looks like)
- Actively participate in the "solution-finding" process. (don't expect people to fix the code for you)
- Explain what you tried to do to fix the problem.
- Read the responses you are given.
- Research key words you do not understand before asking what they mean. (come back and ask, if you cannot find them)
No Answer?
- Do not mention uninvolved people to get a response.
- Consider posting in #986520997006032896.
- Try to rephrase your question.
- Try to give more context / improve your description.
- Try to find a solution yourself while waiting.
