Per an announcement we made some time ago, we've added a new rule saying that ChatGPT and similar tools are not to be used to produce whole answers in our server.

After much discussion, we've decided to retire #1051603408597024828. Our vision for the channel was to be a place where people could share insightful tips and lesser-known features, but unfortunately, most of the posts did not meet the level of quality or topic-relevance that we had envisioned. We have specifically decided not to implement any quality controls for the channel, as we don't feel this is worth the added overhead.
Thank you to those who submitted quality posts to the channel. We hope that you will continue to share your knowledge in other channels.

We'll roll out more information soon on how you can report users in the near future. We've updated our privacy policy to explain how this service will operate and what data it will keep hold of. Any questions on this can go in #community-meta.
https://pythondiscord.com/pages/privacy/#voice ~~
We are rolling back this change since we want to approach voice moderation from a different angle.

New verification system rolled out
We're currently rolling out a new verification system for people joining the server. It's not that different from the old system, in terms of user experience, but should hopefully help increase the number of people who verify after joining the server.

Topical Channel Changes
We've renamed two topical channels to see whether or not it helps with communicating the topics of those channels. The channel formerly known as prince #computer-science is now called #algos-and-data-structs (short for algorithms-and-data-structures, which is a bit too long) and #software-testing is now known as #unit-testing.

Rewritten rule 5
We have reworded rule 5 to better align with our views on graded work and assignments.
Before:
Do not provide or request help on projects that may break laws, breach terms of services, be considered malicious/inappropriate or be for graded coursework/exams.
After:
Do not provide or request help on projects that may break laws, breach terms of services, be considered malicious or inappropriate. Do not help with ongoing exams. Do not provide or request solutions for graded assignments, although general guidance is okay.

Contributor Voice Channel
We've added a new voice channel! This is for the use of our Contributors, who are the people that work on our repositories and keep all the gears turning.
This voice channel will be used for working out problems or discussing Pull Requests or Issues for our repositories on GitHub. If you are interested in becoming a Contributor, make sure to take a look at the pins in the #dev-contrib channel!

Second Code/Help channel
To attempt to allow multiple help discussions to occur in voice at once without going into the off topic channel we've created a new code/help voice channel.

Voice gating
We've implemented our new system to try gate abuse of the voice system. Users who want to be able to speak in our voice channels now must meet all the following criteria:
โ Over 50 messages
โ Accepted the rules over 3 days ago
โ No active voice ban
To check your eligibility, head to #voice-verification and run !voiceverify.
Note: You are still able to join channels even without being verified, it is only the speaking permission that is affected by the gate.

Update: We've made some minor changes to the voice gate qualifications, you must now have 50 non-deleted messages.
Another note, the message counts are all taken from after August 25th, the date at which our new statistics system rolled out.

Site analytics
To see more how users are making use of the site we've rolled out Google Analytics on some of our sites. This is to see where we should be focusing our efforts with things like our resources, events and contribution pages.
We've taken steps to ensure user privacy while using this and make use of IP address anonymisation to ensure no PII is stored by the system.

Restriction of permissions in #python-discussion

We've reorganised some channels!
We've made some slight changes to the channel organisation in order to better protect channels like #internals-and-peps from off-topic spillover. #python-discussion has been moved into a category called Lobby, right at the very top, along with #โ๏ฝhow-to-get-help. We've also renamed #meta to #community-meta.
When you first join this community, the two channels we want you to discover first are #python-discussion and #โ๏ฝhow-to-get-help, because these channels act as gateways to the rest of the community. We think this reorganisation will help direct traffic towards this end.
As always, come let us know in #community-meta if you have any opinions about this change.

I've now also updated the screenshot in #โ๏ฝhow-to-get-help to reflect the new structure and applied the suggestion made by @frank gate to ensure the formatting of the message works for compact mode as well.

Eval improvements
This feature has been out for a while now, but for those who missed, if you use a code block you can now add text before and after it, and the bot will only evaluate the code block. You can also use multiple code blocks in the same message and they will be joined together. You can check out my example here: #bot-commands message

Following feedback we got about #career-advice and our own observations of activity in the channel, we have decided we want to see the channel being used differently. We posted and pinned the following message in the channel:
When it comes to topics as consequential as careers, bad advice can be very damaging and is often worse than no advice at all. Our moderator team can't confirm the quality of advice given in this channel, but we can ask that everyone who gives advice here explain what experiences they have that inform it. That can include their location, education, and jobs they've worked.
Well-qualified advice might look like this: "As someone who conducts interviews at a web services company in the US, I look for x in a resume", or "I'm a CS student in Singapore, and I got an internship after doing y".
In order to encourage more thoughtful, qualified, and on-topic dialogue, we've set a relatively high slowmode timer for this channel.

Privacy policy changes โ Metricity
We're removing the opt-out functionality from Metricity meaning that while members are in the server message counts per channel per user will be stored.
Metricity data is now used in several areas of the community, including things like voice gate, our recruitment pipelines and measuring the usage of different channels in the community, hence we now are considering that data essential to the operation of the community.
Metricity message data never stores message contents, nor will it ever, as the privacy policy outlines the only data stored on messages is the Author ID, Channel ID, Message ID, Creation time and a flag to mark the message as deleted/non-deleted.
The removal of opt-out functionality and the opt-out/opt-in commands will go into effect next Sunday (April 18th) at 12 UTC
You can read the amended privacy policy at https://pydis.com/privacy.

Dewikification update
I'm happy to announce that we've just merged ~300 commits into Python Discord site to remove the database backed wiki system we previously used for content management and have moved to a system backed by markdown & YAML files in our Git repository.
Thank you to all contributors who opened PRs and left reviews . We have more issues open at https://pydis.com/dewikification-tasks which anyone is free to claim, just let us know! Take a look at the announcement in #dev-announcements to help find content.
Feedback on site content can now be raised as GitHub issues and you can contribute changes through Pull Requests. Contributed changes need 2 approvals from any Python Discord staff members before they can be merged.
This is one of the largest changes we've made to site, so if you do notice any odd behaviour please report it through #dev-contrib or the GitHub Issue tracker.

Help Cooldown System Update
The Help Cooldown role is now removed only when ones help channel closes, meaning that each community member can only claim one help channel at a time.
Previously, we allowed members to claim an additional channel after 15 minutes in case another member "stole" their help channel. If this ever happens, politely refer them to #โ๏ฝhow-to-get-help so they can claim their own channel. If this doesn't work, you can contact the <@&831776746206265384>, or !close your channel and try again.

No more ghost pings for !pypi, nor !docs
If a member was to run either of the two above commands with invalid input, and ping someone while doing so, the bot would delete the invalid input.

The bot no longer deletes invalid invocations of these two commands if the message contains a ping.
