# Guidelines

Here are some guidelines for participating in the India Investments Discord server.

These are not hard and fast rules but simply guidance on how to use this Discord server effectively. The rooms are separated into categories like _WELCOME_, _GENERAL_, etc. Please read the channel descriptions of each channel

- The #general-talk is considered the "main" chat room that most users gravitate to. 

- Beginners starting out on any area related to investing (or personal finance) can ask their queries in #ask-us-any-question.

- Those wanting to share insightful articles, books etc. that serve as reference material for other investors can do so in #education-resources .

- The other channels like #check-my-portfolio, #personal-finance, #fundamental-analysis, #economics etc. are places you can go to discuss those specific topics.  

    These are generally dedicated channels that can converse on those topics without as much _noise_ as the general chat. 

     One way to use these is to simply post in there and wait for someone to find it, or, you can go to the #general-talk  channel and ask if anyone wants to join you in a specific channel.

- Use #ipo only to discuss IPO allotments and get help with other queries related to upcoming IPOs. 

   No speculating on potential _listing gains_. No queries like _should I apply for this IPO?_

    If you've an investment thesis about why you'd want to invest, or not invest, in an upcoming IPO, you can post in #ipo.

- Use #off-topic for non-investment discussions. However, server-wide rules still apply.

- Is there something you are looking for that you think would be nice to be able to find here?  Go to #feedbacks-suggestions channel and post it there. 

Suggestions to improve are always welcome!
