User questions are best asked on a public community site. The largest such site
is Stack Overflow. There are also smaller active groups of users that ask and
answer questions on IRC, Gitter, and Reddit.
**User questions:** The best way to get help is to post your question to a site
like [StackOverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/numpy), with
thousands of users available to answer. Smaller alternatives include
[IRC](https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=%23numpy),
[Gitter](https://gitter.im/numpy/numpy), and
[Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/Numpy/). We wish we could keep an eye on
these sites, or answer questions directly, but the volume is just a little
overwhelming!

These forums are not moderated by the NumPy team at the moment (we wish we
could, the volume is just a little overwhelming!). We encourage everyone to
engage patiently and respectfully in all these forums, in the spirit of the
[NumPy Code of Conduct](/code-of-conduct).

For reference, we added this because there was concern around the sometimes harsh style with which beginners are sometimes treated on Stack Overflow, see gh-28.

The CoC sentence is out of place because it's directed at people writing answers and the page is for people asking questions.
