Group Rules
English Cologne group
Who is the group for?
The English Cologne Telegram group is for people who have English as a first or second language and live in Cologne, Germany.
The group language is English: messages to the group should be in English.
No spam:
No commercial or overtly self promotional activity.
For example .....
🚫 Bitcoin.
🚫 Drug dealing.
🚫 Escorts.
Profiles with lewd images are also subject to removal.
🚫 No fake or fan accounts.
🚫 SPAM
Spam is removed and reported. It is not worth you time. Do not spam.
Introduction posts:
You don't need to introduce yourself after joining. But its a good idea, so if you do please write more than just "Hi". Write where are originally from, what are you hoping to use the group for, some background on you etc. Write something similar to what you would find interesting as an introduction from others!
Be nice - Or be banned.
Group members are people. Treat them with the same respect that you would face-to-face. We are a mixed international bunch; there is zero tolerance of racism, harassment or hate.
If a group member is harassing you in private messages please send details to one of the group moderators; moderators are labelled in the members list, and that person will be removed and ban the harassing user from the group. You should also report harassment directly to Telegram.
Meet Ups:
Our Telegram group is where you can organise English Cologne meet-ups.
If you fancy being spontaneous you can share your location with others in the group, but only share when in Cologne. Sharing your location outside of Cologne, where it would have no value to other group members would be spammy and could result in a ban.
No bots:
Please do not invite bots.
Be real:
Fake looking profiles; young, attractive with a chest fighting to escape from skimpy clothing will have their group permissions reduced. Be real. Like you will be when we all meet up.
Be relevant:
The group is for people speaking English based in Cologne, Germany. Discussions / posts should be relevant for that group of people.
Use REPLY:
If you want to respond something in the group please use the "reply" feature. That means the person you are replying top will get a notification and others can see the full context.
Group conversations may occasionally be embedded on the English Cologne website. Read how our channel and group work together.
These rules apply specifically to the English Cologne Group.
Do: Invite your (local English speaking) friends!
Our Private Group:
If you would like to connect with Cologne's English community but do not want to engage in a public group we do have a private group: details here.
Please play nice.
If you have questions feel free to mention @RobertWallis when you ask. Thanks!
