26 | +# Conduct | ||
27 | + | ||
28 | +We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for | ||
29 | +all, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, religion, | ||
30 | +or similar personal characteristic. | ||
31 | + | ||
32 | +Please avoid using overtly sexual nicknames or other nicknames that | ||
33 | +might detract from a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all. | ||
34 | + | ||
35 | +Please be kind and courteous. There's no need to be mean or rude. | ||
36 | +Respect that people have differences of opinion and that every design or | ||
37 | +implementation choice carries a trade-off and numerous costs. There is seldom | ||
38 | +a right answer, merely an optimal answer given a set of values and | ||
39 | +circumstances. | ||
40 | + | ||
41 | +Please keep unstructured critique to a minimum. If you have solid ideas you | ||
42 | +want to experiment with, make a fork and see how it works. | ||
43 | + | ||
44 | +We will exclude you from interaction if you insult, demean or harass anyone. | ||
45 | +That is not welcome behaviour. We interpret the term "harassment" as | ||
46 | +including the definition in the | ||
47 | +[Citizen Code of Conduct](http://citizencodeofconduct.org/); | ||
48 | +if you have any lack of clarity about what might be included in that concept, | ||
49 | +please read their definition. In particular, we don't tolerate behavior that | ||
50 | +excludes people in socially marginalized groups. | ||
51 | + | ||
52 | +Private harassment is also unacceptable. No matter who you are, if you feel | ||
53 | +you have been or are being harassed or made uncomfortable by a community | ||
54 | +member, please contact one of the channel ops or any of the | ||
55 | +[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/jden/CONTRIBUTING.md) core team | ||
56 | +immediately. Whether you're a regular contributor or a newcomer, we care about | ||
57 | +making this community a safe place for you and we've got your back. | ||
58 | + | ||
59 | +Likewise any spamming, trolling, flaming, baiting or other attention-stealing | ||
60 | +behaviour is not welcome. | ||
61 | + | ||
62 | +# Communication | ||
63 | + | ||
64 | +In both contexts, please follow the conduct guidelines above. Language issues | ||
65 | +are often contentious and we'd like to keep discussion brief, civil and focused | ||
66 | +on what we're actually doing, not wandering off into too much imaginary stuff. | ||
