# Contributor Covenant 3.0 Code of Conduct

## Our Pledge

We pledge to make our community welcoming, safe, and equitable for all.

We are committed to fostering an environment that respects and promotes the dignity,
rights, and contributions of all individuals, regardless of characteristics including
race, ethnicity, caste, color, age, physical characteristics, neurodiversity,
disability, sex or gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, language,
philosophy or religion, national or social origin, socio-economic position, level of
education, or other status. The same privileges of participation are extended to
everyone who participates in good faith and in accordance with this Covenant.

## Encouraged Behaviors

While acknowledging differences in social norms, we all strive to meet our community's
expectations for positive behavior. We also understand that our words and actions may be
interpreted differently than we intend based on culture, background, or native language.

With these considerations in mind, we agree to behave mindfully toward each other and
act in ways that center our shared values, including:

1. Respecting the **purpose of our community**, our activities, and our ways of
   gathering.
1. Engaging **kindly and honestly** with others.
1. Respecting **different viewpoints** and experiences.
1. **Taking responsibility** for our actions and contributions.
1. Gracefully giving and accepting **constructive feedback**.
1. Committing to **repairing harm** when it occurs.
1. Behaving in other ways that promote and sustain the **well-being of our community**.

## Restricted Behaviors

We agree to restrict the following behaviors in our community. Instances, threats, and
promotion of these behaviors are violations of this Code of Conduct.

1. **Harassment.** Violating explicitly expressed boundaries or engaging in unnecessary
   personal attention after any clear request to stop.
1. **Character attacks.** Making insulting, demeaning, or pejorative comments directed
   at a community member or group of people.
1. **Stereotyping or discrimination.** Characterizing anyone’s personality or behavior
   on the basis of immutable identities or traits.
1. **Sexualization.** Behaving in a way that would generally be considered
   inappropriately intimate in the context or purpose of the community.
1. **Violating confidentiality**. Sharing or acting on someone's personal or private
   information without their permission.
1. **Endangerment.** Causing, encouraging, or threatening violence or other harm toward
   any person or group.
1. Behaving in other ways that **threaten the well-being** of our community.

### Other Restrictions

1. **Misleading identity.** Impersonating someone else for any reason, or pretending to
   be someone else to evade enforcement actions.
1. **Failing to credit sources.** Not properly crediting the sources of content you
   contribute.
1. **Promotional materials**. Sharing marketing or other commercial content in a way
   that is outside the norms of the community.
1. **Irresponsible communication.** Failing to responsibly present content which
   includes, links or describes any other restricted behaviors.

## Reporting an Issue

Tensions can occur between community members even when they are trying their best to
collaborate. Not every conflict represents a code of conduct violation, and this Code of
Conduct reinforces encouraged behaviors and norms that can help avoid conflicts and
minimize harm.

When an incident does occur, it is important to report it promptly. To report a possible
violation, **send an email to the project maintainer fuwth17@gmail.com**.

Community Moderators take reports of violations seriously and will make every effort to
respond in a timely manner. They will investigate all reports of code of conduct
violations, reviewing messages, logs, and recordings, or interviewing witnesses and
other participants. Community Moderators will keep investigation and enforcement actions
as transparent as possible while prioritizing safety and confidentiality. In order to
honor these values, enforcement actions are carried out in private with the involved
parties, but communicating to the whole community may be part of a mutually agreed upon
resolution.

## Addressing and Repairing Harm

If an investigation by the Community Moderators finds that this Code of Conduct has been
violated, the following enforcement ladder may be used to determine how best to repair
harm, based on the incident's impact on the individuals involved and the community as a
whole. Depending on the severity of a violation, lower rungs on the ladder may be
skipped.

1. Warning
   1. Event: A violation involving a single incident or series of incidents.
   1. Consequence: A private, written warning from the Community Moderators.
   1. Repair: Examples of repair include a private written apology, acknowledgement of
      responsibility, and seeking clarification on expectations.
1. Temporarily Limited Activities
   1. Event: A repeated incidence of a violation that previously resulted in a warning,
      or the first incidence of a more serious violation.
   1. Consequence: A private, written warning with a time-limited cooldown period
      designed to underscore the seriousness of the situation and give the community
      members involved time to process the incident. The cooldown period may be limited
      to particular communication channels or interactions with particular community
      members.
   1. Repair: Examples of repair may include making an apology, using the cooldown
      period to reflect on actions and impact, and being thoughtful about re-entering
      community spaces after the period is over.
1. Temporary Suspension
   1. Event: A pattern of repeated violation which the Community Moderators have tried
      to address with warnings, or a single serious violation.
   1. Consequence: A private written warning with conditions for return from suspension.
      In general, temporary suspensions give the person being suspended time to reflect
      upon their behavior and possible corrective actions.
   1. Repair: Examples of repair include respecting the spirit of the suspension,
      meeting the specified conditions for return, and being thoughtful about how to
      reintegrate with the community when the suspension is lifted.
1. Permanent Ban
   1. Event: A pattern of repeated code of conduct violations that other steps on the
      ladder have failed to resolve, or a violation so serious that the Community
      Moderators determine there is no way to keep the community safe with this person
      as a member.
   1. Consequence: Access to all community spaces, tools, and communication channels is
      removed. In general, permanent bans should be rarely used, should have strong
      reasoning behind them, and should only be resorted to if working through other
      remedies has failed to change the behavior.
   1. Repair: There is no possible repair in cases of this severity.

This enforcement ladder is intended as a guideline. It does not limit the ability of
Community Managers to use their discretion and judgment, in keeping with the best
interests of our community.

## Scope

This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when an
individual is officially representing the community in public or other spaces. Examples
of representing our community include using an official email address, posting via an
official social media account, or acting as an appointed representative at an online or
offline event.
