## Our Pledge
|
|
4 |
|
|
5 |
In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as
|
|
6 |
contributors and leaders pledge to making participation in our project and
|
|
7 |
our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
|
|
8 |
size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level or type of
|
|
9 |
experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance,
|
|
10 |
race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
|
|
11 |
|
|
12 |
## Our Standards
|
|
13 |
|
|
14 |
We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for
|
|
15 |
all.
|
|
16 |
|
|
17 |
Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment
|
|
18 |
include:
|
|
19 |
|
|
20 |
* Be kind and courteous to others
|
|
21 |
* Using welcoming and inclusive language
|
|
22 |
* Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
|
|
23 |
* Collaborating with other community members
|
|
24 |
* Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
|
|
25 |
* Focusing on what is best for the community
|
|
26 |
* Showing empathy towards other community members
|
|
27 |
|
|
28 |
Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
|
|
29 |
|
|
30 |
* The use of sexualized language or imagery and sexual attention or advances
|
|
31 |
* The use of inappropriate images, including in a community member's avatar
|
|
32 |
* The use of inappropriate language, including in a community member's nickname
|
|
33 |
* Any spamming, flaming, baiting or other attention-stealing behavior
|
|
34 |
* Excessive or unwelcome helping; answering outside the scope of the question
|
|
35 |
asked
|
|
36 |
* Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
|
|
37 |
* Public or private harassment
|
|
38 |
* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic
|
|
39 |
address, without explicit permission
|
|
40 |
* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate
|
|
41 |
|
|
42 |
The goal of the standards and moderation guidelines outlined here is to build
|
|
43 |
and maintain a respectful community. We ask that you don’t just aim to be
|
|
44 |
"technically unimpeachable", but rather try to be your best self.
|
|
45 |
|
|
46 |
We value many things beyond technical expertise, including collaboration and
|
|
47 |
supporting others within our community. Providing a positive experience for
|
|
48 |
other community members can have a much more significant impact than simply
|
|
49 |
providing the correct answer.
|
|
50 |
|
|
51 |
## Our Responsibilities
|
|
52 |
|
|
53 |
Project leaders are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable
|
|
54 |
behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in
|
|
55 |
response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
|
|
56 |
|
|
57 |
Project leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or
|
|
58 |
reject messages, comments, commits, code, issues, and other contributions
|
|
59 |
that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or
|
|
60 |
permanently any community member for other behaviors that they deem
|
|
61 |
inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.
|
|
62 |
|
|
63 |
## Moderation
|
|
64 |
|
|
65 |
Instances of behaviors that violate the Adafruit Community Code of Conduct
|
|
66 |
may be reported by any member of the community. Community members are
|
|
67 |
encouraged to report these situations, including situations they witness
|
|
68 |
involving other community members.
|
|
69 |
|
|
70 |
You may report in the following ways:
|
|
71 |
|
|
72 |
In any situation, you may send an email to <support@adafruit.com>.
|
|
73 |
|
|
74 |
On the Adafruit Discord, you may send an open message from any channel
|
|
75 |
to all Community Helpers by tagging @community helpers. You may also send an
|
|
76 |
open message from any channel, or a direct message to @kattni#1507,
|
|
77 |
@tannewt#4653, @Dan Halbert#1614, @cater#2442, @sommersoft#0222, or
|
|
78 |
@Andon#8175.
|
|
79 |
|
|
80 |
Email and direct message reports will be kept confidential.
|
|
81 |
|
|
82 |
In situations on Discord where the issue is particularly egregious, possibly
|
|
83 |
illegal, requires immediate action, or violates the Discord terms of service,
|
|
84 |
you should also report the message directly to Discord.
|
|
85 |
|
|
86 |
These are the steps for upholding our community’s standards of conduct.
|
|
87 |
|
|
88 |
1. Any member of the community may report any situation that violates the
|
|
89 |
Adafruit Community Code of Conduct. All reports will be reviewed and
|
|
90 |
investigated.
|
|
91 |
2. If the behavior is an egregious violation, the community member who
|
|
92 |
committed the violation may be banned immediately, without warning.
|
|
93 |
3. Otherwise, moderators will first respond to such behavior with a warning.
|
|
94 |
4. Moderators follow a soft "three strikes" policy - the community member may
|
|
95 |
be given another chance, if they are receptive to the warning and change their
|
|
96 |
behavior.
|
|
97 |
5. If the community member is unreceptive or unreasonable when warned by a
|
|
98 |
moderator, or the warning goes unheeded, they may be banned for a first or
|
|
99 |
second offense. Repeated offenses will result in the community member being
|
|
100 |
banned.
|
|
101 |
|
|
102 |
## Scope
|
|
103 |
|
|
104 |
This Code of Conduct and the enforcement policies listed above apply to all
|
|
105 |
Adafruit Community venues. This includes but is not limited to any community
|
|
106 |
spaces (both public and private), the entire Adafruit Discord server, and
|
|
107 |
Adafruit GitHub repositories. Examples of Adafruit Community spaces include
|
|
108 |
but are not limited to meet-ups, audio chats on the Adafruit Discord, or
|
|
109 |
interaction at a conference.
|
|
110 |
|
|
111 |
This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces
|
|
112 |
when an individual is representing the project or its community. As a community
|
|
113 |
member, you are representing our community, and are expected to behave
|
|
114 |
accordingly.
