Code of Conduct

Be Kind

• Don’t be mean.
• Insulting anyone is prohibited.
• Harassment of any kind is prohibited.
• If another person feels uncomfortable with your remarks, stop it.
• If a moderator deems your comment or conduct as inappropriate, stop it.
• Disagreeing is fine, but keep it to technical arguments. Never attack the person.
• Give the benefit of the doubt. Assume good intentions.
• Show empathy. There are 3 interpretations to any message: what we thought, what we said, and what they understand.
• This does mean we exclude people who are not kind. We are happy to make that sacrifice.

Or Else

• Violations of the Code of Conduct will result in 1 warning.
• If the violation is major, a moderator may just ban immediately.
• If a warning has already been given, a moderator will ban the offender.
• There is no process for appealing a ban.
• Any violations can be reported to [email protected].
