Code of Conduct

This document outlines rules which will be enforced in the name of keeping the communication surrounding this project pleasant, productive and inclusive. Please report when you believe someone failed to abide by these rules or when you - for whatever reason - feel unsafe or uncomfortable participating in this project or its communication channels. You are also encouraged to report issues on behalf of others. Provide logs / screenshots of the reported event, if possible. Depending on the magnitude of the offense, a single warning will be issued or immediate action taken.

1. Communicate with apt maturity. Stay polite, especially in disagreements. Refrain from trolling and excessive "meme"-ing or attempting humour that could be considered offensive or "edgy". Communicate without name-calling, profanities, insults and slurs.
2. Respect peoples identity. This applies especially to chosen parts of peoples self-image. Being unable to understand or even accept someones identity does not entitle you to a lenient interpretation of this rule nor are you owed an explanation.
3. Do not be hostile in any way or form towards any group of people based on their identity or factors out of their control. This includes all variations of sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, ageism, ableism, antisemitism, etc..
4. To create an atmosphere of tolerance and safety, hateful ideologies and their followers are explicitly not tolerated. If you want to be tolerated, be tolerant yourself first.
5. Do not make unsolicited romantic or sexual advances. This is neither a suitable nor an appropriate place to find a mate. Please note that even if you have good and pure intentions, any such attempt is likely to cause discomfort to the recipient.
6. You are not entitled to anyones time. Act accordingly. Please try to read the documentation before asking for help. Accept that feature requests may be rejected and that fixing reported issues may take a while. Accept that a discussion is only worthwhile if everyone involved is interested in continuing it.
7. Please be mindful and respectful should you plan on voicing opinions on a topic that attracts people of oddly strong negative opinions. The quantity and severity of your complaints should be related to how much the issue affects you and to how involved you are in solving it. Strong opinions need to be backed by even stronger arguments.
8. Do not "trauma-dump" or "vent". Sharing severe issues you are facing can be harmful to the recipients and as such requires explicit consent. It can also be harmful to yourself. Either way, this channel is not an appropriate place for mental health support. Please seek the help of a professional.
9. These rules are not up for debate. This document is written with the goal to provide an outline for healthy, inclusive and safe communication. Any attempt at challenging these rules will be interpreted as challenging this very goal.
10. Do not make me expand this list. Seriously. If you believe you are clever enough to sneak around these rules, you are wrong. What counts is the spirit of this document, not the exact written word.
