| 1 | +# Contributor Covenant 3.0 Code of Conduct |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +## Our Pledge |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +We pledge to make our community welcoming, safe, and equitable for all. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +We are committed to fostering an environment that respects and promotes the |
| 8 | +dignity, rights, and contributions of all individuals, regardless of |
| 9 | +characteristics including race, ethnicity, caste, color, age, physical |
| 10 | +characteristics, neurodiversity, disability, sex or gender, gender identity or |
| 11 | +expression, sexual orientation, language, philosophy or religion, national or |
| 12 | +social origin, socio-economic position, level of education, or other status. |
| 13 | +The same privileges of participation are extended to everyone who participates |
| 14 | +in good faith and in accordance with this Covenant. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +## Encouraged Behaviors |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +While acknowledging differences in social norms, we all strive to meet our |
| 19 | +community's expectations for positive behavior. We also understand that our |
| 20 | +words and actions may be interpreted differently than we intend based on |
| 21 | +culture, background, or native language. |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +With these considerations in mind, we agree to behave mindfully toward each |
| 24 | +other and act in ways that center our shared values, including: |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +1. Respecting the **purpose of our community**, our activities, and our ways of |
| 27 | + gathering. |
| 28 | +1. Engaging **kindly and honestly** with others. |
| 29 | +1. Respecting **different viewpoints** and experiences. |
| 30 | +1. **Taking responsibility** for our actions and contributions. |
| 31 | +1. Gracefully giving and accepting **constructive feedback**. |
| 32 | +1. Committing to **repairing harm** when it occurs. |
| 33 | +1. Behaving in other ways that promote and sustain the **well-being of our |
| 34 | + community**. |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +## Restricted Behaviors |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +We agree to restrict the following behaviors in our community. Instances, |
| 39 | +threats, and promotion of these behaviors are violations of this Code of |
| 40 | +Conduct. |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +1. **Harassment.** Violating explicitly expressed boundaries or engaging in |
| 43 | + unnecessary personal attention after any clear request to stop. |
| 44 | +1. **Character attacks.** Making insulting, demeaning, or pejorative comments |
| 45 | + directed at a community member or group of people. |
| 46 | +1. **Stereotyping or discrimination.** Characterizing anyone's personality or |
| 47 | + behavior on the basis of immutable identities or traits. |
| 48 | +1. **Sexualization.** Behaving in a way that would generally be considered |
| 49 | + inappropriately intimate in the context or purpose of the community. |
| 50 | +1. **Violating confidentiality.** Sharing or acting on someone's personal or |
| 51 | + private information without their permission. |
| 52 | +1. **Endangerment.** Causing, encouraging, or threatening violence or other |
| 53 | + harm toward any person or group. |
| 54 | +1. Behaving in other ways that **threaten the well-being** of our community. |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +### Other Restrictions |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +1. **Misleading identity.** Impersonating someone else for any reason, or |
| 59 | + pretending to be someone else to evade enforcement actions. |
| 60 | +1. **Failing to credit sources.** Not properly crediting the sources of content |
| 61 | + you contribute. |
| 62 | +1. **Promotional materials.** Sharing marketing or other commercial content in |
| 63 | + a way that is outside the norms of the community. |
| 64 | +1. **Irresponsible communication.** Failing to responsibly present content |
| 65 | + which includes, links or describes any other restricted behaviors. |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +## Reporting an Issue |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +Tensions can occur between community members even when they are trying their |
| 70 | +best to collaborate. Not every conflict represents a code of conduct violation, |
| 71 | +and this Code of Conduct reinforces encouraged behaviors and norms that can |
| 72 | +help avoid conflicts and minimize harm. |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +When an incident does occur, it is important to report it promptly. To report a |
| 75 | +possible violation, email |
| 76 | +[psmodule@psmodule.io](mailto:psmodule@psmodule.io). |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +Community Moderators take reports of violations seriously and will make every |
| 79 | +effort to respond in a timely manner. They will investigate all reports of code |
| 80 | +of conduct violations, reviewing messages, logs, and recordings, or |
| 81 | +interviewing witnesses and other participants. Community Moderators will keep |
| 82 | +investigation and enforcement actions as transparent as possible while |
| 83 | +prioritizing safety and confidentiality. In order to honor these values, |
| 84 | +enforcement actions are carried out in private with the involved parties, but |
| 85 | +communicating to the whole community may be part of a mutually agreed upon |
| 86 | +resolution. |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +## Addressing and Repairing Harm |
| 89 | + |
| 90 | +If an investigation by the Community Moderators finds that this Code of Conduct |
| 91 | +has been violated, the following enforcement ladder may be used to determine |
| 92 | +how best to repair harm, based on the incident's impact on the individuals |
| 93 | +involved and the community as a whole. Depending on the severity of a |
| 94 | +violation, lower rungs on the ladder may be skipped. |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +1. Warning |
| 97 | + 1. Event: A violation involving a single incident or series of incidents. |
| 98 | + 1. Consequence: A private, written warning from the Community Moderators. |
| 99 | + 1. Repair: Examples of repair include a private written apology, |
| 100 | + acknowledgement of responsibility, and seeking clarification on |
| 101 | + expectations. |
| 102 | +1. Temporarily Limited Activities |
| 103 | + 1. Event: A repeated incidence of a violation that previously resulted in a |
| 104 | + warning, or the first incidence of a more serious violation. |
| 105 | + 1. Consequence: A private, written warning with a time-limited cooldown period |
| 106 | + designed to underscore the seriousness of the situation and give the |
| 107 | + community members involved time to process the incident. The cooldown |
| 108 | + period may be limited to particular communication channels or interactions |
| 109 | + with particular community members. |
| 110 | + 1. Repair: Examples of repair may include making an apology, using the |
| 111 | + cooldown period to reflect on actions and impact, and being thoughtful |
| 112 | + about re-entering community spaces after the period is over. |
| 113 | +1. Temporary Suspension |
| 114 | + 1. Event: A pattern of repeated violation which the Community Moderators |
| 115 | + have tried to address with warnings, or a single serious violation. |
| 116 | + 1. Consequence: A private written warning with conditions for return from |
| 117 | + suspension. In general, temporary suspensions give the person being |
| 118 | + suspended time to reflect upon their behavior and possible corrective |
| 119 | + actions. |
| 120 | + 1. Repair: Examples of repair include respecting the spirit of the |
| 121 | + suspension, meeting the specified conditions for return, and being |
| 122 | + thoughtful about how to reintegrate with community spaces after the |
| 123 | + period is over. |
| 124 | +1. Permanent Ban |
| 125 | + 1. Event: A pattern of repeated code of conduct violations that other steps |
| 126 | + on the ladder have failed to resolve, or a violation so serious that the |
| 127 | + Community Moderators determine there is no way to keep the community safe |
| 128 | + with this person as a member. |
| 129 | + 1. Consequence: Access to all community spaces, tools, and communication |
| 130 | + channels is removed. In general, permanent bans should be rarely used, |
| 131 | + should have strong reasoning behind them, and should only be resorted to |
| 132 | + if working through other remedies has failed to change the behavior. |
| 133 | + 1. Repair: There is no possible repair in cases of this severity. |
| 134 | + |
| 135 | +This enforcement ladder is intended as a guideline. It does not limit the |
| 136 | +ability of Community Managers to use their discretion and judgment, in keeping |
| 137 | +with the best interests of our community. |
| 138 | + |
| 139 | +## Scope |
| 140 | + |
| 141 | +This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when |
| 142 | +an individual is officially representing the community in public or other |
| 143 | +spaces. Examples of representing our community include using an official email |
| 144 | +address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an |
| 145 | +appointed representative at an online or offline event. |
