We are committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all community members. Retaliation against individuals who report violations will not be tolerated.
Project maintainers are responsible for enforcing this Code of Conduct and will take appropriate action when violations occur. Actions may include, but are not limited to:
- Warning: A formal warning to the offender, highlighting the inappropriate behavior and outlining consequences for future violations.
- Temporary Ban: The offender may be temporarily removed from the community, including any interactions via project communication channels, repositories, or events.
- Permanent Ban: In cases of repeated or particularly egregious violations, the offender will face a permanent ban from all project spaces, including removal from repositories, mailing lists, and events.
- Public Announcement: In cases where transparency is needed, a public statement may be issued to address the behavior and corrective actions taken.
In case of a ban or any disciplinary action, the banned party may appeal by submitting a written statement to [email protected]. The appeal will be reviewed by the project maintainers, and a final decision will be made based on the merits of the case. Repeated appeals with no new information will not be considered.
This Code of Conduct applies to all project spaces, including but not limited to the GitHub repository, issue trackers, mailing lists, social media channels, and in-person or online events. It also applies when an individual is representing the project in public, such as at conferences or in online forums.
