BONA FIDE CODE OF CONDUCT
+ +Version 2.1.0 ++This community encourages contributions from anyone, regardless of any demographic characteristic and political views. We ask all contributors to make a conscious effort to communicate in ways that avoid practices that will predictably and unnecessarily risk putting some contributors off. +
+Guidelines +
+
-
+
- Please assume all other participants are posting in good faith with the implicit purpose to help our community;
- Call other participants by the names they use, and honor their preferences about their gender identity;
- Don't make personal attacks against other participants. If you need to be critical, please underline that you are criticizing a statement, not a person;
- Let's not raise politics other than software and web freedoms, and basic human rights;
- Please abstain from contributing to vicious circles of escalating verbal aggression. A private response - politely stating your feelings as feelings and asking for peace - may calm things down;
- Please be kind to other contributors when saying they made a mistake, as nobody is infallible;
- Please respond only to what people actually said with objectivity and self-control;
- Brief off-topic is acceptable, but please try to keep the overall discussion on-topic;
- Rather than trying to have the last word, look for the times when there is no need to reply because your comment won’t add any new useful information;
- Internet is not be the best way to transmit emotions, so please don't hold a grudge against your peers. +

+By making an effort to follow these guidelines, our discussions will be friendlier and reach conclusions more easily. The consequences for repeatedly violating these guidelines will be: +
+1. A friendly warning;
+2. Temporary loss of the write access to our services (mute);
+3. Temporary loss of both read and write access to our services (ban). +
+We don’t like applying penalties and we believe people can change over time and then return to participate again with renewed politeness. +
+Inspired by Richard Stallman's GNU Kind Communications Guidelines. +
