 ====== Code of Conduct ====== ====== Code of Conduct ======
 +
 +All interactions and contributions — regardless of form, format or forum — must follow our Code of Conduct.
 +
 +We will approach all Code of Conduct violations with the gravity that the specific situation demands. We are serious about our responsibility to provide a friendly and inclusive space for our users, and we'll deal with all violations appropriately.
 +
 +----
 +
 +====== Introduction ======
 +
 +Our Code of Conduct outlines the types of behaviour we expect from members of our community and forms the basis for our other policies. It is important everyone using our services reads over this document and understands the thought process behind it.
 +
 +While this document does go into detail on the types of behaviour we encourage (and that we find unacceptable), it is impossible to list every possible situation in a single document. For that reason, there will be situations involving unacceptable behaviour that we don't explicitly mention in our policies. We'll still action these problematic forms of behaviour, and we'll update our documentation as needed when these situations arise.
 +
 +In general, treat others how you wish to be treated — if you wouldn't appreciate being treated in a particular way, don't treat others that way yourself!
 +
 +When we update this document, we'll announce it on [[https://forum.rephas.ing|our forum]] and [[https://discord.gg/QCjRaubpqF|our Discord server]]. If you have any concerns, questions, or suggestions about our policies, feel free to contact a staff member [[meta:about#contact_us|as explained on the About Us page]].
 +
 +====== Code Text ======
 +
 +===== Our Pledge =====
 +
 +We as members, contributors, and staff members pledge to make participation in our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
 +
 +We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and healthy community, and we're committed to promoting these concepts.
 +
 +===== Our Standards =====
 +
 +We expect the members of our community to participate in a positive, authentic, and active way. Consideration, respect, and empathy are key when it comes to building and supporting a healthy community, and we request and expect that our members exercise this through their actions.
 +
 +Please remember that online communities bring together people from many cultures and backgrounds. It is important to understand that sometimes the combination of cultural differences and online interaction can lead to misunderstandings — that is why having empathy is crucial.
 +
 +Examples of behaviour that contributes to a positive environment for our community include:
 +
 +  * Demonstrating empathy, patience, and kindness toward other people.
 +  * Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
 +  * Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback.
 +  * Accepting responsibility and apologising to those affected by our mistakes, and learning from the experience.
 +  * Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the overall community.
 +
 +Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
 +
 +  * Using sexualised language or imagery, and sexual attention or advances of any kind.
 +  * Trolling, insulting, or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks.
 +  * Threats of violence, or violent acts towards others.
 +  * Public or private harassment.
 +  * Intentionally dead-naming or misgendering others.
 +  * Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email address, without their explicit permission ("doxing").
 +  * Advocating for, or encouraging, any unacceptable forms of behaviour.
 +  * Other conduct, where one could reasonably consider it inappropriate in a professional setting.
 +
 +===== Enforcement Responsibilities =====
 +
 +Staff members are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of acceptable behaviour and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any behaviour that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.
 +
 +If a participant engages in behaviour violating this Code of Conduct, the staff members of this community may take any action they deem appropriate. Actions may range from a simple warning to the most drastic: expulsion from the community, exclusion from any interaction, and loss of all rights in the community.
 +
 +===== Scope =====
 +
 +This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces (both online and offline), and applies when an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces. Examples of representing our community include using an official e-mail address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed representative at an online or offline event.
 +
 +This Code of Conduct applies to all community spaces, projects, and repositories that Rephasing manages, regardless of whether we explicitly state this code applies. We may also enforce the Code of Conduct based on the behaviour exhibited by any individual outside our community spaces, to protect the members of our community.
 +
 +===== Enforcement =====
 +
 +Anyone may report instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behaviour to the Rephasing staff team, [[meta:rules#reporting_violations|as explained in the reporting section on the rules page]]. If your report concerns a specific staff member or group of staff members, please send your report to a staff member who is not part of the report -- and who ideally is a higher rank.
 +
 +We will review and promptly and fairly investigate all complaints, and we require all staff members to respect the privacy and security of anyone submitting a report.
 +
 +===== Attribution =====
 +
 +This Code of Conduct is a heavily modified version of the
 +[[https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/2/0/code_of_conduct.html|Contributor Covenant v2.0]],
 +with inspiration taken from the
