Contributor Covenant 3.0 Code of Conduct
========================================

OUR PLEDGE
----------

We pledge to make our community welcoming, safe, and equitable for all.

We are committed to fostering an environment that respects and promotes the
dignity, rights, and contributions of all individuals, regardless of
characteristics including race, ethnicity, caste, color, age, physical
characteristics, neurodiversity, disability, sex or gender, gender identity or
expression, sexual orientation, language, philosophy or religion, national or
social origin, socio-economic position, level of education, or other status.
The same privileges of participation are extended to everyone who participates
in good faith and in accordance with this Covenant.

ENCOURAGED BEHAVIORS
--------------------

While acknowledging differences in social norms, we all strive to meet our
community’s expectations for positive behavior. We also understand that our
words and actions may be interpreted differently than we intend based on
culture, background, or native language.

With these considerations in mind, we agree to behave mindfully toward each
other and act in ways that center our shared values, including:

* Respecting the purpose of our community, our activities, and our ways of gathering.
* Engaging kindly and honestly with others.
* Respecting different viewpoints and experiences.
* Taking responsibility for our actions and contributions.
* Gracefully giving and accepting constructive feedback.
* Committing to repairing harm when it occurs.
* Behaving in other ways that promote and sustain the well-being of our community.

RESTRICTED BEHAVIORS
--------------------

We agree to restrict the following behaviors in our community. Instances,
threats, and promotion of these behaviors are violations of this Code of
Conduct.

* Harassment. Violating explicitly expressed boundaries or engaging in
  unnecessary personal attention after any clear request to stop.
* Character attacks. Making insulting, demeaning, or pejorative comments
  directed at a community member or group of people.
* Stereotyping or discrimination. Characterizing anyone’s personality or
  behavior on the basis of immutable identities or traits.
* Sexualization. Behaving in a way that would generally be considered
  inappropriately intimate in the context or purpose of the community.
* Violating confidentiality. Sharing or acting on someone’s personal or private
  information without their permission.
* Endangerment. Causing, encouraging, or threatening violence or other harm
  toward any person or group.
* Behaving in other ways that threaten the well-being of our community.

OTHER RESTRICTIONS
------------------

* Misleading identity. Impersonating someone else for any reason, or pretending
  to be someone else to evade enforcement actions.
* Failing to credit sources. Not properly crediting the sources of content you
  contribute.
* Promotional materials. Sharing marketing or other commercial content in a way
  that is outside the norms of the community.
* Irresponsible communication. Failing to responsibly present content which
  includes, links or describes any other restricted behaviors.

REPORTING AN ISSUE
------------------

Tensions can occur between community members even when they are trying their
best to collaborate. Not every conflict represents a code of conduct violation,
and this Code of Conduct reinforces encouraged behaviors and norms that can
help avoid conflicts and minimize harm.

When an incident does occur, it is important to report it promptly. To report a
possible violation, send a plain text email to public@johnnyrichard.com

Community Moderators take reports of violations seriously and will make every
effort to respond in a timely manner. They will investigate all reports of code
of conduct violations, reviewing messages, logs, and recordings, or
interviewing witnesses and other participants. Community Moderators will keep
investigation and enforcement actions as transparent as possible while
prioritizing safety and confidentiality. In order to honor these values,
enforcement actions are carried out in private with the involved parties, but
communicating to the whole community may be part of a mutually agreed upon
resolution.

ADDRESSING AND REPAIRING HARM
-----------------------------

If an investigation by the Community Moderators finds that this Code of Conduct
has been violated, the following enforcement ladder may be used to determine
how best to repair harm, based on the incident’s impact on the individuals
involved and the community as a whole. Depending on the severity of a
violation, lower rungs on the ladder may be skipped.

* Warning

    * Event: A violation involving a single incident or series of incidents.

    * Consequence: A private, written warning from the Community Moderators.

    * Repair: Examples of repair include a private written apology,
      acknowledgement of responsibility, and seeking clarification on
      expectations.

* Temporarily Limited Activities

    * Event: A repeated incidence of a violation that previously resulted in a
      warning, or the first incidence of a more serious violation.

    * Consequence: A private, written warning with a time-limited cooldown
      period designed to underscore the seriousness of the situation and give
      the community members involved time to process the incident. The cooldown
      period may be limited to particular communication channels or
      interactions with particular community members.

    * Repair: Examples of repair may include making an apology, using the
      cooldown period to reflect on actions and impact, and being thoughtful
      about re-entering community spaces after the period is over.

* Temporary Suspension

    * Event: A pattern of repeated violation which the Community Moderators
      have tried to address with warnings, or a single serious violation.

    * Consequence: A private written warning with conditions for return from
      suspension. In general, temporary suspensions give the person being
      suspended time to reflect upon their behavior and possible corrective
      actions.

    * Repair: Examples of repair include respecting the spirit of the
      suspension, meeting the specified conditions for return, and being
      thoughtful about how to reintegrate with the community when the
      suspension is lifted.

* Permanent Ban

    * Event: A pattern of repeated code of conduct violations that other steps
      on the ladder have failed to resolve, or a violation so serious that the
      Community Moderators determine there is no way to keep the community safe
      with this person as a member.

    * Consequence: Access to all community spaces, tools, and communication
      channels is removed. In general, permanent bans should be rarely used,
      should have strong reasoning behind them, and should only be resorted to
      if working through other remedies has failed to change the behavior.

    * Repair: There is no possible repair in cases of this severity.

This enforcement ladder is intended as a guideline. It does not limit the
ability of Community Managers to use their discretion and judgment, in keeping
with the best interests of our community.

SCOPE
-----

This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
an individual is officially representing the community in public or other
spaces. Examples of representing our community include using an official email
address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an
appointed representative at an online or offline event.
