## Conduct
|
|
|
|
* We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming
|
|
environment for all, regardless of gender, sexual orientation,
|
|
disability, ethnicity, religion, or similar personal characteristic.
|
|
|
|
* On IRC, please avoid using overtly sexual nicknames or other nicknames
|
|
that might detract from a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for
|
|
all.
|
|
|
|
* Please be kind and courteous. There's no need to be mean or rude.
|
|
|
|
* Respect that people have differences of opinion and that every design
|
|
or implementation choice carries a trade-off and numerous costs. There
|
|
is seldom a right answer.
|
|
|
|
* Please keep unstructured critique to a minimum. If you have solid
|
|
ideas you want to experiment with, make a fork and see how it works.
|
|
|
|
* We will exclude you from interaction if you insult, demean or harass
|
|
anyone. That is not welcome behaviour. We interpret the term
|
|
"harassment" as including the definition in the <a
|
|
href="http://citizencodeofconduct.org/">Citizen Code of Conduct</a>;
|
|
if you have any lack of clarity about what might be included in that
|
|
concept, please read their definition. In particular, we don't
|
|
tolerate behavior that excludes people in socially marginalized
|
|
groups.
|
|
|
|
* Private harassment is also unacceptable. No matter who you are, if you
|
|
feel you have been or are being harassed or made uncomfortable by a
|
|
community member, please contact one of the channel ops or any of the
|
|
Syncthing core team immediately. Whether you're a regular contributor
|
|
or a newcomer, we care about making this community a safe place for
|
|
you and we've got your back.
|
|
|
|
* Likewise any spamming, trolling, flaming, baiting or other
|
|
attention-stealing behaviour is not welcome.
|

## Moderation
|
|
|
|
These are the policies for upholding our community's standards of
|
|
conduct in our communication channels, most notably in Syncthing-related
|
|
IRC channels and on the web forum.
|
|
|
|
1. Remarks that violate the Syncthing standards of conduct, including
|
|
hateful, hurtful, oppressive, or exclusionary remarks, are not
|
|
allowed. (Cursing is allowed, but never targeting another user, and
|
|
never in a hateful manner.)
|
|
|
|
2. Remarks that moderators find inappropriate, whether listed in the
|
|
code of conduct or not, are also not allowed.
|
|
|
|
3. Moderators will first respond to such remarks with a warning.
|
|
|
|
4. If the warning is unheeded, the user will be "kicked," i.e., kicked
|
|
out of the communication channel to cool off.
|
|
|
|
5. If the user comes back and continues to make trouble, they will be
|
|
banned, i.e., indefinitely excluded.
|
|
|
|
6. Moderators may choose at their discretion to un-ban the user if it
|
|
was a first offense and they offer the offended party a genuine
|
|
apology.
|
|
|
|
7. If a moderator bans someone and you think it was unjustified, please
|
|
take it up with that moderator, or with a different moderator, **in
|
|
private**. Complaints about bans in-channel are not allowed.
|
|
|
|
8. Moderators are held to a higher standard than other community
|
|
members. If a moderator creates an inappropriate situation, they
|
|
should expect less leeway than others.
|
|
|
|
In the Syncthing community we strive to go the extra step to look out
|
|
for each other. Don't just aim to be technically unimpeachable, try to
|
|
be your best self. In particular, avoid flirting with offensive or
|
|
sensitive issues, particularly if they're off-topic; this all too
|
|
often leads to unnecessary fights, hurt feelings, and damaged trust;
|
|
worse, it can drive people away from the community entirely.
|
|
|
|
And if someone takes issue with something you said or did, resist the
|
|
urge to be defensive. Just stop doing what it was they complained about
|
|
and apologize. Even if you feel you were misinterpreted or unfairly
|
|
accused, chances are good there was something you could've communicated
|
|
better — remember that it's your responsibility to make your fellow
|
|
community members comfortable. Everyone wants to get along and we are
|
|
all here first and foremost because we want to talk about cool
|
|
technology. You will find that people will be eager to assume good
|
|
intent and forgive as long as you earn their trust.
