We ask that you don’t just aim to be +"technically unimpeachable", but rather try to be your best self. + +We value many things beyond technical expertise, including collaboration and +supporting others within our community. Providing a positive experience for +other community members can have a much more significant impact than simply +providing the correct answer. ## Our Responsibilities -Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable +Project leaders are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any instances of unacceptable behavior. -Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or -reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions +Project leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or +reject messages, comments, commits, code, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or -permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, -threatening, offensive, or harmful. +permanently any community member for other behaviors that they deem +inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful. + +## Moderation + +Instances of behaviors that violate the Adafruit Community Code of Conduct +may be reported by any member of the community. Community members are +encouraged to report these situations, including situations they witness +involving other community members. + +You may report in the following ways: + +In any situation, you may send an email to . + +On the Adafruit Discord, you may send an open message from any channel +to all Community Moderators by tagging @community moderators. You may +also send an open message from any channel, or a direct message to +@kattni#1507, @tannewt#4653, @Dan Halbert#1614, @cater#2442, +@sommersoft#0222, @Mr. Certainly#0472 or @Andon#8175. + +Email and direct message reports will be kept confidential. + +In situations on Discord where the issue is particularly egregious, possibly +illegal, requires immediate action, or violates the Discord terms of service, +you should also report the message directly to Discord. + +These are the steps for upholding our community’s standards of conduct. + +1. Any member of the community may report any situation that violates the +Adafruit Community Code of Conduct. All reports will be reviewed and +investigated. +2. If the behavior is an egregious violation, the community member who +committed the violation may be banned immediately, without warning. +3. Otherwise, moderators will first respond to such behavior with a warning. +4. Moderators follow a soft "three strikes" policy - the community member may +be given another chance, if they are receptive to the warning and change their +behavior. +5. If the community member is unreceptive or unreasonable when warned by a +moderator, or the warning goes unheeded, they may be banned for a first or +second offense. Repeated offenses will result in the community member being +banned. ## Scope +This Code of Conduct and the enforcement policies listed above apply to all +Adafruit Community venues. This includes but is not limited to any community +spaces (both public and private), the entire Adafruit Discord server, and +Adafruit GitHub repositories.
