# Code of conduct The standard everyone in this project's spaces — issues, pull requests, discussions, and any other channel the maintainer opens up — is expected to meet. [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](CONTRIBUTING.md) covers the mechanics of sending a change; this page covers how people are expected to treat each other while doing it. ## Table of contents - [Our pledge](#our-pledge) - [Our standards](#our-standards) - [Enforcement responsibilities](#enforcement-responsibilities) - [Scope](#scope) - [Enforcement](#enforcement) - [Enforcement guidelines](#enforcement-guidelines) - [Attribution](#attribution) ## Our pledge We as members, contributors, and leaders 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. ## Our standards Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment include: - Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people - Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences - Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback - Accepting responsibility and apologizing 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: - The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or advances of any kind - Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks - Public or private harassment - Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email address, without their explicit permission - Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting ## Enforcement responsibilities The maintainer is responsible for clarifying and enforcing these standards and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any behavior deemed inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful. The maintainer has the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions not aligned to this code of conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation decisions when appropriate. ## Scope This code of conduct applies within all community spaces, and also 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. ## Enforcement Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported to the maintainer via the contact information at [ivylikethevine.com](https://ivylikethevine.com). All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly. The maintainer is obligated to respect the privacy and security of the reporter of any incident. Found a _security_ issue rather than a conduct one? Use [the private advisory route](SECURITY.md#reporting-a-vulnerability) instead — it reaches the same person through GitHub's own private channel. ## Enforcement guidelines The maintainer will follow these community impact guidelines in determining the consequences for any action deemed in violation of this code of conduct: ### 1. Correction _Community impact_: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed unprofessional or unwelcome in the community. _Consequence_: A private, written warning, providing clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested. ### 2. Warning _Community impact_: A violation through a single incident or series of actions. _Consequence_: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with those enforcing the code of conduct, for a specified period of time. This includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or permanent ban. ### 3. Temporary ban _Community impact_: A serious violation of community standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior. _Consequence_: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with those enforcing the code of conduct, is allowed during this period. Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban. ### 4. Permanent ban _Community impact_: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior, harassment of an individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals. _Consequence_: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within the community. ## Attribution This code of conduct is adapted from the [Contributor Covenant](https://www.contributor-covenant.org), version 2.1, available at .
