Enforcement Responsibilities

Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.

Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned with this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation decisions when appropriate.

Scope

This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, including:

  • GitHub repository (issues, pull requests, discussions)
  • Project communication channels
  • Public spaces when representing the project

Enforcement

Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported to the project maintainers via GitHub Issues or by contacting maintainers directly through their affiliated organizations.

All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly. All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the reporter of any incident.

Community leaders will follow these guidelines in determining consequences:

1. Correction
