 # Glowstone Code of Conduct

 ## Purpose

 One of the Glowstone Project's top priorities is to foster an open and
 welcoming environment. As such, it is our responsibility as contributors
 and maintainers to ensure our project is inclusive and harassment-free
 for everyone — regardless of their characteristics. This includes (but is not limited
 to) age, body size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression,
 level of experience, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion,
 or sexual identity and orientation.

 We believe that diversity is a huge strength and in order to encourge
 everyone who participates in the Glowstone Project to help create a welcoming
 and productive atmosphere, we have outlined our expectations for this community,
 consequences for unacceptable behavior, and where you can go for help.

 Please keep in mind that this is not and does not intend to be an exhaustive
 list of all the things that you can't do. Rather, take it for what it was
 made to be: suggestions and guidelines for our community to continue being
 excellent to each other while enriching all of us through your unique experiences
 and ideas.

 ## Our Standards

 We expect all participants in our community to:

 * **Use welcoming and inclusive language.** We expect all members of our
   community to conduct themselves professionally — be kind to others, don't
   insult or put down other participants, and so on. Harassment and other
   exclusionary behavior is not acceptable.
 * **Be respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences.** We are all
   humans with unique experiences and ideas and as such we're bound to
   disagree at some point. However, disagreement is not an excuse for bad
   behavior and poor manners. We understand that sometimes you may get
   frustrated, but it's important never to turn that into a personal attack.
   An environment where people feel uncomfortable or threatened isn't just
   bad, but it's also unproductive. Be respectful of others not just within
   our community, but when representing us to other people outside of our
   community.
 * **Gracefully accept constructive criticism.** Criticism and disagreements —
   both social and technical — happen all the time, but it is important
   that we solve these conflicts constructively. Each of us is different and
   we come from a wide range of backgrounds. Consequentially, we all have
   different perspectives on issues. Even if you don't understand why someone
   has a certain viewpoint on an issue, refrain from blaming and instead focus
   on resolving problems and learning from mistakes.
 * **Focus on what is best for the community.** With a project like Glowstone,
   your work and contributions will affect many other people and you should
   take the consequences of your actions, good or bad, into account when making
   decisions.
 * **Show empathy towards other community members.** We strive to be a friendly
   community that understands and supports people of all backgrounds and identities.
   Try to understand someone's situation and fully realize they're a human —
   just like you — and can make mistakes.

 Following these guidelines will contribute to creating a positive environment
 in our community.

 Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:

 * The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or
   advances
 * Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
 * Public or private harassment (generally, if someone asks you to stop, then stop)
 * Publishing others' private information — such as a physical or electronic
   address — without explicit permission
 * Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
   professional setting

 ## Our Responsibilities

 Project maintainers 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, generally
 following the guidelines for enforcement of this code of conduct.

 Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit,
 or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other
 contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to warn
 or to ban temporarily or permanently any contributor for other behaviors
 that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.

 ## Enforcement

 Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
 reported by contacting the project lead, `mastercoms`, at `circuitsoft at tuta.io`.
 All complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response
 that is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project team
 is obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of
 an incident. If you have a report about `mastercoms`, please contact `gdude2002`.

 Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in
 good faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by
 other members of the project's leadership.

 Generally, if the project team encounters or is shown activity that violates
 this Code of Conduct, we may warn the user up to a maximum of 3 times and
 minimum of 1 time, depending on the severity of the infraction. Warning
 may be done publicly in the communication channel where the violation occurred,
 or may be done privately if the warning involves private and/or sensitive
 information. The offending content may be removed or edited based on the
 discretion of the project team. Once a certain person has been warned
 enough times, they will be temporarily banned from our community and if
 offenses continue after the temporary ban, the person will be permanently
 banned. The project team reserves the right to change this process on a
 case by case basis, especially if the violation is particularly egregious.

 ## Scope

 This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces
 when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples
 of representing a project or community include using an official project
 e-mail address, posting via an official social media account, or acting
 as an appointed representative at an online or offline event. For example,
 this includes (but is not limited to) all of our project's GitHub pages,
 our website, forums, IRC channel, testing server and Discord.
