# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct

## Our Pledge

In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

## Our Standards

Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment include:

* Using welcoming and inclusive language
* Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
* Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
* Focusing on what is best for the community
* Showing empathy towards other community members

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
* 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.

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 ban temporarily or permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.

## 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. Representation of a project may be further defined and clarified by project maintainers.

## Enforcement

Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by contacting the project team at [email protected]. The project team will review and investigate all complaints, and will respond in a way that it deems appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident. Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.

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.

## Attribution

This Code of Conduct is adapted from the [Contributor Covenant][homepage], version 1.4, available at [http://contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4][version]

While I agree we should add a section on communication and the platform for it, the above sounds too loose. I suggest we amend it slightly. Adding a section on When we disagree, try to understand why and Be careful in the words that you choose etc...or something of like nature.

Honestly this whole thing opens up a massive can of worms. It gives external parties the power to expel core developers over petty person and political differences. It has nothing to do with development and is in it's entirety political in nature.

It's disgusting. I will not contribute but will stick with TruffleFramework who have avoided kowtowing to this external political imposition.

This contract is nothing but a risk.

careful in the words that you choose

This document exists only to give power over your project to others.

Thanks @mryellow I think your right to have alarm and want to look at the implications of the code of conduct more broadly. I'm going to investigate this more myself


Alright, just reviewed, IMO generally I think there is little reason to be concerned with this code of conduct being overly stringent or exclusive to well intentioned devs even ones with a sharp tongue.

I guess I'd consider revising the language inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful. - I think that's maybe a bit to protectionary - IMO may be better as to only include threatening or derogatory - but honestly this thing is worded vaguely enough that many things can be reasoned through.

I DO really like the words that you suggested earlier though:

Everyone has the right to communicate opinions and ideas without fear of censorship. Consideration shall be given to all constructive speech that is based in fact and reason.


going to keep thinking about this

Curtiosity of @go1dfish with notabug. Got me thinking about it too, always been a bit of an absolutist on these things thanks to Frank Zappa (Crossfire re: parental advisory labelling) and when I saw the types of arguments made by the people behind these codes it started raising more red-flags.

For some context on how this type of thing can be played out politically.
