# Citizen Code of Conduct

## 1. Purpose

We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all. We're here to write code and share
development ideas.

This code of conduct outlines our expectations for all those who participate in our community, as well as the
consequences for unacceptable behavior.

We invite all those who participate in our community to help us create safe and positive experiences for everyone.

## 2. Open [Source/Culture/Tech] Citizenship

A supplemental goal of this Code of Conduct is to increase open [source/culture/tech] citizenship by encouraging
participants to recognize and strengthen the relationships between our actions and their effects on our community.

Communities mirror the societies in which they exist and positive action is essential to counteract the many forms of
inequality and abuses of power that exist in society.

If you see someone who is making an extra effort to ensure our community is welcoming, friendly, and encourages all
participants to contribute to the fullest extent, we want to know.

## 3. Expected Behavior

The following behaviors are expected and requested of all community members:

 * Participate in an authentic and active way. In doing so, you contribute to the health and longevity of this
   community.
 * Exercise consideration and respect in your speech and actions.
 * Attempt collaboration before conflict.
 * Refrain from demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behavior and speech.
 * Be mindful of your surroundings and of your fellow participants. Alert community leaders if you notice a dangerous
   situation, someone in distress, or violations of this Code of Conduct, even if they seem inconsequential.
 * Remember that community event venues may be shared with members of the public; please be respectful to all patrons of
   these locations.

## 4. Unacceptable Behavior

The following behaviors are considered harassment and are unacceptable within our community:

 * Violence, threats of violence or violent language directed against another person.
 * Inappropriate jokes and language of any kind.
 * Posting or displaying sexually explicit or violent material.
 * Posting or threatening to post other people's personally identifying information ("doxing").
 * Personal insults.
 * Inappropriate photography or recording.
 * Inappropriate physical contact. You should have someone's consent before touching them.
 * Unwelcome sexual attention. This includes sexualized comments or jokes; inappropriate touching, groping, and
   unwelcomed sexual advances.
 * Deliberate intimidation, stalking or following (online or in person).
 * Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior.
 * Sustained disruption of community events, including talks and presentations.

## 5. Weapons Policy

No weapons will be allowed at events, community spaces, or in other spaces covered by the scope of this Code of Conduct.
Weapons include but are not limited to guns, explosives (including fireworks), and large knives such as those used for
hunting or display, as well as any other item used for the purpose of causing injury or harm to others. Anyone seen in
possession of one of these items will be asked to leave immediately, and will only be allowed to return without the
weapon. Community members are further expected to comply with all state and local laws on this matter.

## 6. Consequences of Unacceptable Behavior

Unacceptable behavior from any community member, including sponsors and those with decision-making authority, will not
be tolerated.

Anyone asked to stop unacceptable behavior is expected to comply immediately.

If a community member engages in unacceptable behavior, the community organizers may take any action they deem
appropriate, up to and including a temporary ban or permanent expulsion from the community without warning (and without
refund in the case of a paid event).

## 7. Reporting Guidelines

If you are subject to or witness unacceptable behavior, or have any other concerns, please notify a community organizer
as soon as possible. apps@pilgrimagesoftware.com.

Additionally, community organizers are available to help community members engage with local law enforcement or to
otherwise help those experiencing unacceptable behavior feel safe. In the context of in-person events, organizers will
also provide escorts as desired by the person experiencing distress.

## 8. Addressing Grievances

If you feel you have been falsely or unfairly accused of violating this Code of Conduct, you should notify sweetrpg with
a concise description of your grievance. Your grievance will be handled in accordance with our existing governing
policies.

## 9. Scope

We expect all community participants (contributors, paid or otherwise; sponsors; and other guests) to abide by this Code
of Conduct in all community venues--online and in-person--as well as in all one-on-one communications pertaining to
community business.

This code of conduct and its related procedures also applies to unacceptable behavior occurring outside the scope of
community activities when such behavior has the potential to adversely affect the safety and well-being of community
members.
