# Code of Conduct
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Introduction
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Exercism is a platform centered around empathetic conversation. We have a low tolerance for communication that makes anyone feel unwelcome, unsupported, insulted or discriminated against.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Seen or experienced something uncomfortable?
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you see or experience abuse, harassment, discrimination, or feel unsafe or upset, please email abuse@exercism.io. We will take your report seriously.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
## Enforcement
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
We actively monitor for Code of Conduct (CoC) violations and take any reports of violations extremely seriously. We have banned contributors, mentors and users due to violations.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
After we receive a report of a CoC violation, we view that person's conversation history on Exercism and related communication channels and attempt to understand whether someone has deliberately broken the CoC, or accidentally crossed a line. We generally reach out to the person who has been reported to discuss any concerns we have and warn them that repeated violations will result in a ban. Sometimes we decide that no violation has occurred and that no action is required and sometimes we will also ban people on a first offense. We strive to be fair, but will err on the side of protecting the culture of our community.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Exercism's leadership reserve the right to take whatever action they feel appropriate with regards to CoC violations.
|
|||
|
|

|||

|
|||
|
|
- We refrain from using language that can be considered offensive or oppressive (systemically or otherwise), eg. sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, classist, etc. - this includes (but is not limited to) various slurs.
|
|||
|
|
- We avoid using offensive topics as a form of humor.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
We actively work towards:
|
|||

|
|
- Disrespect towards others (jokes, innuendo, dismissive attitudes) and towards differences of opinion.
|
|||
|

- Intimidation or harassment (online or in-person). Please read the [Citizen Code of Conduct](https://github.com/stumpsyn/policies/blob/master/citizen_code_of_conduct.md) for how we interpret harassment.
|
|||
|
|
- Inappropriate attention or contact.
|
|||
|
|
- Not understanding the differences between constructive criticism and disparagement.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
These things are NOT OK.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Be aware of how your actions affect others. If it makes someone uncomfortable, stop.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you say something that is found offensive, and you are called out on it, try to:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
- Listen without interruption.
|
|||
|
|
- Believe what the person is saying & do not attempt to disqualify what they have to say.
|
|||
|
|
- Ask for tips / help with avoiding making the offense in the future.
|
|||
|
|
- Apologize and ask forgiveness.
