CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md

Rules

1. Do not act against the interest of, or with lack of care for, the NoCloud mission
2. Participate with genuine respect for others as individuals, not treating them as obstacles or instruments
3. No bad faith communication
4. No hidden agendas
5. No sustained emotional reasoning
6. Do your own homework
7. Additional rules may be added if necessary

Rule interpretation can be subjective and may be exploited through bad-faith tactics like sea-lioning. Therefore, when a violation is suspected, the burden of proof to demonstrate compliance lies with the user.

Failure to comply will lead to temporary or, in severe cases, permanent removal.

Additionally, temporary removal may be conducted when deemed necessary for signal-to-noise or de-escalative reasons.

Rules - for normal people

1. Don't be a dick

Appeal process

People found to be in violation of the rules have the option to appeal their case through the general process through which adults resolve misunderstandings and other conflicts.

This usually entails giving everyone involved time to cool down and think, then diplomatically reaching out in private, explaining where they came from, displaying effort being put into understanding, showing genuine regret for the situation and a desire to resolve it.
