| 32 | +## Scope |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +We expect all members of the Filecoin community to abide by this Code of Conduct |
| 35 | +at all times in all Filecoin community venues, online and in person, and in one-on-one |
| 36 | +communications pertaining to Filecoin affairs. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +This policy covers the usage of Filecoin public infrastructure, as well as other Filecoin websites, Filecoin related events, |
| 39 | +and any other services offered by or on behalf of the Filecoin community. It also |
| 40 | +applies to behavior in the context of the Filecoin Open Source project |
| 41 | +communities, including but not limited to public GitHub repositories, IRC |
| 42 | +channels, social media, mailing lists, and public events. |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +This Code of Conduct is in addition to, and does not in any way nullify or |
| 45 | +invalidate, any other terms or conditions related to use of Filecoin services. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +The definitions of various subjective terms such as "discriminatory", |
| 48 | +"hateful", or "confusing" will be decided at the sole discretion of the Filecoin |
| 49 | +abuse team. |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +## Friendly Harassment-Free Space |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for |
| 54 | +all, regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, |
| 55 | +religion, age, physical appearance, body size, race, or similar personal |
| 56 | +characteristics. |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +We ask that you please respect that people have differences of opinion |
| 59 | +regarding technical choices, and that every design or implementation choice |
| 60 | +carries a trade-off and numerous costs. There is seldom a single right answer. |
| 61 | +A difference of technology preferences is not a license to be rude. |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +Any spamming, trolling, flaming, baiting, or other attention-stealing |
| 64 | +behavior is not welcome, and will not be tolerated. |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +Harassing other users is never tolerated, whether via public or private media. |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +Avoid using offensive or harassing nicknames, or other identifiers that might |
| 69 | +detract from a friendly, safe, and welcoming environment for all. |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +Harassment includes, but is not limited to: harmful or prejudicial verbal or |
| 72 | +written comments related to gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, |
| 73 | +ethnicity, religion, age, physical appearance, body size, race, or similar |
| 74 | +personal characteristics; inappropriate use of nudity, sexual images, and/or |
| 75 | +sexually explicit language in public spaces; threats of physical or non- |
| 76 | +physical harm; deliberate intimidation, stalking or following; harassing |
| 77 | +photography or recording; sustained disruption of talks or other events; |
| 78 | +inappropriate physical contact; and unwelcome sexual attention. |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +Media shared through public infrastructure run by the Filecoin team must not |
| 81 | +contain illegal or infringing content. You should only publish content via |
| 82 | +Filecoin public infrastructure if you have the right to do so. This includes |
| 83 | +complying with all software license agreements or other intellectual property |
| 84 | +restrictions. You will be solely responsible for any violation of laws or |
| 85 | +others’ intellectual property rights. |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +## Avoid Marketing or Soliciting |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +You are welcome to post endorsements of tools, products or services that you |
| 90 | +personally find useful, but please refrain from blatant advertising, marketing |
| 91 | +or any kind of spam. Selling commercial services or fundraising is not allowed. |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +## Reporting Violations of this Code of Conduct |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +If you believe someone is harassing you or has otherwise violated this Code of |
| 96 | +Conduct, please contact us at <abuse@filecoin.io> to send us an abuse report. If |
| 97 | +this is the initial report of a problem, please include as much detail as |
| 98 | +possible. It is easiest for us to address issues when we have more context. |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +## Copyright Violations |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +We respect the intellectual property of others and ask that you do too. If you |
| 103 | +believe any content or other materials available through public Filecoin |
| 104 | +infrastructure violates a copyright held by you and you would like to submit a |
| 105 | +notice pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act or other similar |
| 106 | +international law, you can submit a notice to our agent for service of notice |
| 107 | +to: <abuse@filecoin.io> |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +Please make sure your notice meets the Digital Millennium Copyright Act |
| 110 | +requirements. |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +## Consequences |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | +All content published to public Filecoin infrastructure is hosted at the sole |
| 115 | +discretion of the Filecoin team. |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +Unacceptable behavior from any community member will not be tolerated. |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +Anyone asked to stop unacceptable behavior is expected to comply immediately. |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +If a community member engages in unacceptable behavior, the Filecoin team |
| 122 | +may take any action they deem appropriate, up to and including a temporary ban |
| 123 | +or permanent expulsion from the community without warning (and without refund |
| 124 | +in the case of a paid event or service). |
| 125 | + |

| 132 | +of Conduct, you should contact <abuse@filecoin.io>. We will do our best to ensure |
| 133 | +that your grievance is handled appropriately. |
| 134 | + |
