GhostBSD Community Code of Conduct
==================================

The GhostBSD community has always worked to be a welcoming and respectful community, and we want to ensure that doesn’t change as we grow and evolve. To that end, we have a few ground rules that we ask people to adhere to:
* be friendly and patient,
* be welcoming,
* be considerate,
* be respectful,
* be careful in the words that you choose and be kind to others,
* when we disagree, try to understand why.

This isn’t an exhaustive list of things that you can’t do. Rather, take it in the spirit in which it’s intended - a guide to make it easier to communicate and participate in the community.

This code of conduct applies to all spaces managed by the GhostBSD project. This includes online platforms (such as forums, wikis, Telegram, IRC), issue trackers, bug reports, GhostBSD events (like developer meetings and socials), and any other communication channels created by the project. It covers all forms of interaction in these spaces, including but not limited to emails, chats, verbal communication, presentations, visual materials, and even clothing displayed in these contexts.

If you believe someone is violating the code of conduct, we ask that you report it by emailing [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]?subject=Reported%20CoC%20Violation).
* **Be friendly and patient.**
* **Be welcoming.** We strive to be a community that welcomes and supports people of all backgrounds and identities. This includes, but is not limited to members of any race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, color, immigration status, social and economic class, educational level, sex, sexual orientation, gender, age, size, family status, political belief, religion or lack thereof, and mental and physical ability.
* **Be considerate.** Your work will be used by other people, and you in turn will depend on the work of others. Any decision you take will affect users and colleagues, and you should take those consequences into account. Remember that we’re a world-wide community, so you might not be communicating in someone else’s primary language.
* **Be respectful.** Not all of us will agree all the time, but disagreement is no excuse for poor behavior and poor manners. We might all experience some frustration now and then, but we cannot allow that frustration to turn into a personal attack. It’s important to remember that a community where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one. Members of the GhostBSD community should be respectful when dealing with other members as well as with people outside the GhostBSD community.
* **Be careful in the words that you choose and be kind to others.** Do not insult or put down other participants. Harassment and other exclusionary behavior aren’t acceptable. This includes, but is not limited to:
* Violent threats or language directed against another person.
* Discriminatory jokes and language.
* Posting sexually explicit or violent material.
* Posting (or threatening to post) other people’s personally identifying information ("doxing").
* Personal insults, especially those using racist or sexist terms.
* Unwelcome sexual attention.
* Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior.
* **In general, if someone asks you to stop, then stop.** Persisting in such behavior after being asked to stop is considered harassment.
* **When we disagree, try to understand why.** Disagreements, both social and technical, happen all the time and GhostBSD is no exception. It is important that we resolve disagreements and differing views constructively. Remember that we’re different. The strength of GhostBSD comes from its varied community, people from a wide range of backgrounds. Different people have different perspectives on issues. Being unable to understand why someone holds a viewpoint doesn’t mean that they’re wrong. Don’t forget that it is human to err and blaming each other doesn’t get us anywhere. Instead, focus on helping to resolve issues and learning from mistakes.
The GhostBSD community is committed to fostering a respectful, inclusive, and productive environment for all members. To achieve this, we ask everyone to follow these principles:

## Questions?
If you have questions, please feel free to contact the GhostBSD Code of Conduct Committee by emailing [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]?subject=Code%20of%20Conduct%20Question).
1. **Be friendly and patient.** Engage others with understanding and kindness.
2. **Be welcoming.** Support people of all backgrounds and identities.
3. **Be considerate.** Recognize how your actions and decisions impact others.
4. **Be respectful.** Treat others with courtesy, whether they are part of or outside the GhostBSD community.
5. **Engage constructively.** Handle disagreements by focusing on ideas, not individuals.

**Unacceptable Behavior**
The following behaviors are not allowed:
- Threats or violent language.
- Discriminatory remarks, jokes, or language.
- Sharing explicit, violent, or private material without consent.
- Personal attacks, harassment, or targeting based on race, gender, or other personal traits.
- Repeated disruptive behavior after being asked to stop.

If someone expresses discomfort or requests you stop certain behavior, assess whether your actions align with these principles. Persisting in objectively harmful behavior constitutes harassment.

**Scope**
This Code applies to GhostBSD-managed spaces, including forums, Telegram, IRC, GitHub, events, and any other community platforms. Enforcement is limited to behaviors that affect the community’s inclusiveness, productivity, or reputation.

## Thanks!
This text is based on the [FreeBSD CoC](https://www.freebsd.org/internal/code-of-conduct/), which is base on the LLVM Project’s [draft CoC](https://llvm.org/docs/CodeOfConduct.html), which is in turn is base on the [Django Project Code of Conduct](https://www.djangoproject.com/conduct/).
**Reporting and Accountability**
Violations can be reported to **[email protected]**. Reports will be handled transparently and fairly. When appropriate, mediation may be offered to resolve disputes.

By adhering to this Code, we ensure GhostBSD remains a positive space for all.
