Code of Conduct

Any contributor of the IPv8 project (by posting an issue or by contributing code) is expected to follow the following 3 rules. In case of minor transgressions you will be warned. Major transgressions will result in banishment from this project. Administrators reserve the right to judge the severity of your transgression: it is not up for debate.

1. Abide by the Golden Rule.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Rule

Examples of violations include:

  • Posting non-constructive issues (e.g. posting an issue titled "I don't like you" without content).
  • Excessive trolling (e.g. to the point of violating rule 2 and 3).
  • Aggression (e.g. swearing at others or sexual intimidation).
  • Not respecting someone's time (e.g. posting exceptionally long issues or linking to unrelated resources).

Violations of this nature will usually result in a warning and an edit or removal of your original content and may be accompanied by a ban.

2. Respect the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Examples of violations include judging contributions based on:

  • Racism.
  • Sexism.
  • Political or theological views.

Violations of this nature are usually criminalized by law and will always result in a ban without warning. The offending content will be removed.

3. Be professional and scientific.

IPv8 should be a safe space for development, free from societal pressures and political games.

Examples of violations include:

  • Changing code without fixing a bug or implementing a feature (e.g. including a new dependency because "everyone else is using it"). This leads to edit wars, see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Lamest_edit_wars.
  • Gaming GitHub metrics (e.g. insisting on being the one to merge a Pull Request to get a larger amount of line changes).
  • Being pedantic or belittling when giving feedback (e.g. insulting someones education when pointing out a flaw).
  • Ungracefully receiving feedback (e.g. closing an unrelated Pull Request if your changes did not get accepted).
  • Administrator rights abuse (e.g. not adhering to the contributing guidelines "because you're an administrator").

Violations of this nature will usually result in a warning and an edit of your original content. But, in extreme cases, may also result in a ban.
