We expect all members of the Filecoin community to abide by this Code of Conduct at all times in all Filecoin community venues, online and in person, and in one-on-one communications pertaining to Filecoin affairs.
This policy covers the usage of Filecoin public infrastructure, as well as other Filecoin websites, Filecoin related events, and any other services offered by or on behalf of the Filecoin community. It also applies to behavior in the context of the Filecoin Open Source project communities, including but not limited to public GitHub repositories, IRC channels, social media, mailing lists, and public events.
This Code of Conduct is in addition to, and does not in any way nullify or invalidate, any other terms or conditions related to use of Filecoin services.
The definitions of various subjective terms such as "discriminatory", "hateful", or "confusing" will be decided at the sole discretion of the Filecoin abuse team.
We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all, regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, religion, age, physical appearance, body size, race, or similar personal characteristics.
We ask that you please respect that people have differences of opinion regarding technical choices, and that every design or implementation choice carries a trade-off and numerous costs. There is seldom a single right answer. A difference of technology preferences is not a license to be rude.
Any spamming, trolling, flaming, baiting, or other attention-stealing behavior is not welcome, and will not be tolerated.
Harassing other users is never tolerated, whether via public or private media.
Avoid using offensive or harassing nicknames, or other identifiers that might detract from a friendly, safe, and welcoming environment for all.
Harassment includes, but is not limited to: harmful or prejudicial verbal or written comments related to gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, religion, age, physical appearance, body size, race, or similar personal characteristics; inappropriate use of nudity, sexual images, and/or sexually explicit language in public spaces; threats of physical or non- physical harm; deliberate intimidation, stalking or following; harassing photography or recording; sustained disruption of talks or other events; inappropriate physical contact; and unwelcome sexual attention.
Media shared through public infrastructure run by the Filecoin team must not contain illegal or infringing content. You should only publish content via Filecoin public infrastructure if you have the right to do so. This includes complying with all software license agreements or other intellectual property restrictions. You will be solely responsible for any violation of laws or others’ intellectual property rights.
If you believe someone is harassing you or has otherwise violated this Code of Conduct, please contact us at abuse@filecoin.io to send us an abuse report. If this is the initial report of a problem, please include as much detail as possible. It is easiest for us to address issues when we have more context.
We respect the intellectual property of others and ask that you do too. If you believe any content or other materials available through public Filecoin infrastructure violates a copyright held by you and you would like to submit a notice pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act or other similar international law, you can submit a notice to our agent for service of notice to: abuse@filecoin.io
Please make sure your notice meets the Digital Millennium Copyright Act requirements.
All content published to public Filecoin infrastructure is hosted at the sole discretion of the Filecoin team.
Unacceptable behavior from any community member will not be tolerated.
Anyone asked to stop unacceptable behavior is expected to comply immediately.
If a community member engages in unacceptable behavior, the Filecoin team may take any action they deem appropriate, up to and including a temporary ban or permanent expulsion from the community without warning (and without refund in the case of a paid event or service).
Please contact abuse@filecoin.io if you need to report a problem or address a grievance related to an abuse report.
If you feel you have been falsely or unfairly accused of violating this Code of Conduct, you should contact abuse@filecoin.io. We will do our best to ensure that your grievance is handled appropriately.
In general, we will choose the course of action that we judge as being most in the interest of fostering a safe and friendly community.
Please contact abuse@filecoin.io if you need to report a problem or address a grievance related to an abuse report.
You are also encouraged to contact us if you are curious about something that might be "on the line" between appropriate and inappropriate content. We are happy to provide guidance to help you be a successful part of our community.
