# Code of conduct
# Code of Conduct
HellionChat is a small hobby project. The contributor base is tiny and
the moderation overhead I can afford is equally small, so this document
is short and direct.
## A Note on This Project
## What I expect from contributors
HellionChat is a one-person side project developed under Hellion Forge.
I maintain this in my spare time, which means replies can take a few
days. Please do not escalate just because a thread is quiet.
- Be respectful in issues, pull requests, discussions and any other
project space (Discord, email).
- Keep feedback focused on the code, the design or the documentation.
Critique the work, not the person.
- Assume good intent. People come from different backgrounds, time
zones and skill levels. A clarifying question is almost always a
better first move than an accusation.
- Stay on topic. This project is about a Dalamud chat plugin. Off-topic
arguments belong elsewhere.
- Respect that I maintain this in my spare time. Replies can take a
few days. Please do not escalate just because a thread is quiet.
When in doubt, assume good intent. Contributors come from different
backgrounds, time zones and skill levels. A clarifying question is
almost always a better first move than an accusation.
## What is not welcome
Please also keep discussions on topic. This project is about a Dalamud
chat plugin. Off-topic arguments belong elsewhere.
- Personal attacks, slurs, doxxing, sustained disruption of threads.
- Unsolicited private contact after I have asked someone to stop.
- Sharing of private conversations without consent.
- Any content that would put other contributors or end users at risk.

## Scope
## Our Pledge
This applies to every space the project owns or that I run on its
behalf: the GitHub repository, GitHub Discussions, project-related
Discord conversations and the maintainer email address listed in
`SECURITY.md`.
We pledge to make our community welcoming, safe, and equitable for all.
It also applies when someone is identifiably representing the project
in another space, for example posting as a HellionChat maintainer in
the Dalamud Discord.
We are committed to fostering an environment that respects and promotes
the dignity, rights, and contributions of all individuals, regardless
of characteristics including race, ethnicity, caste, color, age,
physical characteristics, neurodiversity, disability, sex or gender,
gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, language, philosophy
or religion, national or social origin, socio-economic position, level
of education, or other status. The same privileges of participation are
extended to everyone who participates in good faith and in accordance
with this Covenant.
## Encouraged Behaviors
While acknowledging differences in social norms, we all strive to meet
our community's expectations for positive behavior. We also understand
that our words and actions may be interpreted differently than we intend
based on culture, background, or native language.
With these considerations in mind, we agree to behave mindfully toward
each other and act in ways that center our shared values, including:
1. Respecting the **purpose of our community**, our activities, and our
ways of gathering.
2. Engaging **kindly and honestly** with others.
3. Respecting **different viewpoints** and experiences.
4. **Taking responsibility** for our actions and contributions.
5. Gracefully giving and accepting **constructive feedback**.
6. Committing to **repairing harm** when it occurs.
7. Behaving in other ways that promote and sustain the **well-being of
our community**.
## Restricted Behaviors
We agree to restrict the following behaviors in our community.
Instances, threats, and promotion of these behaviors are violations of
this Code of Conduct.
1. **Harassment.** Violating explicitly expressed boundaries or engaging
in unnecessary personal attention after any clear request to stop.
2. **Character attacks.** Making insulting, demeaning, or pejorative
comments directed at a community member or group of people.
3. **Stereotyping or discrimination.** Characterizing anyone's
personality or behavior on the basis of immutable identities or
traits.
4. **Sexualization.** Behaving in a way that would generally be
considered inappropriately intimate in the context or purpose of the
community.
5. **Violating confidentiality.** Sharing or acting on someone's
personal or private information without their permission.
6. **Endangerment.** Causing, encouraging, or threatening violence or
other harm toward any person or group.
7. Behaving in other ways that **threaten the well-being** of our
community.
### Other Restrictions
1. **Misleading identity.** Impersonating someone else for any reason,
or pretending to be someone else to evade enforcement actions.
2. **Failing to credit sources.** Not properly crediting the sources of
content you contribute.
3. **Promotional materials.** Sharing marketing or other commercial
content in a way that is outside the norms of the community.
4. **Irresponsible communication.** Failing to responsibly present
content which includes, links to, or describes any other restricted
behaviors.

## Enforcement
I am the sole maintainer, so enforcement is a single-person process.
Depending on what happened and how the person responds, I will pick
the lightest measure that resolves the issue:
I will pick the lightest measure that actually resolves the situation:
1. Private note asking the behaviour to stop.
2. Public correction in the affected thread.
3. Edit or removal of the offending content.
4. Temporary block from the repository or related spaces.
5. Permanent block.
4. Private written warning with a cooldown period.
5. Temporary block from the repository or related spaces.
6. Permanent block.

harassment or threats.

## Acknowledgement
## Scope
This document is intentionally short and project-specific rather than
a copy of a longer template. If you need a more formal reference, the
[Contributor Covenant](https://www.contributor-covenant.org/) is a
widely adopted starting point and the spirit of this document is
compatible with it.
This Code of Conduct applies to all spaces the project owns or that I
run on its behalf: the GitHub repository, GitHub Discussions,
project-related Discord conversations, and the maintainer contact
listed in [`SECURITY.md`](SECURITY.md). It also applies when someone
is identifiably representing HellionChat elsewhere, for example when
posting as a HellionChat maintainer in the Dalamud Discord.
