- We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all, regardless of level of experience, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age, religion, nationality, or other similar characteristics.
- Please be kind and courteous. There's no need to be rude.
- We will exclude you from interaction if you insult, demean or harass anyone. That is not welcome behavior; we strive to be inclusive. In particular, we don't tolerate behavior that excludes people in socially marginalized groups.
- If you feel you are being harassed, or someone else's actions have made you uncomfortable, please contact us. Whether you're a regular contributor or a newcomer, we care about making this community a safe place for you and we've got your back. If the offender was an admin or core developer, use [email protected]. Emails send to this address will be forwarded only to one person appointed to handle those issues.
- Respect that people have differing opinions and that every design or implementation choice carries a trade-offs. There is seldom one right answer.
- Please keep unstructured critique to a minimum. If you have solid ideas you want to experiment with, make a branch and see how it works.
- This community exists to focus on Veloren, keep off-topic content to the respective channels.
These are the policies for upholding our community's standards of conduct. If you feel that a discussion needs moderation, please contact us.
- Any remarks that violate the Veloren standards of conduct, are not allowed and will result in a ban.
- Remarks that moderators find inappropriate, whether listed in the code of conduct or not, are also not allowed. In this case moderators will respond with a warning, kick, ban scheme if the user continues to make trouble.
- Moderators may choose at their discretion to un-ban the user if it was a first offence, and they offer the offended party a genuine apology.
- If a moderator bans someone, and you think it was unjustified, please take it up with that moderator, or with a different moderator, in private. Complaints about bans are not allowed on our public channels.
- Moderators, organization members, and anyone closely involved with the Veloren project are held to a higher standard than other community members. If a moderator creates an inappropriate situation, they should expect less leeway than others.
In the Veloren community we strive to go the extra step to look out for each other. Don't just aim to be technically unimpeachable, try to be your best self. Be careful when you speak about offensive or sensitive issues, particularly if they're off-topic; this all too often leads to unnecessary fights, hurt feelings, and damaged trust; worse, it can drive people away from the community entirely.
If you have been called out for violating this code, resist the urge to be defensive. Just stop doing what it was they complained about and apologize. Even if you feel you were misinterpreted or unfairly accused, chances are good there was something you could've communicated better — remember that it's your responsibility to make your fellow Veloren community members comfortable. Everyone wants to get along and we are all here first and foremost because we want to talk about making games. You will find that people will be eager to assume good intent and forgive as long as you earn their trust.
The enforcement policies listed above apply to all official Veloren venues; including all Veloren Discord channels; in-game chat; Gitlab and GitHub repositories under Veloren; and any other social media platforms related to Veloren.
This Code of Conduct is based on the Amethyst Code of Conduct, available here which is based on the Rust Code of Conduct, available here.
