# Code of Conduct

## Our pledge

We as members, contributors, and maintainers pledge to make participation in the blamejs project a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

We pledge to act in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.

## Our standards

Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment:

- Using welcoming and inclusive language
- Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
- Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
- Focusing on what is best for the community
- Showing empathy towards other community members
- Engaging in technical disagreement on the substance, not the person

Examples of unacceptable behavior:

- Trolling, insulting / derogatory comments, personal or political attacks
- Public or private harassment
- Publishing others' private information (physical or electronic) without explicit permission
- Sexualized language or imagery, sexual attention or advances of any kind
- Persistent disruption of discussions
- Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting

## Scope

This Code of Conduct applies in all project spaces, including:

- The GitHub repository (issues, pull requests, discussions, comments, commit messages)
- Any official communication channel the project operates
- Public spaces when an individual is representing the project (e.g., presenting at a conference, posting on social media as a maintainer)

It also applies to contributor behavior outside project spaces when that behavior has a direct impact on community members' ability to participate in the project safely.

## Enforcement responsibilities

Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying and enforcing this Code of Conduct. They will take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any behavior they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.

Maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned with this Code of Conduct. They will communicate reasons for moderation decisions when appropriate.

## Reporting

If you experience or witness behavior that violates this Code of Conduct, report it to:

**`conduct@blamejs.com`**

All reports will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly. The maintainer team is obligated to respect the privacy and security of the reporter of any incident — reporter identity is shared only with the maintainers handling the report unless the reporter explicitly consents otherwise.

Reports should include:

- A description of what happened
- Where and when it happened (link to the issue / PR / message if applicable)
- Whether the behavior is ongoing
- Any other context you think is relevant

## Enforcement guidelines

Maintainers will follow these guidelines in determining the consequences for any action they deem in violation:

### 1. Correction
**Impact:** Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed unprofessional or unwelcome.
**Consequence:** A private, written warning, providing clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.

### 2. Warning
**Impact:** A violation through a single incident or series of actions.
**Consequence:** A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or permanent ban.

### 3. Temporary ban
**Impact:** A serious violation of community standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior.
**Consequence:** A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period. Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.

### 4. Permanent ban
**Impact:** Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior, harassment of an individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
**Consequence:** A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within the community.
