= Code of Conduct
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
NOTE: As of Feb 2023, "`RESPONSE TEAM`" and "`LEADERSHIP TEAM`" in the text
|
|||
|
|
that follows both refer to me, Daniel Barlow, as the project leader.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Liminix is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for
|
|||
|
|
everyone. We do not tolerate harassment of participants in any form.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This code of conduct applies to all Liminix spaces, including the IRC
|
|||
|
|
channel, mailing lists, and other forums, both online and off. Anyone
|
|||
|
|
who violates this code of conduct may be sanctioned or expelled from
|
|||
|
|
these spaces at the discretion of the RESPONSE TEAM.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Some Liminix spaces may have additional rules in place, which will be
|
|||
|
|
made clearly available to participants. Participants are responsible for
|
|||
|
|
knowing and abiding by these rules.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Harassment includes:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Offensive comments related to gender, gender identity and expression,
|
|||
|
|
sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, neuro(a)typicality,
|
|||
|
|
physical appearance, body size, age, race, or religion.
|
|||
|
|
* Unwelcome comments regarding a person’s lifestyle choices and
|
|||
|
|
practices, including those related to food, health, parenting, drugs,
|
|||
|
|
and employment.
|
|||
|
|
* Deliberate misgendering or use of '`dead`' or rejected names.
|
|||
|
|
* Gratuitous or off-topic sexual images or behaviour in spaces where
|
|||
|
|
they’re not appropriate.
|
|||
|
|
* Physical contact and simulated physical contact (eg, textual
|
|||
|
|
descriptions like "`__hug__`" or "`__backrub__`") without consent or
|
|||
|
|
after a request to stop.
|
|||
|
|
* Threats of violence.
|
|||
|
|
* Incitement of violence towards any individual, including encouraging a
|
|||
|
|
person to commit suicide or to engage in self-harm.
|
|||
|
|
* Deliberate intimidation.
|
|||
|
|
* Stalking or following.
|
|||
|
|
* Harassing photography or recording, including logging online activity
|
|||
|
|
for harassment purposes.
|
|||
|
|
* Sustained disruption of discussion.
|
|||
|
|
* Unwelcome sexual attention.
|
|||
|
|
* Pattern of inappropriate social contact, such as requesting/assuming
|
|||
|
|
inappropriate levels of intimacy with others
|
|||
|
|
* Continued one-on-one communication after requests to cease.
|
|||
|
|
* Deliberate "`outing`" of any aspect of a person’s identity without
|
|||
|
|
their consent except as necessary to protect vulnerable people from
|
|||
|
|
intentional abuse.
|
|||
|
|
* Publication of non-harassing private communication.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Liminix prioritizes marginalized people’s safety over privileged
|
|||
|
|
people’s comfort. RESPONSE TEAM reserves the right not to act on
|
|||
|
|
complaints regarding:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* '`Reverse`' -isms, including '`reverse racism,`' '`reverse sexism,`'
|
|||
|
|
and '`cisphobia`'
|
|||
|
|
* Reasonable communication of boundaries, such as "`leave me alone,`"
|
|||
|
|
"`go away,`" or "`I’m not discussing this with you.`"
|
|||
|
|
* Communicating in a '`tone`' you don’t find congenial
|
|||
|
|
* Criticizing racist, sexist, cissexist, or otherwise oppressive
|
|||
|
|
behavior or assumptions
|
|||
|

|
== Reporting
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you are being harassed by a member of Liminix, notice that someone
|
|||
|
|
else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact the
|
|||
|
|
RESPONSE TEAM at [email address or other contact point]. If the person
|
|||
|
|
who is harassing you is on the team, they will recuse themselves from
|
|||
|
|
handling your incident. We will respond as promptly as we can.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This code of conduct applies to Liminix spaces, but if you are being
|
|||
|
|
harassed by a member of Liminix outside our spaces, we still want to
|
|||
|
|
know about it. We will take all good-faith reports of harassment by
|
|||
|
|
Liminix members, especially LEADERSHIP TEAM, seriously. This includes
|
|||
|
|
harassment outside our spaces and harassment that took place at any
|
|||
|
|
point in time. The abuse team reserves the right to exclude people from
|
|||
|
|
Liminix based on their past behavior, including behavior outside Liminix
|
|||
|
|
spaces and behavior towards people who are not in Liminix.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In order to protect volunteers from abuse and burnout, we reserve the
|
|||
|
|
right to reject any report we believe to have been made in bad faith.
|
|||
|
|
Reports intended to silence legitimate criticism may be deleted without
|
|||
|
|
response.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
We will respect confidentiality requests for the purpose of protecting
|
|||
|
|
victims of abuse. At our discretion, we may publicly name a person about
|
|||
|
|
whom we’ve received harassment complaints, or privately warn third
|
|||
|
|
parties about them, if we believe that doing so will increase the safety
|
|||
|
|
of Liminix members or the general public. We will not name harassment
|
|||
|
|
victims without their affirmative consent.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
== Consequences
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply
|
|||
|
|
immediately.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If a participant engages in harassing behavior, RESPONSE TEAM may take
|
|||
|
|
any action they deem appropriate, up to and including expulsion from all
|
|||
|
|
Liminix spaces and identification of the participant as a harasser to
|
|||
|
|
other Liminix members or the general public.
