We, as contributors and maintainers, pledge to make participation in our community harassment-free for everyone, regardless of age, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity or expression, level of experience, education, socioeconomic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, sexual orientation, or other dimension of identity.
We pledge to interact in ways that foster an open, welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment include:
- showing empathy and kindness toward others;
- respecting different viewpoints and experiences;
- giving and accepting constructive feedback;
- accepting responsibility and apologizing when appropriate;
- focusing on what is best for the overall community;
- supporting the project's scientific ethics: pre-registered evidence boundaries, reproducibility honesty, and clear separation between public evidence and private or sensitive material.
Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
- sexualized language, imagery, attention, or advances;
- insulting or derogatory comments, personal or political attacks, trolling, or sustained disruption;
- public or private harassment;
- publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email address, without explicit permission;
- attempting to pressure contributors into exposing private data, raw payloads, credentials, personal account material, or private-source implementation details;
- other conduct that could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting.
Maintainers are responsible for clarifying and enforcing standards of acceptable behavior. They may remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, issues, pull requests, discussions, or other contributions that are not aligned with this Code of Conduct.
Maintainers will enforce this Code fairly and consistently, using responses they judge appropriate to the circumstances. Maintainers prioritize safety and inclusivity alongside the project integrity boundaries defined in the README and SECURITY policy.
This Code applies to all interaction spaces tied to contributing to ClaimBound Evidence, including issues, discussions, pull requests, and project communications where contributors meet.
Sensitive Code of Conduct reports should not be filed as public GitHub issues. Do not post private messages, personal data, screenshots containing account details, or other sensitive evidence in public project spaces.
If a report involves abuse, harassment, imminent harm, or platform misuse, use GitHub's reporting and abuse tooling:
https://support.github.com/contact/report-abuse
If maintainers publish a dedicated private contact channel, use that channel for private conduct reports related to this repository.
Public GitHub issues may be used only for non-sensitive Code of Conduct process questions, using the title prefix:
[conduct-process]
Maintainers will acknowledge valid reports or process questions promptly when possible, investigate according to severity, and protect reporter privacy within the limits of the channel used.
Repeated bad-faith reports about others also violate this Code.
Maintainers will follow these Community Impact Guidelines when determining consequences for actions they deem to violate this Code:
Community Impact: use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed unprofessional or unwelcome.
Consequence: a private or public written correction from maintainers, providing clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
Community 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, is allowed for a specified period. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or permanent ban.
Community 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 project for a specified period. Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
Community Impact: demonstrating a pattern of violation of community standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior, harassment, aggression, or disparagement of classes of individuals.
Consequence: a permanent ban from any sort of public interaction with the project.
This Code of Conduct derives from Contributor Covenant (version 2.1).
Community Impact Guidelines were inspired by Mozilla's code of conduct enforcement ladder.
