# Code of Conduct

We follow the [Contributor Covenant 2.1](https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/2/1/code_of_conduct/).

## In short

- Be welcoming. The project's audience explicitly includes kids and beginners — assume the person you're talking to is one.
- Disagree with the work, not the person.
- No harassment, hate speech, or personal attacks.
- Don't post other people's chess games or Chess.com accounts without their permission.

## Reporting

Report unacceptable behavior by opening a [private security advisory](https://github.com/SikamikanikoBG/patzer/security/advisories/new) (works for any private maintainer-only message, not just security) or by emailing the address on the [maintainer's GitHub profile](https://github.com/SikamikanikoBG). Reports are handled in confidence.

## Enforcement

Maintainers may warn, edit, mute, or ban as proportionate. Decisions are final but appealable to the same address.
