# Community standards

Treat contributors, users and maintainers with respect. Be considerate of different backgrounds, experience levels and communication styles. Critique the work with specific evidence; give others room to ask questions and correct mistakes.

Harassment, discrimination, threats, sexualized behavior, deliberate disruption and disclosure of another person's private information are not acceptable in project spaces. Do not use issues or discussions for spam or unsolicited promotion.

To report a concern, contact Softinator through [the official website](https://softinator.ai) and request a private community-safety conversation. Share only the information needed to investigate. Maintainers will limit access to reports to people handling the concern and will not promise absolute confidentiality where legal or safety duties apply.

Maintainers may edit or remove content, close discussions, restrict participation or ban participants according to the severity and pattern of behavior. They should explain decisions privately when practical and consider relevant context. Appeals may be sent through the same private channel for review by a maintainer who was not responsible for the initial decision where possible.

These standards apply to repository issues, pull requests, discussions and project events, including conduct while officially representing the project.
