# Code of Conduct ## The short version Be decent. Argue about code, not about people. Assume the other person is acting in good faith until they clearly aren't. ## What's expected - Give and take technical criticism directly. A blunt "this is wrong because X" is welcome; "you are careless" is not. - Back claims with evidence. In this project especially, "I measured it and here is the output" ends arguments that opinions cannot. - Accept that maintainer time is finite. Unanswered issues are a backlog, not a snub. ## What's not - Harassment, personal attacks, or demeaning comments — including about someone's experience level, language, nationality, gender, or background. - Sexualized language or imagery, in any context. - Publishing anyone's private information without permission. - Deliberately derailing discussions or repeatedly reopening settled decisions without new evidence. ## Scope Applies in issues, pull requests, discussions, commit messages, and any space where you are representing the project. ## Enforcement Report problems to **benerkanrzgc@gmail.com**. Reports are handled privately and the reporter's identity is not disclosed. Responses escalate as warranted: a private correction, a public one, a temporary block, or a permanent ban. The maintainer makes this call and will explain the reasoning to the person affected. --- Adapted in spirit from the [Contributor Covenant](https://www.contributor-covenant.org), shortened to what a project this size can actually enforce.
