Code of Conduct

Our Pledge

We want scalametrics to be a welcoming community. We pledge to make participation a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, religion, sexual identity and orientation, or any other dimension of diversity.

Our Standards

Examples of behavior that helps our community: - Being kind, respectful, and constructive. - Giving and receiving helpful feedback. - Focusing on what’s best for the project and community. - Showing empathy toward other community members.

Examples of behavior that harms our community: - Harassment, insults, or derogatory comments. - Discriminatory jokes or imagery. - Trolling, flame wars, or intentionally derailing conversations. - Publishing others’ private information without permission. - Any other conduct that a reasonable person would consider inappropriate in a professional setting.

Enforcement Responsibilities

Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying standards and taking fair, consistent action when unacceptable behavior occurs. Maintainers may remove or reject contributions, and may ban temporarily or permanently any contributor for behaviors they deem harmful.

Scope

This Code applies within project spaces (issues, PRs, discussions, code reviews, docs, chats) and when an individual is officially representing the project in public spaces.

Reporting

If you experience or witness unacceptable behavior, please report it privately to the maintainers at scalametrics@bitblends.com. You may include: - A description of what happened - Where it happened (issue/PR link, discussion, etc.) - Date/time and any relevant context - Screenshots or other evidence (if available)

We will acknowledge receipt within 3 business days, keep reports confidential to the extent possible, and communicate the next steps.

For urgent threats to safety, contact local authorities first.

Enforcement

All reports will be reviewed and investigated as appropriate. When determining actions, maintainers will consider the impact on the community.
