P2P Hack Club’s community includes people from many different backgrounds. We are committed to providing a friendly, safe, and welcoming environment for all, regardless of age, disability, gender, nationality, race, religion, sexuality, or similar personal characteristic.
The first goal of the Code of Conduct is to specify a baseline standard of behavior so that people with different social values and communication styles can communicate effectively, productively, and respectfully.
The second goal is to provide a mechanism for resolving conflicts in the community when they arise.
The third goal of the Code of Conduct is to make our community welcoming to people from different backgrounds. Diversity is critical in order for us to build a thriving community; for P2P Hack Club to be successful, it needs hackers from all backgrounds.
With that said, a healthy community must allow for disagreement and debate. The Code of Conduct is not a mechanism for people to silence others with whom they disagree.
If you join in or contribute to the P2P Hack Club community in any way, you are encouraged to follow the Code of Conduct while doing so.
Explicit enforcement of the Code of Conduct applies to all official online P2P Hack Club services, in-person meetings, and events including:
These are the values to which people in the P2P Hack Club community should aspire.
People are complicated. You should expect to be misunderstood and to misunderstand others; when this inevitably occurs, resist the urge to be defensive or assign blame. Try not to take offense where no offense was intended. Give people the benefit of the doubt. Even if the intent was to provoke, do not rise to it. It is the responsibility of all parties to de-escalate conflict when it arises.
These actions are explicitly forbidden in P2P Hack Club spaces:
Please understand that speech and actions have consequences, and unacceptable behavior will not be tolerated. When you participate in areas where the code of conduct applies, you should act in the spirit of the “Hacker values”. If you conduct yourself in a way that is explicitly forbidden by the Code of Conduct, you will be warned and asked to stop, and your messages may be removed by community moderators. Repeated offenses may result in a temporary or permanent ban from the community.
This procedure only serves as a general guideline for moderation & enforcement of our community conduct. Under all circumstances, the P2P Hack Club coleads may take any action we deem appropriate, including immediate removal from the community.
If you have any questions or concerns about our decision, please reach out to us directly. Our contact email is contact@p2phack.club.
If you encounter a conduct-related issue, you should report it to the coleads (contact@p2phack.club), or to Peak to Peak directly through the communication pathways. Note that the goal of the Code of Conduct is to resolve conflicts in the most harmonious way possible. We hope that in most cases issues may be resolved through polite discussion and mutual agreement. Bannings and other forceful measures are to be employed only as a last resort.
Changes to the Code of Conduct should be proposed by creating an issue here or making a pull request to this document.
This Code of Conduct has been adapted from the national Hack Club Code of Conduct which adapted from Go’s Code of Conduct. It is to be noted that many parts of Go’s Code of Conduct are adopted from the Code of Conduct documents of the Django, FreeBSD, and Rust projects.
