Code of Conduct

1. Objective setting Kopiert!

The Code of Conduct supports our efforts to promote good behavior and prevent bad behavior in our community.

The aim of the Code of Conduct for the openCode-Platform is to integrate the widest possible range of people from the most diverse and varied backgrounds and to encourage interaction between them. We are committed to creating a friendly, safe and welcoming environment, regardless of gender and gender identity, sexual orientation, physical and mental ability, ethnic origin and nationality, religion and belief, age and social background, and social and economic status.

This Code of Conduct outlines our expectations of everyone who participates in our community and steps to report unacceptable behavior. We invite everyone to support us in creating safe and positive experiences for all.

2. Scope of application Kopiert!

We expect all participants of the openCode platform to adhere to this Code of Conduct in every interaction with this community - whether online or in person.

This Code of Conduct does not exhaustively set out all the rules for friendly, safe and inclusive interaction in the community, but conveys our values and is intended as a guideline, indicator and inspiration for positive and valuable interaction for everyone.

3. Commitment to diversity Kopiert!

We encourage all individuals to bring different perspectives to the project in compliance with this Code of Conduct.

4. Our principles Kopiert!

Together, we strive with our behavior to help create a positive environment. Since the primary mode of communication is in text form and therefore lacks the tone of voice, gestures or other context that is often crucial for understanding, it is particularly important that these positive behaviors are also conveyed in written communication.

The following behaviors are expected and required of all participants:

• Show consideration for each other and treat each other with respect.
• Use welcoming and inclusive language and choose your words carefully.
• Assume positive intentions from the other person.
• Be patient and respect the time and attention of the community.
• Focus on what is best for the community.
• Actively promote exchange and cooperation in the community.
• Practice constructive criticism and accept it with grace.

5. Unacceptable behavior Kopiert!

We do not accept any behavior that violates our Code of Conduct and are mindful of our environment and all participants.

Please report any misconduct or violations of this Code of Conduct, even if they seem insignificant.

The following behaviors are considered unacceptable and will not be tolerated in our community:

• Sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic or otherwise discriminatory references, statements and language.
• Personal insults, in particular those relating to gender, sexual orientation, origin, religion, lifestyle or disability.
• Intimidation, violence, threats of violence or violent language directed at another person.
• Unwanted sexual intrusiveness in speech and actions.
• Posting or displaying sexual or violent material.
• Persistent disruption of discussion.
• Advocating or encouraging any of the above behaviors.

We cannot fully list all forms of unacceptable behavior and harassment, nor do we attempt to declare some forms of it as harmless or not worthy of action. Rather, we ask you to report the incident if you feel harassed. The report will be handled discreetly and solutions will be sought without publicly addressing it in the forum, as this tends to exacerbate the problems for those affected and the community as a whole.

6. Take action in the event of violations Kopiert!

Please take action and report any violation of the Code of Conduct.

If you are affected by unacceptable behavior, witness it or have other concerns, please report it directly:

• Your preferred contact information so that we can reach you if we have any queries. Anonymous reports will also be processed, but carry the risk of not being able to be processed appropriately in case of open queries.
• Usernames of the persons involved in the incident.
• Your account of the incident and whether you believe the incident is ongoing. If there is a publicly available record, please provide the link to review the incident.
