This forum is meant for everyone who is interested in technologies in and around electronics and hardware development. This also includes embedded system programming, programming languages and more. We here at 1BitSquared believe that sharing knowledge is fun and we love seeing all the amazing creations people make. So this forum is not just meant for 1BitSquared products. We want this place to be a welcoming and friendly place to share and discuss the shared passion for creating things.
1BitSquared Community Code of Conduct
Our Pledge
In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as contributors and leaders pledge to making participation in our project and our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level or type of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
Our Standards
We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all.
Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment include:
- Be kind and courteous to others
- Using welcoming and inclusive language
- Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
- Collaborating with other community members
- Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
- Focusing on what is best for the community
- Showing empathy towards other community members
Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
- The use of sexualized language or imagery and sexual attention or advances
- The use of inappropriate images, including in a community member’s avatar
- The use of inappropriate language, including in a community member’s nickname
- Any spamming, flaming, baiting or other attention-stealing behavior
- Excessive or unwelcome helping; answering outside the scope of the question asked
- Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
- Public or private harassment
- Publishing others’ private information, such as a physical or electronic address, without explicit permission
- Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate
The goal of the standards and moderation guidelines outlined here is to build and maintain a respectful community. We ask that you don’t just aim to be “technically unimpeachable”, but rather try to be your best self.
We value many things beyond technical expertise, including collaboration and supporting others within our community. Providing a positive experience for other community members can have a much more significant impact than simply providing the correct answer.
Our Responsibilities
Project leaders are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
Project leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject messages, comments, commits, code, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or permanently any community member for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.
Moderation
Instances of behaviors that violate the 1BitSquared Community Code of Conduct may be reported by any member of the community. Community members are encouraged to report these situations, including situations they witness involving other community members.
You may report in the following ways:
In any situation, you may send an email to support@1bitsquared.com.
On the 1BitSquared Forum, you may send private message to @moderators or to @esden.
Email and direct message reports will be kept confidential.
These are the steps for upholding our community’s standards of conduct.
- Any member of the community may report any situation that violates the 1BitSquared Community Code of Conduct. All reports will be reviewed and investigated.
- If the behavior is an egregious violation, the community member who committed the violation may be banned immediately, without warning.
- Otherwise, moderators will first respond to such behavior with a warning.
- Moderators follow a soft “three strikes” policy - the community member may be given another chance, if they are receptive to the warning and change their behavior.
- If the community member is unreceptive or unreasonable when warned by a moderator, or the warning goes unheeded, they may be banned for a first or second offense. Repeated offenses will result in the community member being banned.
Scope
This Code of Conduct and the enforcement policies listed above apply to all 1BitSquared Community venues. This includes but is not limited to any community spaces (both public and private), the entire 1BitSquared Discord server, and all 1BitSquared associated GitHub repositories (including iCEBreaker, blackmagic, and so on). Examples of 1BitSquared Community spaces include but are not limited to meet-ups, audio chats on the 1BitSquared Discord, or interaction at a conference.
This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces when an individual is representing the project or its community. As a community member, you are representing our community, and are expected to behave accordingly.
