This code describes the *minimum* behavior expectations +for all contributors. + +As a contributor to Node.js, how you choose to act and interact towards your +fellow contributors, as well as to the community, will reflect back not only +on yourself but on the project as a whole. The Code of Conduct is designed and +intended, above all else, to help establish a culture within the project that +allows anyone and everyone who wants to contribute to feel safe doing so. + +Should any individual act in any way that is considered in violation of the +[Code of Conduct][], corrective actions will be taken. It is possible, however, +for any individual to *act* in such a manner that is not in violation of the +strict letter of the Code of Conduct guidelines while still going completely +against the spirit of what that Code is intended to accomplish. + +Open, diverse, and inclusive communities live and die on the basis of trust. +Contributors can disagree with one another so long as they trust that those +disagreements are in good faith and everyone is working towards a common goal. + +## Bad actors + +All contributors to Node.js tacitly agree to abide by both the letter and +spirit of the [Code of Conduct][]. Failure, or unwillingness, to do so will +result in contributions being respectfully declined. + +A *bad actor* is someone who repeatedly violates the *spirit* of the Code of +Conduct through consistent failure to self-regulate the way in which they +interact with other contributors in the project. In doing so, bad actors +alienate other contributors, discourage collaboration, and generally reflect +poorly on the project as a whole. + +Being a bad actor may be intentional or unintentional. Typically, unintentional +bad behavior can be easily corrected by being quick to apologize and correct +course *even if you are not entirely convinced you need to*. Giving other +contributors the benefit of the doubt and having a sincere willingness to admit +that you *might* be wrong is critical for any successful open collaboration. + +Don't be a bad actor. + +[Code of Conduct]: https://github.com/nodejs/admin/blob/master/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md -- cgit v1.2.3
