To continue growing a safe, welcoming, and fair community, all HangOps members are required to comply with the following code of conduct. HangOps admins are responsible for ensuring that all community members follow this code within HangOps spaces.
Be respectful of other people; respectfully ask people to stop if you are bothered; and if you can’t resolve an issue contact the admins. If you do not follow our Community Code of Conduct, it will be apparent and you may be removed from HangOps.
HangOps is a community of people who care about running production systems reliably. We have diverse backgrounds, skills, talents, experiences, cultures, and opinions. We are an inclusive environment and we treat all individuals respectfully.
We value respectful behavior above individual opinions.
Respectful behavior includes:
- Be considerate, kind, constructive, and helpful.
- Avoid demeaning, discriminatory, harassing, hateful, or physically threatening behavior, speech, and imagery.
- If you’re not sure, ask someone instead of assuming. No, really. Just ask the admins.
- Model respectful behaviour, but also address disrespect when you see it. One of the best ways to create a respectful community is to speak up when you see disrespectful behavior—and not just rely on admins to act!
If you see someone behaving disrespectfully, we urge you to respectfully dissuade them from such behavior.
If you experience disrespectful behavior toward yourself or anyone else and feel in any way unable or unwilling to respond or resolve it respectfully (for any reason), please immediately bring it to the attention of the admins who will listen and work to resolve the matter.
Should you catch yourself behaving disrespectfully, or if someone calls you out on disrespectful behavior, please listen intently, own up to your words and actions, and apologize accordingly. No one is perfect, and even well-intentioned people make mistakes. What matters is how you handle them and that you avoid repeating them.
If the admins determine that someone is behaving disrespectfully, the admins may take any action they deem appropriate within HangOps, up to and including expulsion and exclusion from HangOps.
Admins will seek to resolve conflicts peacefully and in a manner that is positive for the community. The admins can’t foresee every situation, and thus if in the admin's judgment the best thing to do is remove a disrespectful individual, they will do so.
The admins of HangOps as of May 10th, 2017:
