RxPerl...Conduct(3pm)

💖 Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct 💖

Okay bestie, so this is the RxPerl...Conduct(3pm) page — a User Contributed Perl Documentation moment — and it's literally the community code of conduct, so like… read it, it's giving "we actually care" energy. ✨

🫶 Our Pledge

We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our community a harassment-free experience for everyone. No exceptions, no "but what about—". 💅 Everyone means everyone, regardless of:

• age
• body size
• visible or invisible disability
• ethnicity
• sex characteristics
• gender identity and expression
• level of experience
• education
• socio-economic status
• nationality
• personal appearance
• race
• caste
• color
• religion
• or sexual identity and orientation

We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and healthy community. Periodt. 🌈

🌸 Our Standards

So here's what's iconic — examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our community include:

• Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people — the bare minimum and yet so powerful, ngl
• Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
• Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback (the "gracefully" part is doing a lot of heavy lifting here 😭)
• Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes, and learning from the experience
• Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the overall community — main character energy, but for the group chat 💜

And now the vibe check that nobody wants to fail. Examples of unacceptable behavior include:

• The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or advances of any kind
• Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
• Public or private harassment
• Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email address, without their explicit permission
• Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting

bestie. do not do these. we're being so serious right now. 🚫

👑 Enforcement Responsibilities

Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of acceptable behavior, and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful. They're not doing it to be mean, they're doing it because that's literally the assignment.

Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct — and will communicate reasons for moderation decisions when appropriate. Yes, your PR can get rejected. No, it's not personal. 💀

---

🦋 Scope

This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces. Like, the code of conduct follows you outside the house too. 🙈

Examples of representing our community include:

• using an official e-mail address
• posting via an official social media account
• acting as an appointed representative at an online or offline event

---

🔥 Enforcement

Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at karjala@cpan.org — that's the mailto:karjala@cpan.org address, iykyk. 📧

All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly. All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the reporter of any incident. Your name stays out of it. That's non-negotiable. 🫶

⭐ Enforcement Guidelines

Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct. Ranked list, consequences included, no surprises:

1. Correction

Community Impact: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.

Consequence: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.

2. Warning

Community Impact: A violation through a single incident or series of actions.

Consequence: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or permanent ban.

3. Temporary Ban

Community Impact: A serious violation of community standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior.

Consequence: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period. Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.

4. Permanent Ban

Community Impact: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior, harassment of an individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.

Consequence: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within the community.

🎀 escalating consequences, escalating. don't collect them all, it's not a set.
