+# Code of Conduct
+
+Everyone is required to agree to and follow this Code of Conduct. Inappropriate behavior or harassment of any kind is not tolerated and violaters will be removed from the community.
+
+This is a NO RECRUITER and NO RECRUITING zone. This is a safe place for developers to gather and learn from one another. Please refrain from advertising your company or your job openings here. 
+
+This is a NO LURKER zone. Community members are required to provide the following minimum bits of information: full name, current place of work and job title. A link to a LinkedIn profile or other website is fine if it includes this information. It's important for everyone to understand clearly who they are talking to. 
+
+Discouraged behaviors include: directly DM-ing people. Please try and conduct all conversation in the open. It helps us all learn. If a comment must be private, please ask if it's OK to DM them. Only DM people if you are positive that it is welcome. 
+
+Unacceptable behaviors include: intimidating, harassing, abusive, discriminatory, derogatory or demeaning speech or actions by any participant. This includes in our Discord community online, at all related events, and in one-on-one communications carried out in the context of community business. 
+
+The Fizbuz Discord community is dedicated to providing a harassment-free space for developers regardless of gender identity, sex, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, physical appearance, or body size. Harassment includes: prejudicial verbal or written comments, sexual imagery or inappropriate use of nudity, deliberate intimidation, stalking or following, sustained disruption of conversation and unwelcome sexual attention.
+
+Finally, anything that would make someone think "Hmmm, that's inappropriate" may also be unacceptable behavior.
+
+Any community member asked to stop any harassing behavior is expected to comply immediately. 
+
+# Reporting
+
+If you feel uncomfortable, are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact @carter or email carter@fizbuz.com immediately. 
+
+# Enforcement
+
+If a community member is asked to stop harassing or inappropriate behavior, they are expected to do so immediately. If a community member engages in harassing behavior, the moderators may take any action they deem appropriate; this may include warning the person, immediate removal from the Discord community, and/or banning from any future gatherings and events. 
+
+Our foremost concern is the safety and comfort of all our community members. We will evaluate any possible sanctions with regard to whether or not they provide the safety needed.
