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.
Leaders have the right and responsibility to delete comments or messages in West Seattle LUG-related communication channels (e.g. Meetup, Slack, etc.) that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or permanently any meet-up member for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.
This Code of Conduct applies both within online spaces and in public spaces when an individual is representing West Seattle LUG. Examples of representing West Seattle LUG include, but not limited to, using an official meet-up e-mail address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed representative at an online or offline event. Representation of West Seattle LUG may be further defined and clarified by leaders.
Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported by contacting the West Seattle LUG Leadership team at gekitsuu@gmail.com. All complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The leadership team is obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident. Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.
Leaders who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other members of the West Seattle LUG leadership team.
