+# Conduct
+
+* We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all, regardless of level of experience,
+gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age,
+religion, nationality, or other similar characteristic.
+
+* Please avoid using overtly sexual aliases or other nicknames that might detract from a friendly, safe
+and welcoming environment for all.
+
+* Please be kind and courteous. There’s no need to be mean or rude.
+
+* Respect that people have differences of opinion and that every design or implementation choice carries a trade-off
+and numerous costs. There is seldom a right answer.
+
+* Please keep unstructured critique to a minimum. If you have solid ideas you want to experiment with,
+make a fork and see how it works.
+
+* We will exclude you from interaction if you insult, demean or harass anyone. That is not welcome behavior.
+We interpret the term “harassment” as including the definition in the [Citizen Code of Conduct][CCC];
+if you have any lack of clarity about what might be included in that concept, please read their definition.
+In particular, we don’t tolerate behavior that excludes people in socially marginalized groups.
+
+* Private harassment is also unacceptable. No matter who you are, if you feel you have been or are being harassed or
+made uncomfortable by a community member, please contact one of the channel ops or any of the
+[VanillaList moderation team][Moderation team] immediately. Whether you’re a regular contributor or a newcomer,
+we care about making this community a safe place for you and we’ve got your back.
+
+* Likewise any spamming, trolling, flaming, baiting or other attention-stealing behavior is not welcome.
