We do not tolerate harassment of participants in any form. 

This code of conduct applies to all DataOps.live spaces, including aCommunity forum, Slack, Events, Webinars, Livestreams, and Newsletters.], both online and off. Anyone who violates this code of conduct may be sanctioned or expelled from these spaces at the discretion of the Community Team. 

Some DataOps.live spaces may have additional rules in place, which will be made clearly available to participants. Participants are responsible for knowing and abiding by these rules. 

Harassment includes: 

• Offensive comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, neuro(a)typicality, physical appearance, body size, age, race, or religion. 

• Unwelcome comments regarding a person’s lifestyle choices and practices, including those related to food, health, parenting, drugs, and employment. 

• Deliberate misgendering or use of ‘dead’ or rejected names. 

• Gratuitous or off-topic sexual images or behavior in spaces where they’re not appropriate. 

• Physical contact and simulated physical contact (eg, textual descriptions like “*hug*” or “*backrub*”) without consent or after a request to stop.

Reporting 

If you are being harassed by a member of DataOps.live Community, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact the Community Team at CCommunity@DataOps.live]. If the person who is harassing you is on the team, they will recuse themselves from handling your incident. We will respond as promptly as we can. 

This code of conduct applies to DataOps.live spaces, but if you are being harassed by a member of DataOps.live Community outside our spaces, we still want to know about it. We will take all good-faith reports of harassment by DataOps.live members, especially LEADERSHIP TEAM, seriously. This includes harassment outside our spaces and harassment that took place at any point in time. The abuse team reserves the right to exclude people from DataOps.live based on their past behavior, including behavior outside DataOps.live spaces and behavior towards people who are not in the DataOps.live Community. 

In order to protect volunteers from abuse and burnout, we reserve the right to reject any report we believe to have been made in bad faith. Reports intended to silence legitimate criticism may be deleted without response. 

We will respect confidentiality requests for the purpose of protecting victims of abuse. At our discretion, we may publicly name a person about whom we’ve received harassment complaints, or privately warn third parties about them, if we believe that doing so will increase the safety of DataOps.live Community members or the general public. We will not otherwise name harassment victims without their affirmative consent. 

Consequences 

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. 

If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the Community Team may take any action they deem appropriate, up to and including expulsion from all DataOps.live spaces and identification of the participant as a harasser to other DataOps.live Community members or the general public.
