5 == 🎯 Mission & Spirit ==
6
7 Équnité™ is a community-powered, open-knowledge platform dedicated to safer, fairer and more transparent volleyball — in France and beyond.
8 This Code of Conduct (“CoC”) protects that mission by setting clear standards of courtesy, inclusion and integrity.
9
10 * Empower **players, fans, coaches and clubs** to share knowledge without fear.
11 * Preserve **anonymity** where required (e.g., club reviews) while valuing accountability.
12 * Foster **constructive collaboration** across languages, genders, skill levels and backgrounds.
13
14 _The CoC complements the Équnité General License, Privacy Policy, Terms of Use and Moderation Guidelines._
15
16 == 🌍 Scope ==
17
18 This CoC applies to **all** official Équnité spaces:
19
20 * Forum, Tracker, Wiki, Connect, group chats, voice calls, live streams, meet-ups
21 * Direct messages initiated via Équnité platforms
22 * Any event, social-media account or repository under the Équnité / PLANIPIX banner
23
24 == 🔑 Core Principles ==
25
26 (% class="table-bordered" %)
27 (% class="active" %)|= **Principle** |= **In Practice**
28 | 🙌 Respect | Critique ideas, never people. Assume good intent; use welcoming language. |
29 | 🌈 Inclusivity | No discrimination by nationality, gender, disability, orientation, age, league or contract status. |
30 | 🛡️ Player Safety | Protect anonymity in club reviews; never reveal identities without consent. |
31 | 📢 Transparency | Cite sources, show evidence, mark personal opinions clearly. |
32 | 🎓 Mentorship | Share expertise, encourage newcomers, translate key points for non-native speakers. |
33 | 🔒 Privacy & Consent | Publish only data you own or have permission to share; follow GDPR. |
34 | 🛠️ Constructive Action | Focus on solutions; provide actionable feedback and context. |
35
36 == ✅ Expected Behaviour ==
37
38 * Use inclusive, non-gendered language unless a preference is known.
39 * Provide alternative text for images and respect accessibility needs.
40 * Keep commercial references minimal and fully disclosed (no hidden ads).
41 * Flag sensitive or potentially triggering content with a “content warning”.
42 * Follow project processes (issue templates, roadmap voting, review guidelines).
43
44 == 🚫 Unacceptable Behaviour ==
45
46 * Harassment, slurs, hate speech, or personal threats.
47 * Publishing private or identifying information without consent (“doxxing”).
48 * Sexualised or violent imagery directed at individuals.
49 * Fraud, match-fixing, or encouraging illegal behaviour.
50 * Persistent unwanted contact (stalking, repeated unsolicited DMs).
51 * Spamming, pyramid schemes, or undisclosed advertising.
52 * Retaliation against anyone who reports misconduct.
53
54 == 📝 Reporting Problems ==
55
56 1. **Document** – take a screenshot or save the URL/time stamp.
57 2. **Report** – click *Report* on the post **or** e-mail `conduct@equnite.com`.
58 3. **Confidentiality** – only the CoC Response Team (CRT) sees reports.
59 4. **Acknowledgement** – you’ll receive an initial reply within 48 h.
60
61 _At live events, find a staff badge or text the emergency number on event signage._

65 *(Full matrix in Moderation Guidelines)*

76 == 🤝 Restorative Approach ==
77
78 When safe and feasible, Équnité promotes restorative outcomes (public apology, education, content correction) before punitive bans, mirroring best practice in Fedora, GNOME and Mozilla communities.

81
82 Submit an appeal within 14 days of an enforcement action:
83 * E-mail `appeals@equnite.com` with username, date, and rationale.
84 * A three-person panel (moderator, community rep, PLANIPIX staff) will decide within 30 days.
85 * Panel decisions are final for that incident.
86
87 == 🚀 Community Roles & Merit ==

90 Violation of the CoC can result in loss of such privileges.

94 PLANIPIX may update this CoC for legal, technical, or community reasons.
