3 == 🎯 Mission & Spirit ==
4
5 Équnité™ is a community-powered, open-knowledge platform dedicated to safer, fairer and more transparent volleyball — in France and beyond.
6 This Code of Conduct (CoC) protects that mission by setting clear standards of courtesy, inclusion and integrity.
7
8 * Empower **players, fans and partners** to share knowledge without fear.
9 * Preserve **anonymity** where required (e.g. club reviews) while valuing accountability.
10 * Foster **constructive collaboration** across languages, genders, skill levels and backgrounds.
11
12 The CoC complements the Équnité General License, Privacy Policy, Terms of Use and Moderation Guidelines.
13
14 == 🌍 Scope ==

18 * Forum, Tracker, Wiki, Connect, group chats, voice calls, live streams and meet-ups
19 * Direct messages initiated via Équnité platforms
20 * Any event, social-media account or repository under the Équnité / PLANIPIX banner
