As such, we want to keep participation in our project and community free of harassment. We therefore ask of everyone, new contributors and long-standing members alike, to be accepting of others regardless of their age, ethnicity, level of experience, nati [...] +We, as contributors and maintainers, aim to create a _focused but welcoming_ environment for others; collaboration, acceptance and respect are the cornerstones upon which we must build our community, otherwise there is no future for it.

This means that the expected conduct and tolerance levels should be fitting the average adult mindset and all participants in the community are assumed to be of adult age or having the mental capacity of an adult. + +When dealing with others in the community, please mind your language use. Try to avoid common curse words or blasphemous expressions. Using strong language is fine, but excessive use of coarse language is frowned upon. Although everyone is assumed to be of adult age (see previous point), and you may be upset about something, you're kindly requested to keep your use of language under control. + +Please keep in mind that the community is made up of people from all walks of life. You are asked to show a reasonable level of tolerance towards other community members, even if their method of approach is different than what you are used to or not the way you would approach others. Many computer software developers are very direct in their approaches or replies because their profession requires them to be focused and efficient in communication; our community has a larger than average p [...] +Conversely, try to keep in mind that other community members may not have the same level of computer skill you do and may need more guidance than you can provide. In that case, please forward the user(s) to the Pale Moon forum in a kind manner or (if already there) step back and excuse yourself and ask someone else to provide further assistance in lieu of getting upset or frustrated. + +Our community is primarily using English as a communication language. Please, at all times, use English when creating tracker issues or asking something of developers. The only exception is the foreign language boards on the forum where you can communicate in non-English languages with other community members to get assistance or discuss things, and of course private communication can be in any language you wish. + +Please do not try to unnecessarily mask your identity. We are all people here, with personalities and identities. It is much easier to relate to and assist someone who actually tries to approach others with a personal identity than someone who goes at length to mask themselves. None of the topics in our community should be personally or ideologically sensitive, so there will be no need to hide/cloak/mask yourself. + +Please do not start discussions about politics, religion, or other touchy subjects that are not necessarily related to the platform and its applications (off-topic) and can easily lead to an very unwelcome atmosphere. Although enforcing of this point will be done leniently, you are asked to apply common sense and stop a particular line of conversation if it gets too heated or opinionated for the community's overall atmosphere. If you want to continue an off-topic or in-depth discussion w [...] + +If your background, religion, upbringing or other social factors make you more sensitive than average in terms of social interaction, imagery and/or language use, and if you easily take offense or are prone to moral outrage over opinions of others, then please understand that this community may possibly not be a good match for you or require you to put in extra effort to be a content member. You should consider this before you decide to join the community in that case, and understand it [...] + +Of course, it should be clear that your participation in our community is at all times one of your own free will. You may leave at any time you wish, for any reason or no reason at all. We do, however, ask of you in that case that no matter the reason, you treat the community you are leaving with respect and honor the choices made for and in it, and do not externalize your grievances with the community as a whole or any specific members in it.
