Code of conduct

The Rolling Scopes School believes our community should be open for everyone.

We are expecting cooperation from all participants to help to ensure a friendly, safe, and welcoming environment for everybody, regardless of:

• gender
• sexual orientation
• disability
• ethnicity
• religion
• politic (war, elections, sanctions and so on)
• preferred operating system
• programming language
• text editor

We expect all faculty, teachers, employees, mentors, students, guests, friends, basically everyone involved with the school, to help us create a safe, constructive and positive environment for everyone.

Let’s build a place where we can achieve more together than we could ever achieve alone.

We expect everyone to:

• Be considerate, respectful, and collaborative.
• Refrain from demeaning, discriminatory, toxic or harassing behavior and speech.
• Create a positive impact on everything around them.
• Participate in an authentic and active way.

But if you need a more explicit list: Unacceptable behaviors include harassing, abusive, discriminatory, or derogatory conduct.

Harassment includes:

• offensive comments related to gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, disability
• deliberate intimidation, stalking, or following
• harassing photography or recording
• sustained disruption of talks, topic channel conversations or events
• unwelcome sexual attention

The toxic behaviour includes:

• unreasonable repetitive critic of the school, its program, mentors and students and supporting this critic
• rude language (including obscene language) in school official communication channels (including Discord, Telegram channels, GitHub repos etc.). Exception: #random channel on Discord.
• insults of other school members in any available communication channels
• unreasonable conspiracy theory spread on school channels

Additionally:
