TouchFish Community Code of Conduct (CoC)

Version: v1.1
Effective Date: 2026-06-12
Scope of Application: All users and contributors using TouchFish software, services, repositories, chat rooms, and other official community channels.

By participating, you agree to abide by this Code of Conduct.

1. Software and Open Source

  • Users must comply with the open source license (e.g., GPL, MIT, Apache 2.0) declared in the corresponding software repository when using, modifying, or distributing TouchFish software.
  • Redistributions of TouchFish software must not remove or alter the original copyright and license notices.
  • In case of compatibility issues between open source licenses, the interpretation stated in the official repository prevails.

2. TouchFish Chat

In the touchfish.xin chat room (including web and client versions), users are prohibited from sending:

  • Content that violates the laws and regulations of the People's Republic of China;
  • Content containing violence, pornography, hatred, discrimination, insults, defamation, intimidation, or harassment;
  • Malicious spamming, advertisements, phishing links, or fraudulent websites;
  • Content that violates others’ privacy or discloses personal information without permission;
  • Any other behavior that disrupts normal chat order or community atmosphere.

Chat room administrators have the right to delete inappropriate content or temporarily mute violating accounts.

3. TouchFish Cloud

  • Users are solely responsible for the compliance of any content (including but not limited to web pages, applications, data, and files) deployed, hosted, or transmitted via TouchFish Cloud.
  • Users must not use TouchFish Cloud for illegal activities, nor store, distribute, or run:
    • Content that infringes third-party intellectual property or trade secrets;
    • Malicious software, cryptominers, botnet controllers;
    • Internet information services prohibited by relevant state authorities.
  • Detailed terms of use are available at: https://icc.gt.tc/terms

4. TouchFish Drive

TouchFish Drive provides cloud storage services. The following rules apply:

  • Prohibited content includes:
    • Illegal information, obscene materials, copyrighted works distributed without authorization;
    • Viruses, trojans, ransomware, or other malicious programs;
    • Excessively large batches of files that may compromise system stability (thresholds will be announced officially).
  • Users are responsible for the confidentiality of their stored files. TouchFish Drive does not proactively review private files but reserves the right to cooperate with legitimate complaints or legal requests.
  • Files violating these rules will be removed without notice. Seriously offending accounts may be suspended or terminated.

5. Feedback and Reporting

Community members are encouraged to provide feedback or report violations:

  • Preferred channels:
    • Official QQ group (group number available at touchfish.xin);
    • Issue section of the corresponding software repository (GitHub / Gitee, etc.).
  • Not recommended: Directly messaging administrators privately for general feedback or reports (private messaging is acceptable only for emergencies or privacy-sensitive matters).
  • Please provide clear, verifiable evidence (screenshots, links, behavior descriptions) for quick processing.

Administrators will keep reporters’ information confidential.

6. Participation and Contribution

All community members may participate in TouchFish projects by submitting Issues or Pull Requests.

  • Discussion principles:
    • Be constructive and respectful of others’ work; avoid personal attacks, mockery, or off-topic arguments;
    • Issues should clearly describe problems or suggestions; PRs should explain the changes and testing performed;
    • Maintainers have the right to close Issues/PRs that violate this CoC or quality standards, with a brief reason provided.
  • Right to withdraw:
    • Any user may voluntarily leave the community at any time, without providing a reason.
    • Even if you have been assigned an Issue or PR, you may abandon participation by clearly stating “I give up” or “I withdraw” in the relevant discussion. The maintainers will reassign the task, and no penalty will be applied.

7. Handling Violations

For violations of this CoC, TouchFish administrators may take one or more of the following actions based on severity:

  • Warning: An official reminder sent through community channels;
  • Mute: Restriction from speaking in chat rooms or discussion areas for a certain period (1 hour, 1 day, 3 days, etc.);
  • Account ban: Permanent or long-term suspension of access to TouchFish community accounts and related services;
  • IP ban: Blocking a specific IP address from accessing community services (chat room, Drive, etc.).

Violation records will be kept internally, and repeat offenders will face escalated penalties. Administrators reserve the right to report serious illegal activities to relevant authorities.

Unblock Request

If a user believes a penalty was unjustified or has corrected their behavior, they may submit an unblock request through the channels described in the “Feedback and Reporting” section (QQ group / repository Issue). The request should include:

  • The banned account or IP;
  • Approximate time of the ban and relevant circumstances;
  • Acknowledgment of the violation (if applicable), corrective actions taken, or a reasonable explanation.

Administrators will review the request within 7 business days and decide whether to maintain or lift the ban. If a user re-offends after an unblock, they will be permanently banned with no further requests accepted.

8. Supplementary Provisions

  • The interpretation of this CoC belongs to the TouchFish organization.
  • This CoC may be revised as the community evolves. Major changes will be announced through official channels.
