nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual

identity and orientation.

or harmful.

113+
comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are

115+
decisions when appropriate.

## Reporting Guidelines
118+
119+
### How to Report
120+
121+
If you are subject to or witness unacceptable behavior, or have any other concerns,
122+
please notify the community leaders as soon as possible through one of these channels:
123+
124+
**Primary Contact**: Project Maintainer (4darsh-Dev)
125+

126+
- Email: [Report via GitHub Issues](https://github.com/solve-ease/OptiBlogAi/issues) (for non-sensitive matters)
127+
128+
**For sensitive reports** (harassment, discrimination, etc.):
129+
- Use GitHub's private vulnerability reporting feature
130+
- Contact maintainers directly through private channels
131+
- If you're uncomfortable contacting project maintainers directly, you may report to GitHub Trust & Safety
132+
133+
### What to Include in a Report
134+
135+
When reporting an incident, please include:
136+

144+
145+
### Confidentiality
146+
147+
All reports will be handled with discretion and confidentiality. We will only share
148+
information about the incident with those who need to know in order to investigate
149+
and respond appropriately.
150+
151+
We will not retaliate against anyone who reports an incident in good faith, and we
152+
will not tolerate retaliation by community members.
153+
154+
## Enforcement
155+
156+
Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
157+
reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at the contact
158+
information listed above.
159+
160+
All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.

170+
### Enforcement Guidelines
171+
172+
Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining
173+
the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
174+
175+
#### 1. Correction
176+
177+
**Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
178+
unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
179+
180+
**Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing
181+
clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
182+
behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
183+
184+
#### 2. Warning
185+
186+
**Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series of
187+
actions.

189+
**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
190+
interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with
191+
those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This
192+
includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels
193+
like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or permanent

203+
private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
204+
with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
205+
Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
206+
207+
#### 4. Permanent Ban
208+
209+
**Community Impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
210+
standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior, harassment of an

**Consequence**: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within the
214+
community.
215+
216+
### Appeals Process
217+

If you believe you have been falsely or unfairly accused of violating this Code of
219+
Conduct, you may appeal the decision by:
220+
221+
1. **Submitting an appeal** within 30 days of the enforcement action
222+
2. **Providing additional context** or evidence that wasn't considered
223+
3. **Requesting review** by a different community leader (if possible)
224+
225+
Appeals should be sent to the same contact channels used for reporting, clearly
226+
marked as "Code of Conduct Appeal."
