 # Linstrom Code of Conduct
 
-The Linstrom project aims to be **enjoyable** for anyone to participate in, regardless of their identity or level of expertise. To achieve this, the community must create an environment which is **safe** and **equitable**; the following guidelines have been created with these goals in mind.

+the community must create an environment which is **safe** and **equitable**;
+the following guidelines have been created with these goals in mind.
 
-1. **This is not a professional space.** Individuality is not only welcome, but encouraged. Professionalism asks marginalized individuals to censor themselves, and perform their identity in an inauthentic, unchallenging manner, which caters solely to those in power (namely rich, white, cisgender, heterosexual men). Seeking professionalism is *antithetical* to the goal of equity, and thus, these guidelines reject it.

-5. **Let people grow from their mistakes.** Nobody is perfect; even the most well-meaning individual can do something hurtful. Everyone should be given a fair opportunity to explain themselves and correct their behaviour. Portraying someone as inherently malicious prevents improvement and shifts focus away from the *action* that was problematic.

+   something that _looks_ believable, not something that is actually real.
+   Thus, AI generated content will be treated as such. In small amounts
+   it might be fine, for example for generating boilerplate code or explaining
+   something in different words. Anything more? It will be treated as theft,
+   even if the original authors are unknown.
