Our Pledge

Pusher is dedicated to providing a safe, inclusive, welcoming, and harassment-free environment where everyone regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, colour, religion, or sexual identity and orientation within the community can learn together

We pledge to act and interact with each other in a way that promotes a welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.

Our Standards

Whether you are making submissions to Pusher’s Demo App Gallery, attending a Pusher Sessions event online or offline, taking part in discussions in our community spaces such as the Pusher Community Discord or Twitch Channel, or communicating one-on-one with other community members, you agree to abide by the following rules outlined in this Code of Conduct.

We will not tolerate the following:

  • Violent threats or language
  • Discriminatory or derogatory jokes and language relating to gender identity and expression, sexuality, disability, physical appearance, socioeconomic status, educational background and level of experience, ethnicity, nationality, age, lifestyle choices, and religious affiliation
  • Disrespecting people's stated pronouns and gender identity, or current name
  • Posting sexually explicit or violent material
  • Posting, or threatening to post, of any aspect of a person’s identity or communication history without their consent
  • Insults, especially those using discriminatory terms or slurs
  • Behaviour that could be perceived — in any way — as sexual attention
  • Excessive and/or sustained, uninvited disruption, communication or harassment — either in public channels/social platforms or private conversations
  • Advocating for or encouraging any of the above behaviours
  • Other conduct which could reasonably considered inappropriate in a professional setting - this is not an exhaustive list.

Scope

This Code of Conduct applies to all Pusher Community spaces and events, but if you are being or have been harassed by a Pusher Community participant externally, you may still report to the Pusher Community moderators. We will take all good-faith reports of harassment by community participants seriously. Our moderators reserve the right to exclude people from the Pusher Community and/or Pusher events based on any behaviour towards community participants or non-participants, including behaviour which took place outside of Pusher Community spaces. Our Community Moderators are not required to give an explanation...

Enforcement

Our Pusher Community Moderators

You may contact any of our community moderators to report a Code of Conduct violation. All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.

All community moderators are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the reporter of any incident.

Enforcement Guidelines

Community moderators will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:

Our Pledge

Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of acceptable behaviour and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any behaviour that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.

Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, messages, commits, questions and other contributions that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation decisions if they deem it to be appropriate.

Some Pusher Community spaces may have additional rules in place, which are posted publicly for participants. Participants are responsible for knowing and abiding by these rules. We invite all those who participate in the Pusher Community to help us create safe, welcoming and positive community experiences.
