Community Guidelines

Thank you for your interest in the cod-stats-parser project! These guidelines outline our expectations for community interactions and contributions. Please read them carefully to help foster a welcoming and collaborative environment.

1. Purpose of This Repository

  • Primary Goal: This GitHub repository serves as a central place to develop, maintain, and discuss improvements for the cod-stats-parser application.
  • Audience: While this is a company repo, it is publicly available, allowing more people to view and potentially contribute.
  • Scope: We welcome suggestions, bug reports, feature requests, and pull requests that help make this tool more robust and user-friendly.

2. Code of Conduct

We adhere to a few core principles to keep our community respectful and inclusive:

  • Respect: Treat fellow community members with kindness, empathy, and courtesy.
  • Constructive Feedback: Provide feedback that is specific, actionable, and helpful. Critique the idea, not the person.
  • Inclusivity: Embrace diversity in skill levels, backgrounds, and perspectives. Discrimination or harassment is not tolerated.
  • No Harassment: Examples of unacceptable behavior include, but are not limited to, offensive comments or personal attacks, threats of violence, and unwelcome sexual attention.

If you experience or witness any behavior that violates these principles, please open an issue or contact the repository maintainers directly.
