Enforcement Responsibilities

Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying and enforcing standards of acceptable behavior. They have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that do not align with this Code of Conduct. Maintainers will communicate reasons for moderation decisions when appropriate.

Scope

This Code of Conduct applies within all project spaces, including the GitHub repository, issue tracker, pull requests, discussions, and any other communication channels associated with Flare CMS. It also applies when an individual is officially representing the project in public spaces, such as using an official project email address or acting as an appointed representative at an event.

Enforcement

Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported to the project maintainers by opening an issue on GitHub or contacting the maintainers directly. All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly. Maintainers are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the reporter.

Maintainers will follow these guidelines in determining consequences for actions that violate this Code of Conduct:

1. Correction
