# Code of Conduct ## Rules ## To keep it simple, we only have three basic rules: 1. Don't panic 2. Don't be evil 3. Don’t feed the trolls ## Examples ## The following non-exhaustive list provides specific guidelines and examples: - be respectful, be responsible, be kind - avoid asking for [deadlines](https://docs.photoprism.app/developer-guide/code-quality/#go-slow-before-you-go-fast) - don't feel entitled to free support, advice, or features if you are not a [contributor](https://docs.photoprism.app/developer-guide/), [sponsor](https://docs.photoprism.app/funding/), or paying customer - before reporting a bug, try to [determine the cause of your problem](https://docs.photoprism.app/getting-started/troubleshooting/) - if you have a [general question](https://link.photoprism.app/discussions) or need [technical support](https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/#getting-support), don't use GitHub Issues - if you are having a bad day and want to offend someone, please go somewhere else ## Reporting ## We encourage all community members to resolve problems on their own whenever possible. Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be [reported](https://photoprism.app/contact) to us. ## Enforcement ## Any violation may be punished with a snarky comment and finally a "plonk", which means that we ignore you according to rule #3.
