PhotoPrism® Code of Conduct
By using the software and services we provide, you agree to our Terms of Service, including our Privacy Policy and the following Code of Conduct. It explains the "dos and don’ts" when interacting with other community members.
Last Updated: June 4, 2022
Preamble
The Internet is huge, and you inevitably run into people who don't show respect (even if they're nice when you meet them in person), who occasionally have a bad day, or who have simply had too much coffee. Except in the last case, which can be solved by having a smaller cup, it's best to save everyone's time and politely let them know that this is not the right community for them
Rules
Because we want our Code of Conduct to be easy to understand and implement, we have only three basic rules:
(1) Don't panic.
(2) Be respectful, be responsible, be kind.
(3) Don’t feed the trolls.
Examples
The following non-exhaustive list provides specific guidelines and examples:
(a) Do not feel entitled to free software, support, or advice, especially if you are not a contributor, sponsor, or paying customer. Don't ask contributors to report to you and meet deadlines as if they work for you or owe you something.
(b) Read the docs and determine the cause of your problem before opening invalid bug reports, starting a public "shitstorm" or insulting other community members in our chat rooms. Aside from being annoying for everyone, it also keeps our team from working on features and improvements that users like you are waiting for.
(c) 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 to us.
Enforcement
Violations may be punished with a snarky comment and finally a *plonk*1, meaning you will be ignored according to Rule #3.

Plonk stands for the metaphorical sound of a user hitting the bottom of the kill file. It was first used in Usenet forums, a worldwide distributed discussion system and precursor to the Web. ↩︎
