Code of Conduct

Wurstmineberg is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender and its expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, race, class, or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of participants in any form. This code of conduct applies to all Wurstmineberg spaces, including our blog, Discord, Minecraft worlds, Twitter account, and wiki, as well as any other spaces that Wurstmineberg hosts. Anyone who violates this code of conduct may be sanctioned or expelled from these spaces at the discretion of the Wurstmineberg Anti-Abuse Team.

Definitions

Harassment includes:

• Offensive comments and derogative language related to gender and its expression, sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, neuro(a)typicality, physical appearance, race, class, or religion (eg. “that's what she said” jokes, “your mama” jokes, “you're/that's crazy”, “oops, i'm blind”, “that's sooo gay”)
• Unwelcome comments regarding a person's lifestyle choices and practices, including those related to food, health, parenting, drugs, and employment
• Deliberate misgendering or use of ‘dead’ or rejected names
• Gratuitous or off-topic sexual images or behaviour in spaces where they're not appropriate
• Physical contact and simulated physical contact (eg, textual descriptions like “hug” or “backrub”) without consent or after a request to stop
• Threats of violence
• Incitement of violence towards any individual, including encouraging a person to commit suicide or to engage in self-harm
• Deliberate intimidation
• Stalking or following
• Harassing photography or recording, including logging online activity for harassment purposes
• Sustained disruption of discussion
• Unwelcome sexual attention
• Pattern of inappropriate social contact, such as requesting/assuming inappropriate levels of intimacy with others
• Continued one-on-one communication after requests to cease
• Deliberate “outing” of any aspect of a person's identity without their consent except as necessary to protect other Wurstmineberg members or other vulnerable people from intentional abuse
• Publication of non-harassing private communication

The Wurstmineberg community prioritizes marginalized people's safety over privileged people's comfort. The Wurstmineberg Anti-Abuse Team will not act on complaints regarding:

• ‘Reverse’ -isms, including ‘reverse racism,’ ‘reverse sexism,’ and ‘cisphobia’ (because these things don’t exist)
• Reasonable communication of boundaries, such as “leave me alone,” “go away,” or “I’m not discussing this with you.”
• Refusal to explain or debate social justice concepts
• Communicating irritation or anger about harassment in a ‘tone’ you don't find congenial
• Criticizing racist, sexist, cissexist, or otherwise oppressive behavior or assumptions

Reporting

If you are being harassed by a member of the Wurstmineberg community, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of the Wurstmineberg Anti-Abuse Team via Discord DM or email. If the person who is harassing you is on the team, they will recuse themselves from handling your incident. We will respond as promptly as we can. You can report via other means than Discord DM, but Discord DM is preferred. We will respond as promptly as we can.

Anti-Abuse Team

The current Anti-Abuse Team is:

• @gingenya

We are looking for one or two additional server members who would like to help out. If you are interested, let us know in Discord.

Jurisdiction

This code of conduct applies to spaces belonging to the Wurstmineberg infrastructure, but if you or someone else are being harassed by a member of the Wurstmineberg community outside our spaces, you can still report it. We will take all good-faith reports of harassment by Wurstmineberg community members seriously. This includes harassment outside our spaces and harassment that took place at any point in time. The Wurstmineberg Anti-Abuse Team reserves the right to exclude people from the Wurstmineberg community based on their past behavior, including behavior outside Wurstmineberg spaces and behavior towards people who are not in the Wurstmineberg community.

In order to protect volunteers from abuse and burnout, we reserve the right to reject any report we believe to have been made in bad faith. The Wurstmineberg Anti-Abuse Team is not here to explain power differentials or other basic social justice concepts to you. Reports intended to silence legitimate criticism may be deleted without response.

Confidentiality

We will respect confidentiality requests for the purpose of protecting victims of abuse. At our discretion, we may publicly name a person about whom we’ve received harassment complaints, or privately warn third parties about them, if we believe that doing so will increase the safety of Wurstmineberg members or the general public. We will not name harassment victims without their affirmative consent. If you report abuse to any member of the Anti-Abuse Team, they will share this report with all other members unless you explicitly ask them not to.

Consequences

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the Wurstmineberg Anti-Abuse Team may take any action they deem appropriate, up to and including expulsion from all Wurstmineberg spaces and identification of the participant as a harasser to other Wurstmineberg members or the general public.
