-
-О случаях домогательства, а так же оскорбительного или иного другого неприемлемого
-поведения можно сообщить ответственным лидерам сообщества с помощью письма на info@victoriametrics.com
-Все жалобы будут рассмотрены и расследованы оперативно и беспристрастно.
-
-Все лидеры сообщества обязаны уважать неприкосновенность частной жизни и личную
-неприкосновенность автора сообщения.
-
-## Руководство по исполнению
-
-Лидеры сообщества будут следовать следующим Принципам Воздействия в Сообществе,
-чтобы определить последствия для тех, кого они считают виновными в нарушении данного Кодекса Поведения:
-
-### 1. Исправление
-
-**Общественное влияние**: Использование недопустимой лексики или другое поведение,
-считающиеся непрофессиональным или нежелательным в сообществе.
-
-**Последствия**: Личное, письменное предупреждение от лидеров сообщества,
-объясняющее суть нарушения и почему такое поведение
-было неуместно. Лидеры сообщества могут попросить принести публичное извинение.
-
-### 2. Предупреждение
-
-**Общественное влияние**: Нарушение в результате одного инцидента или серии действий.
-
-**Последствия**: Предупреждение о последствиях в случае продолжающегося неуместного поведения.
-На определенное время не допускается взаимодействие с людьми, вовлеченными в инцидент,
-включая незапрошенное взаимодействие
-с теми, кто обеспечивает соблюдение Кодекса. Это включает в себя избегание взаимодействия
-в публичных пространствах, а так же во внешних каналах,
-таких как социальные сети. Нарушение этих правил влечет за собой временный или вечный бан.
-
-### 3. Временный бан
-
-**Общественное влияние**: Серьёзное нарушение стандартов сообщества,
-включая продолжительное неуместное поведение.
-
-**Последствия**: Временный запрет (бан) на любое взаимодействие
-или публичное общение с сообществом на определенный период времени.
-На этот период не допускается публичное или личное взаимодействие с людьми,
-вовлеченными в инцидент, включая незапрошенное взаимодействие
-с теми, кто обеспечивает соблюдение Кодекса.
-Нарушение этих правил влечет за собой вечный бан.
-
-### 4. Вечный бан
-
-**Общественное влияние**: Демонстрация систематических нарушений стандартов сообщества,
-включая продолжающееся неуместное поведение, домогательство до отдельных лиц,
-или проявление агрессии либо пренебрежительного отношения к категориям лиц.
-
-**Последствия**: Вечный запрет на любое публичное взаимодействие с сообществом.
