Gitvlg.com — Community Code of Conduct

Important Notice

Short Version

Be a respectful and welcoming person. You know how in some communities there's always "that person" everyone talks about? Don't be that person. Act with empathy, treat others as you would like to be treated, and contribute to a positive environment for all.
