If an investigation by the Response Team finds that this Code of Conduct has been violated, the following enforcement ladder may be used to determine how best to repair harm, based on the incident's impact on the individuals involved and the community as a whole. Depending on the severity of a violation, lower rungs on the ladder may be skipped.

1. Warning
* Event: A violation involving a single incident or series of incidents.
* Consequence: A private, written warning from the Response Team.
* Repair: Examples of repair include a private written apology, acknowledgement of responsibility, and seeking clarification on expectations.
* Event: A violation involving a single incident or series of incidents.
* Consequence: A private, written warning from the Response Team.
* Repair: Examples of repair include a private written apology, acknowledgement of responsibility, and seeking clarification on expectations.

2. Temporarily Limited Activities
* Event: A repeated incidence of a violation that previously resulted in a warning, or the first incidence of a more serious violation.
* Consequence: A private, written warning with a time-limited cooldown period designed to underscore the seriousness of the situation and give the community members involved time to process the incident. The cooldown period may be limited to particular communication channels or interactions with particular community members.
* Repair: Examples of repair may include making an apology, using the cooldown period to reflect on actions and impact, and being thoughtful about re-entering community spaces after the period is over.

3. Temporary Suspension
* Event: A pattern of repeated violation which the Response Team has tried to address with warnings, or a single serious violation.
* Consequence: A private written warning with conditions for return from suspension. In general, temporary suspensions give the person being suspended time to reflect upon their behavior and possible corrective actions. Suspensions will be based on where the violation occurs, and may be limited to the space in which the violation occurs. In the event of a more serious violation, the suspension may apply to all spaces.
* Repair: Examples of repair include respecting the spirit of the suspension, meeting the specified conditions for return, and being thoughtful about how to reintegrate with the community when the suspension is lifted.

4. Permanent Ban
* Event: A pattern of repeated code of conduct violations that other steps on the ladder have failed to resolve, or a violation so serious that the Response Team determines there is no way to keep the community safe with this person as a member.
* Consequence: Access to all community spaces, tools, and communication channels is removed. In general, permanent bans should be rarely used, should have strong reasoning behind them, and should only be resorted to if working through other remedies has failed to change the behavior.
* Repair: There is no possible repair in cases of this severity.

This enforcement ladder is intended as a guideline. It does not limit the ability of Community Managers to use their discretion and judgment, in keeping with the best interests of our community.
