Avoid personal attributions or speculation about +motives. +- Stay evidence-based. Include references from reliable sources. Limit hypotheticals +to a minimum. +- Limit repetition and escalation. Do not restate points without adding references +from new reliable sources. +- Avoid dominating the discussion. This may include limiting posts to no more than +1-2 per day or refraining from replying separately to every post in a thread. +- [NumPy Code of Conduct](https://numpy.org/code-of-conduct) applies at all times. +This includes tone, language, and behavior. + +If the NumPy community moderators determine that a participant is not adhering to +the principles above, they will reach out to the participant with a polite request +for the behavior to be adjusted. If the behavior continues, moderators may consider +additional steps as appropriate. ## Study Groups and Meetups
