This Code of Conduct is our way to encourage good behavior and discourage bad behavior in our platform. We invite participation from many people to bring different perspectives to our platform. We will do our part to foster a welcoming and professional environment free of harassment. We expect participants to communicate professionally and thoughtfully during their involvement with this platform.

Participants may lose their good standing by engaging in misconduct. For example: insulting, threatening, or conveying unwelcome sexual content. We ask participants who observe conduct issues to report the incident directly to the Response Team at support@sportsonair.world. Sports On Air will assign a respondent to address the issue.

This code does not replace the terms of service or acceptable use policies of the websites used to support this platform. We acknowledge that participants may be subject to additional conduct terms based on their engagement which may govern their online expressions. Details

This Code of Conduct makes our expectations of participants in this community explicit.
We forbid harassment and abusive speech within this community.
We request participants to report misconduct to the Response Team.
We urge participants to refrain from using discussion forums to play out a fight.

Expected Behaviors
We expect participants in this community to conduct themselves professionally. Since our primary mode of communication is text on an digital medium (e.g. posts, comments, emails, or chats) devoid of vocal tone, gestures, or other context that is often vital to understanding, it is important that participants are attentive to their interaction style.
Assume positive intent. We ask community members to assume positive intent on the part of other people's communications. We may disagree on details, but we expect all suggestions to be supportive of the community goals.
Respect participants. We expect occasional disagreements. Different mediums on platform are learning experiences. Ask, explore, challenge, and then respectfully state if you agree or disagree. If your idea is rejected, be more persuasive not bitter.
Welcoming to new members. New members bring new perspectives. Some ask questions that have been addressed before. Kindly point to existing discussions. Everyone is new to every platform once.
Be kind to beginners. Beginners use platform to get experience. They might not be that much aware, and others should not accept offensive gestures. But we were all beginners once, and we need to engage kindly.
Consider your impact on others. Your work will be used by others, and you depend on the work of others. We expect community members to be considerate and establish a balance their self-interest with communal interest.
Use words carefully. We may not understand intent when you say something ironic. Often, people will misinterpret sarcasm in online communications. We ask community members to communicate plainly.

Reporting Issues
If you experience or witness misconduct, or have any other concerns about the conduct of members of this platform, please report it by contacting our Response Team at support@sportsonair.world who will handle your report with discretion. Your report should include:
Your preferred contact information. We cannot process anonymous reports.
Names (real or usernames) of those involved in the incident.
Your account of what occurred, and if the incident is ongoing. Please provide links to or transcripts of the publicly available records (e.g. a mailing list archive or a public IRC logger), so that we can review it.
Any additional information that may be helpful to achieve resolution.

After filing a report, a representative will contact you directly to review the incident and ask additional questions. If a member of the Sports On Air Response Team is named in an incident report, that member will be recused from handling your incident. If the complaint originates from a member of the Response Team, it will be addressed by a different member of the Response Team. We will consider reports to be confidential for the purpose of protecting victims of abuse. Scope
