  • Ask questions when assumptions are unclear.
  • Accept review feedback in good faith and respond with evidence.
  • Keep scientific claims precise and proportionate to the evidence.

Examples of unacceptable behavior:

  • Harassment, intimidation, or personal attacks.
  • Discriminatory or exclusionary language.
  • Sexualized language or unwanted attention.
  • Deliberate misrepresentation of results, data, or contributor intent.
  • Bad-faith review behavior, including hostile pile-ons or repeated personal escalation.

Scope

This code of conduct applies in project issues, pull requests, discussions, documentation reviews, and other public spaces associated with the repository.

Reporting

If you experience or witness unacceptable behavior, contact the maintainer at eneskemalergin@gmail.com. Include links or screenshots when possible so the report can be evaluated quickly.

Enforcement

The maintainer may remove comments, close discussions, reject contributions, or block participation when conduct violates this policy.
