+# The Veloren Code of Conduct
+
+**Contact**: `@Admin` or `@Core developers` on discord or [info@veloren.net](mailto:info@veloren.net)
+
+## Conduct
+
+- We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for
+  all, regardless of level of experience, gender identity and expression, sexual
+  orientation, disability, personal appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age,
+  religion, nationality, or other similar characteristics.
+- Please be kind and courteous. There's no need to be rude.
+- We will exclude you from interaction if you insult, demean or harass anyone.
+  That is not welcome behavior; we strive to be inclusive. In particular, we
+  don't tolerate behavior that excludes people in socially marginalized groups.
+- If you feel beeing harassed or made uncomfortable, please **contact** us.
+  Whether you're a regular contributor or a newcomer, we care about making this 
+  community a safe place for you and we've got your back. If the offender was 
+  an admin or core developer, use [report@veloren.net](mailto:report@veloren.net).
+- Respect that people have differences of opinion and that every design or
+  implementation choice carries a trade-off and numerous costs. There is seldom
+  a right answer.
+- Please keep unstructured critique to a minimum. If you have solid ideas you
+  want to experiment with, make a branch and see how it works.
+- This community exists to focus on Veloren, keep off-topic content to the 
+  respective channels.
+
+## Moderation
+
+These are the policies for upholding our community's standards of conduct. If
+you feel that a thread needs moderation, please **contact** us.
+
+1. Any remarks that violate the Veloren standards of conduct, are not allowed
+   and will result in a ban.
+2. Remarks that moderators find inappropriate, whether listed in the code of
+   conduct or not, are also not allowed.
+   In this case moderators will respond with a warning, kick, ban scheme if
+   the user continues to make trouble.
+3. Moderators may choose at their discretion to un-ban the user if it was a
+   first offence, and they offer the offended party a genuine apology.
+4. If a moderator bans someone, and you think it was unjustified, please take it
+   up with that moderator, or with a different moderator, **in private**.
+   Complaints about bans are not allowd on our public channels.
+5. Moderators, organization members, and anyone closely involved with the
+   Veloren project are held to a higher standard than other community members.
+   If a moderator creates an inappropriate situation, they should expect less
+   leeway than others.
+
+In the Veloren community we strive to go the extra step to look out for each
+other. Don't just aim to be technically unimpeachable, try to be your best self.
+In particular, avoid flirting with offensive or sensitive issues, particularly
+if they're off-topic; this all too often leads to unnecessary fights, hurt
+feelings, and damaged trust; worse, it can drive people away from the community
+entirely.
+
+If someone takes issue with something you said or did, resist the urge to be
+defensive. Just stop doing what it was they complained about and apologize. Even
+if you feel you were misinterpreted or unfairly accused, chances are good there
+was something you could've communicated better — remember that it's your
+responsibility to make your fellow Veloren community members comfortable.
+Everyone wants to get along and we are all here first and foremost because we
+want to talk about making games. You will find that people will be eager to
+assume good intent and forgive as long as you earn their trust.
+
+The enforcement policies listed above apply to all official Veloren venues;
+including all Veloren Discord channels; in-game chat; Gitlab and GitHub repositories under
+Veloren; and any other social media platforms related to Veloren.
+
+This Code of Conduct is based on the Amethyst Code of Conduct, available
+[here](https://github.com/amethyst/amethyst/blob/master/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md)
+which is based on the Rust Code of Conduct, available
+[here](https://www.rust-lang.org/conduct.html).
