This community is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone. We do not tolerate harassment of participants in any form.
All participants in the Cribl User Community are subject to these rules. These rules are enforced by Cribl employees/administrators, aka the Cribl team. (Cribl employees include the word “cribl” in their usernames so you can identify them.)
Applicability and scope
This code of conduct applies to all Cribl Community spaces and public channels, private channels, and direct messages, both online and off, as well as all Cribl-sponsored in-person events, including user group events and user conferences. When you register for any Cribl-sponsored event, you agree to comply with all rules and requirements provided by venues hosting Cribl-sponsored in-person events. Anyone who violates this code of conduct may be sanctioned or expelled from these spaces at the discretion of the Cribl team.
Creating a welcoming and safe environment
We hope to create an environment in which diverse individuals can collaborate and interact in a positive and affirming way. Examples of behavior that contributes to creating this sort of environment include:
- Using welcoming and inclusive language
- Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
- Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
- Focusing on what is best for the overall community
- Showing empathy towards other community members
What we mean when we say “harassment”
The Cribl community will not tolerate harassment of any kind. Examples of harassment include:
- Offensive comments or use of intimidating imagery or symbols related to a person’s identity, including: gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, neuro(a)typicality, physical appearance, pregnancy status, veteran status, political affiliation, marital status, body size, age, race, color, disability, national origin, ethnic origin, nationality, immigration status, language, religion or lack thereof, socioeconomic status, or other identity marker.
- Unwelcome comments regarding a person’s lifestyle choices and practices, including those related to food, health, parenting, relationships, drugs, and employment.
- Deliberate misgendering, using inappropriate pronouns, or use of “dead” or rejected names.
- Gratuitous or off-topic sexual images or behavior in spaces where they’re not appropriate.
- Physical contact and simulated physical contact (eg, textual descriptions like “hug” or “backrub”) without consent or after a request to stop.
- Ongoing application of emoji of any kind to a member of the community’s postings after a request to stop.
- Threats of violence.
- Incitement of violence towards any individual or group, including encouraging a person to commit suicide or to engage in self-harm.
- Deliberate intimidation.
- Stalking or following – online or in the physical world.
- Harassing photography or recording, including logging online activity for harassment purposes.
- Sustained disruption of discussion.
- Unwelcome sexual attention.
- Patterns of inappropriate social contact, such as requesting/assuming inappropriate levels of intimacy with others.
- Continued one-on-one communication after requests to cease.
- Deliberate “outing” of any aspect of a person’s identity, as mentioned above, without their consent except as necessary to protect vulnerable people from intentional abuse.
- Publication of non-harassing private communication.
- Jokes that resemble the above, such as “hipster racism”, still count as harassment even if meant satirically or ironically.
If you have questions or concerns about these rules, message a Cribl employee or email community@cribl.io.
How to report an issue
If you are being harassed by a member of our community, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please notify a Cribl employee via Direct Message.
Note: If the person who is harassing you is a Cribl employee, they will not be involved in handling or resolving the incident.
The Cribl team will respond to any complaint as promptly as we can. If you do not get a timely response (for example, if no Cribl employees are currently online) then please put your personal safety and well-being first, and consider logging out and/or contacting us by email at community@cribl.io.
This code of conduct applies to our community’s spaces, but if you are being harassed by a member of our community outside our spaces, we still want to know about it. We will take all good-faith reports of harassment by our members seriously. This includes harassment outside our spaces and harassment that took place at any point in time. The Cribl team reserves the right to exclude people from the Cribl community based on their past behavior, including behavior outside of our spaces and behavior towards people who are not in this community.
In order to protect admins from abuse and burnout, we reserve the right to reject any report we believe to have been made in bad faith. Reports intended to silence legitimate criticism may be deleted or ignored without response.
How we will enforce these rules
Every code of conduct violation report will be treated with seriousness and care. If a member’s immediate safety and security is threatened, an individual Cribl employee may take any action that they deem appropriate, up to and including temporarily banning the offender from the Cribl community. In less immediate situations, at least two Cribl employees will discuss the offense and mutually arrive at a suitable response, which will be shared with the offender privately. Whatever the resolution that they decide upon, which may include permanent expulsion of the community member, the decision of the Cribl employees involved in a violation case will be considered final.
We will respect confidentiality requests for the purpose of protecting victims of abuse. At our discretion, we may publicly name a person about whom we’ve received harassment complaints, or privately warn third parties about them, if we believe that doing so will increase the safety of our members or the general public. We will not name harassment victims without their affirmative consent.
Consequences
Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. If a participant engages in harassing behavior, we may take any action they deem appropriate, up to and including permanent expulsion from the Cribl community and identification of the participant as a harasser to other members. At the discretion of the Cribl team or by request, one or more of the parties involved may request to discuss the violation and how to avoid similar situations in the future.
