# Code of Conduct
## Purpose
**Telemt exists to solve technical problems.**
Telemt is open to contributors who want to learn, improve and build meaningful systems together.
It is a place for building, testing, reasoning, documenting, and improving systems.
Discussions that advance this work are in scope. Discussions that divert it are not.
Technology has consequences. Responsibility is inherent.
> **Zweck bestimmt die Form.**
> Purpose defines form.
---
## Principles
* **Technical over emotional**
Arguments are grounded in data, logs, reproducible cases, or clear reasoning.
* **Clarity over noise**
Communication is structured, concise, and relevant.
* **Openness with standards**
Participation is open. The work remains disciplined.
* **Independence of judgment**
Claims are evaluated on technical merit, not affiliation or posture.
* **Responsibility over capability**
Capability does not justify careless use.
* **Cooperation over friction**
Progress depends on coordination, mutual support, and honest review.
* **Good intent, rigorous method**
Assume good intent, but require rigor.
> **Aussagen gelten nach ihrer Begründung.**
> Claims are weighed by evidence.
---
## Expected Behavior
Participants are expected to:
* Communicate directly and respectfully
* Support claims with evidence
* Stay within technical scope
* Accept critique and provide it constructively
* Reduce noise, duplication, and ambiguity
* Help others reach correct and reproducible outcomes
* Act in a way that improves the system as a whole
Precision is learned.
New contributors are welcome. They are expected to grow into these standards. Existing contributors are expected to make that growth possible.
> **Wer behauptet, belegt.**
> Whoever claims, proves.
---
## Unacceptable Behavior
The following is not allowed:
* Personal attacks, insults, harassment, or intimidation
* Repeatedly derailing discussion away from Telemts purpose
* Spam, flooding, or repeated low-quality input
* Misinformation presented as fact
* Attempts to degrade, destabilize, or exhaust Telemt or its participants
* Use of Telemt or its spaces to enable harm
Telemt is not a venue for disputes that displace technical work.
Such discussions may be closed, removed, or redirected.
> **Störung ist kein Beitrag.**
> Disruption is not contribution.
---
## Security and Misuse
Telemt is intended for responsible use.
* Do not use it to plan, coordinate, or execute harm
* Do not publish vulnerabilities without responsible disclosure
* Report security issues privately where possible
Security is both technical and behavioral.
> **Verantwortung endet nicht am Code.**
> Responsibility does not end at the code.
---
## 6. Openness
Telemt is open to contributors of different backgrounds, experience levels, and working styles.
- Standards are public, legible, and applied to the work itself.
- Questions are welcome. Careful disagreement is welcome. Honest correction is welcome.
- Gatekeeping by obscurity, status signaling, or hostility is not.
---
## Scope
This Code of Conduct applies to all official spaces:
* Source repositories (issues, pull requests, discussions)
* Documentation
* Communication channels associated with Telemt
---
## Maintainer Stewardship
Maintainers are responsible for final decisions in matters of conduct, scope, and direction.
This responsibility is stewardship:
- preserving continuity,
- protecting signal,
- maintaining standards,
- keeping Telemt workable for others.
Judgment should be exercised with restraint, consistency, and institutional responsibility.
- Not every decision requires extended debate.
- Not every intervention requires public explanation.
All decisions are expected to serve the durability, clarity, and integrity of Telemt.
> **Ordnung ist Voraussetzung der Funktion.**
> Order is the precondition of function.
---
## Enforcement
Maintainers may act to preserve the integrity of Telemt, including by:
* Removing content
* Locking discussions
* Rejecting contributions
* Restricting or banning participants
Actions are taken to maintain function, continuity, and signal quality.
- Where possible, correction is preferred to exclusion.
- Where necessary, exclusion is preferred to decay.
---
## Final
Telemt is built on discipline, structure, and shared intent.
- Signal over noise.
- Facts over opinion.
- Systems over rhetoric.
- Work is collective.
- Outcomes are shared.
- Responsibility is distributed.
- Precision is learned.
- Rigor is expected.
- Help is part of the work.
> **Ordnung ist Voraussetzung der Freiheit.**
- If you contribute — contribute with care.
- If you speak — speak with substance.
- If you engage — engage constructively.
---
## After All
Systems outlive intentions.
- What is built will be used.
- What is released will propagate.
- What is maintained will define the future state.
There is no neutral infrastructure, only infrastructure shaped well or poorly.
> **Jedes System trägt Verantwortung.**
> Every system carries responsibility.
- Stability requires discipline.
- Freedom requires structure.
- Trust requires honesty.
In the end: the system reflects its contributors.
