{{Ambox|type=content|text=These guidelines outline expectations for behavior within the Pumping Station: One community. They are intended to supplement, but do not replace, the [[Membership Agreement]]. This document is created and maintained by the community and is not legally binding. Feedback, suggestions, and discussion are welcome at [https://discord.com/channels/1270929620224704544/1316781079298052181 #governance] on Discord.}} |

Assume good intent, but own your impact. If someone tells you something was hurtful, the intent doesn't erase the effect. |
|||
Don't gatekeep. Don't make people feel like they don't belong because of their skill level, tools, background, or approach. |
|||
Pumping Station: One (PS:One) is committed to providing a welcoming and harassment-free environment for people regardless of level of experience, level of ability, level of interest, gender, gender expression, sexuality, age, race, creed, color, origin, or personal experience. We believe in having a set of guidelines for individuals while at PS:One or in PS:One online environments. |
|||
Ask before helping. Unsolicited advice or grabbing someone's keyboard/tools can be unwelcome. Offer, don't impose. |
|||
Members, guests, and visitors are responsible for their own actions and belongings, are expected to leave the space cleaner than they found it, and contribute to a culture of safety. All persons must have a [https://app.waiverforever.com/pending/PMdbLqcKFq1491518230 liability form filled out] in advance and those under the age of 18 are not to be on the premises without a parent or legal guardian present. |
|||
Share the space. Be aware of noise, mess, and how your project affects others around you. Ask before playing music on shared speakers, or taking up table space. |
|||
# '''Respect and Inclusivity:''' Treat all individuals with respect and foster a welcoming, inclusive environment for everyone. Discrimination, harassment, or hate speech of any kind will not be tolerated. |
|||
# '''Safety:''' Always prioritize safety. Follow posted safety procedures and guidelines when using tools and equipment. Report any unsafe conditions or behaviors. |
|||
# '''Use of Facilities:''' Respect the space and resources provided by PS1. Clean up after yourself, return tools to their proper places, and use equipment responsibly. |
|||
# '''Personal Responsibility:''' Take responsibility for your own actions. If you cause damage or break something, report it immediately and help resolve the issue. |
|||
Respect others' stuff. Don't move, borrow, or use someone else's project, tools, or materials without asking. If something looks abandoned, check before claiming it. |
|||
Violation of this Code of Conduct may result in action taken by the Board of Directors or their designee, including but not limited to: |
|||
Don't demand education. If someone tells you something was harmful, it's not their job to teach you why. Do your own learning. Asking someone to justify their experience puts the burden on them and derails from addressing the harm. |
|||
* Suspension or termination of membership |
|||
* Other disciplinary action deemed necessary based on the severity of the violation |
|||
Ask before recording—and respect "no." Photos, video, and audio recording are common at a hackerspace, but not everyone wants to be captured. Before taking photos or video that include other people, ask. |

# Disregard for personal and others safety. |
