+# Rclone Code of Conduct
+
+Like the technical community as a whole, the Rclone team and community
+is made up of a mixture of professionals and volunteers from all over
+the world, working on every aspect of the mission - including
+mentorship, teaching, and connecting people.
+
+Diversity is one of our huge strengths, but it can also lead to
+communication issues and unhappiness. To that end, we have a few
+ground rules that we ask people to adhere to. This code applies
+equally to founders, mentors and those seeking help and guidance.
+
+This isn't an exhaustive list of things that you can't do. Rather,
+take it in the spirit in which it's intended - a guide to make it
+easier to enrich all of us and the technical communities in which we
+participate.
+
+This code of conduct applies to all spaces managed by the Rclone
+project or Rclone Services Ltd. This includes the issue tracker, the
+forum, the GitHub site, the wiki, any other online services or
+in-person events. In addition, violations of this code outside these
+spaces may affect a person's ability to participate within them.
+
+- **Be friendly and patient.**
+- **Be welcoming.** We strive to be a community that welcomes and
+  supports people of all backgrounds and identities. This includes,
+  but is not limited to members of any race, ethnicity, culture,
+  national origin, colour, immigration status, social and economic
+  class, educational level, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity
+  and expression, age, size, family status, political belief,
+  religion, and mental and physical ability.
+- **Be considerate.** Your work will be used by other people, and you
+  in turn will depend on the work of others. Any decision you take
+  will affect users and colleagues, and you should take those
+  consequences into account when making decisions. Remember that we're
+  a world-wide community, so you might not be communicating in someone
+  else's primary language.
+- **Be respectful.** Not all of us will agree all the time, but
+  disagreement is no excuse for poor behavior and poor manners. We
+  might all experience some frustration now and then, but we cannot
+  allow that frustration to turn into a personal attack. It's
+  important to remember that a community where people feel
+  uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one. Members of the
+  Rclone community should be respectful when dealing with other
+  members as well as with people outside the Rclone community.
+- **Be careful in the words that you choose.** We are a community of
+  professionals, and we conduct ourselves professionally. Be kind to
+  others. Do not insult or put down other participants. Harassment and
+  other exclusionary behavior aren't acceptable. This includes, but is
+  not limited to:
+  - Violent threats or language directed against another person.
+  - Discriminatory jokes and language.
+  - Posting sexually explicit or violent material.
+  - Posting (or threatening to post) other people's personally
+    identifying information ("doxing").
+  - Personal insults, especially those using racist or sexist terms.
+  - Unwelcome sexual attention.
+  - Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above behavior.
+  - Repeated harassment of others. In general, if someone asks you to
+    stop, then stop.
+- **When we disagree, try to understand why.** Disagreements, both
+  social and technical, happen all the time and Rclone is no
+  exception. It is important that we resolve disagreements and
+  differing views constructively. Remember that we're different. The
+  strength of Rclone comes from its varied community, people from a
+  wide range of backgrounds. Different people have different
+  perspectives on issues. Being unable to understand why someone holds
+  a viewpoint doesn't mean that they're wrong. Don't forget that it is
+  human to err and blaming each other doesn't get us anywhere.
+  Instead, focus on helping to resolve issues and learning from
+  mistakes.
+
+If you believe someone is violating the code of conduct, we ask that
+you report it by emailing [info@rclone.com](mailto:info@rclone.com).
