 38  
 39  ## Enforcement Responsibilities
 40  
 41  Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
 42  acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
 43  response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive,
 44  or harmful.
 45  
 46  Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
 47  comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
 48  not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
 49  decisions when appropriate.
 50  
 51  ## Scope
 52  
 53  This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
 54  an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
 55  Examples of representing our community include using an official e-mail address,
 56  posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
 57  representative at an online or offline event.
 58  
 59  ## Enforcement
 60  
 61  Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
 62  reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement in the #support channel of the [Aave Discord](https://discord.com/invite/CvKUrqM).
 63  All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
 64  
 65  All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
 66  reporter of any incident.
 67  
 68  ## Enforcement Guidelines
 69  
 70  Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining
 71  the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:

 75  **Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
 76  unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.

 82  ### 2. Warning
 83  
 84  **Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series
 85  of actions.
 86  
 87  **Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
