+# The A-Frame Code of Conduct
+
+Adapted from the [Rust Code of Conduct](https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/conduct.html).
+
+## Conduct
+
+- We are committed to providing a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for
+  all, regardless of level of experience, gender, gender identity and expression,
+  sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance, body size, race,
+  ethnicity, age, religion, nationality, or other similar characteristic.
+- On Slack, please avoid using overtly sexual nicknames or other nicknames that
+  might detract from a friendly, safe and welcoming environment for all.
+- Please be kind and courteous. There's no need to be mean or rude.
+- Respect that people have differences of opinion and that every design or
+  implementation choice carries a trade-off and numerous costs. There is seldom
+  a right answer.
+- Please keep unstructured critique to a minimum. If you have solid ideas you
+  want to experiment with, make a fork and see how it works.
+- We will exclude you from interaction if you insult, demean or harass anyone.
+  That is not welcome behaviour. We interpret the term
+  "harassment" as including the definition in the [Citizen Code of
+  Conduct](http://citizencodeofconduct.org/); if you have any lack of clarity
+  about what might be included in that concept, please read their definition. In
+  particular, we don't tolerate behavior that excludes people in socially
+  marginalized groups.
+- Private harassment is also unacceptable. No matter who you are, if you feel
+  you have been or are being harassed or made uncomfortable by a community
+  member, please contact one of the channel ops or any of the A-Frame moderation
+  team immediately. Whether you're a regular contributor or a newcomer,
+  we care about making this community a safe place for you and we've got
+  your back.
+- Likewise any spamming, trolling, flaming, baiting or other attention-stealing
+  behaviour is not welcome.
+
+## Moderation
+
+These are the policies for upholding our community's standards of conduct. If
+you feel that a thread needs moderation, please contact one of the A-Frame team
+members.
+
+- Remarks that violate the A-Frame standards of conduct, including hateful,
+  hurtful, oppressive, or exclusionary remarks, are not allowed. (Cursing is
+  allowed, but never targeting another user, and never in a hateful manner.)
+- Remarks that moderators find inappropriate, whether listed in the code of
+  conduct or not, are also not allowed.
+- Moderators will first respond to such remarks with a warning.
+- If the warning is unheeded, the user will be kicked, i.e., kicked out of the
+  communication channel to cool off.
+- If the user comes back and continues to make trouble, they will be banned,
+  i.e., indefinitely excluded.
+- Moderators may choose at their discretion to un-ban the user if it was a
+  first offense and they offer the offended party a genuine apology.
+- If a moderator bans someone and you think it was unjustified, please take it
+  up with that moderator, or with a different moderator, in private. Complaints
+  about bans in-channel are not allowed.
+- Moderators are held to a higher standard than other community members. If a
+  moderator creates an inappropriate situation, they should expect less leeway
+  than others.
+
+The initial and interim moderators will be the developers of A-Frame including,
+but not limited to, Diego Marcos <[email protected]> and Kevin Ngo
+<[email protected]>. Contact us if you would like to volunteer and be listed as
+a moderator.
+
+In the A-Frame community we strive to go the extra step to look out for each
+other. Don't just aim to be technically unimpeachable, try to be your best
+self. In particular, avoid flirting with offensive or sensitive issues,
+particularly if they're off-topic; this all too often leads to unnecessary
+fights, hurt feelings, and damaged trust; worse, it can drive people away from
+the community entirely.
+
+And if someone takes issue with something you said or did, resist the urge to
+be defensive. Just stop doing what it was they complained about and apologize.
+Even if you feel you were misinterpreted or unfairly accused, chances are good
+there was something you could've communicated better -- remember that it's your
+responsibility to make your fellow A-Framers comfortable. Everyone wants to
+get along and we are all here first and foremost because we want to talk about
+cool technology. You will find that people will be eager to assume good intent
+and forgive as long as you earn their trust.
+
+The enforcement policies listed above apply to all official A-Frame venues;
+primarily the A-Frame Slack channel and GitHub repositories under aframevr.
+For other projects adopting the A-Frame Code of Conduct, please contact the
+maintainers of those projects for enforcement. If you wish to use this code of
+conduct for your own project, consider explicitly mentioning your moderation
+policy or making a copy with your own moderation policy so as to avoid
+confusion.
