+
+## Our Responsibilities
+
+Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of

+
+Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or
+reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions

+permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem
+inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies within all project spaces, and it also applies
+when an individual is representing as a part of the project or its
+community in public spaces.
+
+Examples of representing a project or community include using an official
+project e-mail address, posting via an official social media account, or
+acting as an appointed representative at an online or offline event.
+Representation of a project may be further defined and clarified by
+project maintainers.
