Code of Conduct
w3Develops is a friendly place to learn to code and build things together, and we want to keep it that way. By taking part, on the site or in any of our community spaces, you agree to follow this code of conduct.
In short: be kind. No harassment, trolling or spam.
Last updated: November 8, 2026
Where it applies
In short: Everywhere w3Develops meets: the site, Discord, social media, video calls and events.
This code covers the w3Develops site (profiles, groups, check-ins, notes and competitions) and every community space we run, including Discord, our social media accounts, study group and project calls, and meetups.
What we expect
In short: Help each other learn, and assume good intentions.
- Be patient and welcoming. Everyone here started as a beginner, and some people still are.
- Give feedback on code and ideas, not on people.
- Show up for your group or project, and say so if you can't.
- Credit other people's work, and share only what you have the right to share.
What isn't allowed
In short: Harassment, trolling and spam.
Harassment includes sexual language or images, threats or deliberate intimidation, stalking, name-calling, unwanted attention, spreading false claims about someone, sharing their private information, and any malicious hacking or social engineering. w3Develops should be free of harassment for everyone, whatever their gender, gender identity or expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion or lack of one, or experience level.
Trolling means posting things meant to provoke people or derail a discussion.
Spam means posting off-topic messages to disrupt a discussion, promote a product, ask for money, advertise jobs or gigs outside the job board, or flooding a space with files or text.
Bots and automated accounts aren't allowed without written permission from the w3Develops team.
Reporting a problem
In short: Tell us, with a screenshot and a link if you can.
If you see someone harass, troll or spam anywhere in the community, email team@w3develops.org or message a moderator on Discord. A screenshot and a link to where it happened help us act quickly. We keep reports private.
The team will take whatever action it thinks is right, from a warning to removing content or banning someone from w3Develops. Breaking this code also breaks our Terms of Use.
