In general, we avoid acting on reports involving _exclusively_ off-site behavior or rumors.
Reasons for that include limited time constraints, feasibility or to protect ourselves from
manipulation and accusations of libel. The reasons are practical and not a claim to neutrality.
However, such reports may also be taken into account when we receive actionable reports concerning
the same people. At our own discretion, we may apply some exceptions: We may take action e.g.
when an individual encourages harassment on-site, even if said encouragement is taking place
off-site.
#### Community channels
Our real-time discussion channels (e.g. Matrix rooms) are where Codeberg's community meets.
If you witness abusive behavior in our channels, please report it to its active moderators
directly (and, if appropriate, privately).
If you wish to complain about the moderation of our channels, please [contact the e. V.](#email)
The Codeberg community (or a subset of it) meets in our real-time discussion channels;
this is unlike [Codeberg.org], where people and communities can work on their repositories
in isolation from each other.
To ensure the community's health and foster a friendly and welcoming climate, a channel's
moderators can apply stricter moderation standards as they deem fit.
For instance, they can warn or exclude (i.e. mute, kick, ban) individuals over disruptive behavior
(e.g. trolling, [sealioning]) temporarily or permanently, proactively or reactively.
We do not always request that people move their repositories away from [Codeberg.org] as a result
of disputes that arose in our community spaces, but reserve the right to do so in cases
that we deem as gravely serious.
