# Code of conduct

Concept · [Programs and community](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/community)

Also called: CoC, community rules, community guidelines, conduct policy

The written rules for how people in a community or at an event must treat each other, and what happens when someone breaks them.

**For example:** A community's code of conduct bans spam and harassment. A member who posts the same [sales](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/revenue) [pitch](https://ecosystem.samcarlton.com/pitch-deck) in every channel gets a warning from a moderator.
