+# Code of Conduct
+
+## The Short Version
+
+We are dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion (or lack thereof), technology choices, and so on. This applies both in person or via online media.
+
+## The Less Short Version
+
+Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, age, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, religion, technology choices, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, disruption of performances, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.
+
+If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact an admin immediately.
+
+If you report an incident of harassment you can expect to be listened to and taken seriously. The admin will take action they deem appropriate in response depending on the scale and severity of the incident. For example:
+
+1. Discuss the perpetrator’s behaviour with them and ask them to stop. Explain what they have done and why it is unacceptable. Remind the perpetrator of the code of conduct. Monitor the perpetrator’s behaviour and if it improves then they will continue to be welcome.
+2. Temporarily exclude the perpetrator from the forum for a cool-off period. Explain what they have done and why it is unacceptable and remind them of the code of conduct. Monitor the person’s behaviour and if it improves then they will continue to be welcome.
+3. Remove the perpetrator from the forum. Explain what they have done and why it is unacceptable and remind them of the code of conduct.
+
+# Post-AI humane policy for live coding development
+
+Please follow the following policy on AI/LLM use.
+
+## Community
+
+All community members should be treated with respect and kindness. We welcome contributors to the community who are ready to follow this policy as well as the above code of conduct.
+
+## Principles
+
+* We wish to protect the humanity of our communities and projects, to support the motivation and mental health of all of its contributors and users.
+* To this end, contributors and other users of our projects should not have to engage with LLM-generated code and text as part of their community work.
+* We recognise that LLM-based scraping and generation of (A)GPL code shared by ourselves and others is of questionable legality. For example under many juristictions, LLM-generated work does not have a copyright holder and can therefore not be licensed under the (A)GPL.
+* A contributor's personal use of LLMs and related technology is their own business, whether for research, analysis, bug discovery or other assistive technology, so long as the output is not included in any contributions to our projects.
+
+## In practice
+
+* Contributions including LLM-generated content will be declined.
+* LLM-generated text (e.g. commit messages, issue comments, forum posts etc) generated by LLMs will be flagged, and ultimately deleted.
+* We encourage asking each other questions and working through problems to promote collective knowledge and creative ideas (never telling each other to "just google it").
+* We strongly discourage others from forking/importing our projects into corporate AI platforms, including Microsoft Github.
+* All contributions must be submitted by a human who understands the changes, is happy to answer questions about them, and where possible, help maintain the code in the future.
+* Where stipulated, discussion (including criticism) of LLM technology and use should be kept to designated channels.
