-### Facilitation, Not Strongarming
+## Enforcement Responsibilities
 
-We recognise that this software is merely a tool for users to create and maintain their blockchain of preference. We see that blockchains are naturally community platforms with users being the ultimate decision makers. We assert that good software will maximise user agency by facilitate user-expression on the network. As such:
+Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
+acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive,
+or harmful.
 
-* This project will strive to give users as much choice as is both reasonable and possible over what protocol they adhere to; but
-* use of the project's technical forums, commenting systems, pull requests and issue trackers as a means to express individual protocol preferences is forbidden.
+Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
+comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
+not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
+decisions when appropriate.

-Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying the standards of acceptable behavior and are expected to take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any instances of unacceptable behavior.
+This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
+an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
+Examples of representing our community include using an official e-mail address,
+posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event.
