by the project that the community uses for communication. It applies to all of
your communication and conduct in these spaces, including emails, chats, things
you say, slides, videos, posters, signs, or even t-shirts you display in these
-spaces. In addition, violations of this code outside these spaces may, in rare
+spaces.
+
+In rare cases, violations of this code outside of these spaces may affect a
+person’s ability to participate within these spaces. Important examples
+include `sexual and gender-based violence`_, `hate crimes`_, and `hate speech`_.
+We do not conduct proactive research, but we have an obligation to respond
+to any reported concerns. We are not interested in evaluating severity,
+responding punitively, or holding people accountable. Both the relevance
+and our response is instead focused on how a person’s continued participation
+impacts the community’s safety, wellbeing, and inclusivity. We specifically
+prioritize remaining a welcoming community to victims as well as groups
+subjected to systemic marginalization or underrepresentation.
+
+In addition, violations of this code outside these spaces may, in rare
cases, affect a person's ability to participate within them, when the conduct
amounts to an egregious violation of this code.
