 ## Introduction
 
-Exercism is a platform centered around empathetic conversation. We have a low tolerance for communication that makes anyone feel unwelcome, unsupported, insulted or discriminated against.

 ## Seen or experienced something uncomfortable?
 
-If you see or experience abuse, harassment, discrimination, or feel unsafe or upset, please email [abuse@exercism.org](mailto:abuse@exercism.org?subject=%5BCoC%5D) and include \[CoC\] in the subject line. We will follow up with you as a priority.

 ## Enforcement
 
-We actively monitor for Code of Conduct (CoC) violations and take any reports of violations extremely seriously. We have banned contributors, mentors and users due to violations.

+We have banned contributors, mentors and users due to violations.
 
-After we receive a report of a CoC violation, we view that person's conversation history on Exercism and related communication channels and attempt to understand whether someone has deliberately broken the CoC, or accidentally crossed a line. We generally reach out to the person who has been reported to discuss any concerns we have and warn them that repeated violations will result in a ban. Sometimes we decide that no violation has occurred and that no action is required and sometimes we will also ban people on a first offense. We strive to be fair, but will err on the side of protecting the culture of our community.
