+# Contributing
+
+When contributing to this repository, please first discuss the change you wish to make via a GitHub
+issue before making a change.
+
+Please note we follow the [Rust Code of Conduct](https://www.rust-lang.org/policies/code-of-conduct).
+Please follow it in all your interactions with the project.
+
+## Pull Request Process
+
+1. Ensure that you've provided the reasoning behind the change in the description of your PR.
+2. Await code review and approval by the repository reviewers.
+3. If there are things that need to be changed, you'll be informed of them.
+4. Once everything looks good, it'll be merged.
+5. If the change is deemed undesirable, the PR will be closed without merging.
+
+## Server Icon Submissions
+
+Server icons can be as creative as you want! However, there are some baselines that should be followed:
+
+1. The server icon should contain the Ferris from the cover of the Rust book. The bases are located
+in the `assets/server-icons/bases/` folder.
+2. The file name should follow the pattern `server_icon_<brief description>.<ext>`.
+
+That way people can still recognize the server icon at a glance, which is important for a
+lot of people.
+
+Additionally, the server icon is supposed to represent either silly ideas or support for a cause. Here are a few non-exhaustive examples of things that are allowed and disallowed:
+
+Allowed:
+
+1. References to LGBTQ+ causes
+2. References to BLM causes
+3. Inside jokes of the Discord server
+4. Ferris holding the logo of other programming languages
+
+Disallowed:
+
+1. References to Nazism/pedophilia/zoophilia (or any cause that is generally not socially accepted)
+2. Ferris holding anything that implies a programming language is bad
+(for example, Ferris holding a flag that says `Rust > C++`, or Ferris holding the PHP logo with a 🚫 on top of it)
+3. References to NSFW topics
+
+## Code of Conduct
+
+### Our Pledge
+
+In the interest of fostering an open and welcoming environment, we as
+contributors and maintainers pledge to making participation in our project and
+our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
+size, disability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, level of experience,
+nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and
+orientation.
+
+### Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to creating a positive environment
+include:
+
+* Using welcoming and inclusive language
+* Being respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences
+* Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
+* Focusing on what is best for the community
+* Showing empathy towards other community members
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or
+advances
+* Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or electronic
+  address, without explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+  professional setting
+
+### Our Responsibilities
+
+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.
+
+Project maintainers 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, or to ban temporarily or
+permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate,
+threatening, offensive, or harmful.
+
+### Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces
+when an individual is representing the project or its community. Examples of
+representing a project or community include using an official project e-mail
+address, posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event. Representation of a project may be
+further defined and clarified by project maintainers.
+
+### Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported by opening a modmail in the [repository's associated Discord](https://discord.gg/rust-lang-community).
+All complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that
+is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. The project team is
+obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an incident.
+Further details of specific enforcement policies may be posted separately.
+
+Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of Conduct in good
+faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other
+members of the project's leadership.
+
