To ensure high-quality contributions, StarMine has established guidelines to prevent spammy pull requests (PRs):
- PRs must be associated with an open issue. PRs without a corresponding issue may be considered spam.
- Avoid submitting trivial or minor changes unless they significantly improve the project.
- Contributions for events like Hacktoberfest should focus on solving meaningful issues rather than making superficial changes.
- Failure to follow these guidelines may result in the PR being marked as spam after consultation with the contributor.
If you experience or witness behavior that violates this Code of Conduct, please report it to the project maintainers. Reports will be handled confidentially and with care.
We are committed to addressing all concerns promptly to ensure a safe, inclusive environment for everyone.
