# Judging Conduct Guidelines

Being a Judge for a customer’s security review contest is a highly privileged role. A high degree of professionalism is expected from every Judge.

To be a Judge on DualGuard, the following rules should be observed:

* No comments should be written that disparage DualGuard, a DualGuard team member, the customer, a customer’s team member, or other Judges
* No vulgar, spam or off-topic comments should be written
* No attempt to break or game the judging system should be attempted
* If any issue with the judging system is discovered, it should be reported to the DualGuard team immediately
* No discussion of judging on an external public channel (such as X/Twitter, a non-DualGuard Discord server, etc.) should occur

If any of the above guidelines are not followed, a temporary or permanent ban from judging and removal of the DualGuard Judge role will follow.
