### Specific Guidance: Infrastructure Misuse and Promotion
**Community Impact:** A pattern of using Avalonia’s official channels primarily to promote external projects, products, or services, recruit contributors, or coordinate unrelated work, especially where it derails ongoing technical discussion or continues after a moderator request to stop.
**Consequence:** Moderators will remove promotional content immediately to keep discussions focused. If the behaviour appears unintentional or isolated, moderators will follow up privately with guidance and redirect to appropriate venues (e.g., AvaloniaCommunity org, personal blogs). Repeated violations after guidance will result in a formal warning and, if continued, restriction from project platforms up to and including a permanent ban.
*Note: This guidance addresses patterns of disruption and misuse of shared channels. It does not prohibit technical criticism, benchmarks, or mentioning alternatives when relevant and explained with technical context.*
