+## 'AI' policy
-faith may face temporary or permanent repercussions as determined by other
+
-members of the project's leadership.
+There are ways in which a LLM-based tool can be helpful such as when searching the web or for learning. More so, tools like github and google themselves are being modified to railroad users into using LLM-based tools. It'd be really impractical and neigh-impossible to ban 'AI' altogether from being used during the development of a contribution and that's not really the purpose of this policy.
+
+HOWEVER, from a legal standpoint, it is too difficult to know the origin of LLM-generated code so there are risks of it infringing on copyright. And from a pragmatic stand point, we want to be able to trust the quality of the code. That is to say, we do not want contributions where the bulk of the code was AI-generated or or where the contributors themselves do not understand the code being pushed. This is also in relation to items 4 and 5 of the encouraged behaviors. We want contributors that can vouch for the code they contribute and can receive and act on constructive feedback to it.
+
+Note that this is only a policy affecting Pull Requests to this project. This project is released under a permissive FOSS licence, so there's nothing really that can stop forks from having a different policy on this and any individual is allowed to create such a fork should they want to.
+
+## Reporting an Issue
+
+Tensions can occur between community members even when they are trying their best to collaborate. Not every conflict represents a code of conduct violation, and this Code of Conduct reinforces encouraged behaviors and norms that can help avoid conflicts and minimize harm.
+
+When an incident does occur, it is important to report it promptly. To report a possible violation, may be
+reported by contacting the project team at vexorian@gmail.com

 ## Limitations
 
@@ -32,6 +33,7 @@ EPG (Guide Information) data is stored to `.dizquetv/xmltv.xml`
 - dizqueTV does not currently watch your Plex server for media updates/changes. You must manually remove and re-add your programs for any changes to take effect. Same goes for Plex server changes (changing IP, port, etc).. You'll have to update the server settings manually in that case.
 - Most players (including Plex) will break after switching episodes if video / audio format is too different. dizqueTV can  be configured to use ffmpeg transcoding to prevent this, but that costs resources.
 - If you configure Plex DVR, it will always be recording and transcoding the channel's contents.
+- In its current state, dizquetv is intended for private use only and you should be discouraged from running dizqueTV in any capacity where other users can have access to dizqueTV's ports. You can use Plex's iptv player feature to share dizqueTV streams or you'll have to come up with some work arounds to make sure that streams can be played without ever actually exposing the dizquetv port to the outside world. Please use it with care, consider exposing dizqueTV's ports as something only advanced users who know what they are doing should try.
