  • No spam.

SPAMMY PULL/MERGE REQUESTS WILL BE LABELED AS “SPAM.”
We won't hesitate in labelling spammy requests as “spam” and close them. PR/MRs labeled “spam” won’t count toward Hacktoberfest. Contributors with 2+ spammy PR/MRs are disqualified.

AVOID SUBMITTING LOW-QUALITY PULL/MERGE REQUESTS.
Hacktoberfest is about contributing meaningfully to open-source projects. Here are some examples of low-quality pull/merge requests that won’t count towards Hacktoberfest.

  • Automated pull/merge requests: scripted opening pull requests to remove whitespace, fix typos or optimize images.
  • Disruptive pull/merge requests: taking someone else’s branch/commits and making a pull request.
  • Anything that a project maintainer flags as spam.
  • Anything that looks like an attempt to duplicate your pull request count for October.

Multiple pull/merge requests for the same issue that are unnecessary -for example five PR/MRs to remove a stray whitespace is not.
