What is the Code of Conduct?
We care about inclusive, safe and happy gaming spaces and as such we have a Code of Conduct which we expect all attendees, volunteers, exhibitors and staff to abide by. This is applicable to both the conventions and the online space surrounding them (Facebook page, group and events, Game Finder and any other online or social media spaces).
- Good manners: please be courteous and respectful to one another. Every person has an equal right to game and to enjoy the convention in safe and hygienic surroundings. Please be aware that some people are new to gaming, or like to play different games than you. Consider if your behavior could be interpreted differently by other members of our community.
- Harassment: please remember that everyone has a right to enjoy their hobby in a safe and non-sexual environment, and no-one should be sexualised without their consent. Harassment includes but is not limited to:
- Offensive verbal comments
- Explicit sexual images or references
- Unwanted attention or following of persons
- Unwanted recording or photography
- Sustained disruption of games or activities
- Inappropriate physical contact
- Inappropriate or insensitive remarks about gender or gender identity
- Repeated misgendering or failure to respect someone’s preferred pronouns
- Needlessly or repeatedly drawing attention to someone’s physical characteristics
- Alcohol: please feel free to drink responsibly. Alcohol is not an excuse for loud, aggressive or inappropriate behavior.
- Being allowed back: There are rules that the University has, such as only drinking alcohol in designated areas. Most items fall under 1. Good Manners. Please can you follow the University’s Rules so we can come back again next year.
