Code of Conduct

The NaNoCon Code of Conduct

 
NaNoCon is committed to presenting a convention that is fun, friendly, and informative for all participants.

This includes creating an atmosphere that is harassment-free. All convention participants are required to adhere to our code of conduct for the duration of our convention at all convention venues and all convention-related social events.

NaNoCon does not tolerate harassment of or by convention participants in any form. Prohibited conduct includes but is not limited to harassment related to gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age, religion, sexual images in public spaces (not related to convention sessions or materials), deliberate intimidation, stalking, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.

NaNoCon recognizes that criticism of religion is common at our convention and welcomes such discussion. However, the harassment of individuals' religious beliefs will not be tolerated. Racist, sexist, homophobic, or transphobic conduct will not be tolerated. The code provides a process for reporting incidents of unacceptable behavior, with a commitment to addressing these reports promptly. NaNoCon volunteers can be identified with yellow lanyards and are the Convention point of contact for reporting any issues.

Failure to abide by our convention code of conduct will result in ejection from the convention without refund at the sole discretion of convention organizers. NaNoCon understands that human interaction can be complex and confusing. Please give each other the benefit of explaining behavior you find offensive or unwelcome. However, participants asked to stop any prohibited conduct are expected to comply immediately.
