Code of Conduct

General Note

IN-PERSON: If you need to locate/talk to a Travellercon/USA staff member, for any reason, come to the registration desk, which will be staffed during scheduled convention hours.

ONLINE: If you need to locate/talk to a TravellerCon Online Gaming staff member, for any reason, look for the staff names under "TC-<name>" in Discord. Staff will also be available, via chat or voice, via the Traveller's Aid Society Discord channel.

This section can be summed up as "Use Wheaton's Law"

-- TravellerCon believes that attendees should experience a convention where we all respectfully get along.

-- GENERAL MISBEHAVIOR: TravellerCon believes that attendees should experience a convention free of harassment. This applies to all attendees, regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, physical appearance, disability, body size or other identifying factor. Harassment, whether from attendees, staff, volunteers, exhibitors, guests or any others associated with the celebration will not be tolerated.

What do we consider harassment?

-- Deliberate intimidation (gaming trash talk that threatens or disparages another).

-- Stalking.

-- Body or gender policing.

-- Verbal comments, texting or imagery that demonstrates harmful or oppressive intent towards a specific group or individual.

-- Unwelcome photography or recording (ask permission first).

-- Inappropriate or unwelcome sexual attention.

-- Persistent disruption of talks or events.

-- Responding to harassment

-- Attendees who are asked to stop any behavior identified as harassment are expected to comply immediately with the request to stop the behavior. Those who refuse to comply or commit repeat offenses are subject to ejection from the celebration event without refund, and banned from the Travellercon Discord server.

Let's all have some respect for others: Gaming is an inclusive hobby, and Travellercon/USA is open to all who uphold a culture of respect towards their fellow guests. We ask everyone to be mutually accountable, in order to maintain a healthy and enjoyable celebration for all.

-- CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 17 are welcome to attend. They must be accompanied by a responsible adult, and the adult agrees to the POLICIES FOR CHILDREN UNDER 17.

-- Travellercon/USA reserves the right to eject any attendee who is unduly disrupting the convention. Such expulsion is not subject to a refund.

-- By attending, whether online, or in-person, all Travellercon/USA participants agree to uphold this policy.
