No one should tolerate any conduct of this type. Should you experience or witness harassment, you may choose to take any of the following actions:
1) If you feel safe and comfortable doing so, ask the offender to stop. Whether the offending behavior is intentional or unintentional, expressing your discomfort to the offender directly often puts a stop to that conduct. Oftentimes, the offending behavior is unintentional, and the accidental offender and offended will resolve the incident by ceasing the behavior and/or apologizing.
2) Leave the area. While this may be unfair to you, it is sometimes best for your safety and well-being if you to choose to leave the area, especially if you feel uncomfortable around the offender or their conduct. After separating yourself from the conduct, you may still choose to take additional actions.
3) If the offender insists that he/she did not offend, or if the offender continues the harassment after being asked to stop, then you will need a third party to step in. Find a TSR Con staff member (staff shirt) and let them know about the incident. Or, please email us at TsrLakeGeneva@gmail.com
4) Contact the police or other appropriate authorities. Your health and safety is our most important concern. If you require immediate assistance from law enforcement, medical services, or other governmental entities, please do not hesitate to contact such services directly.
TSR Con participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. If a participant engages in harassing behavior, staff may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender, expelling the offender from TSR Con, or banning the offender from the TSR Con user community.
Specific sanctions may include but are not limited to:
1) Warning the harasser to cease their behavior and that any further reports will result in other sanctions requiring that the harasser avoid any interaction with, and physical proximity to, their victim for the remainder of the event.
2) Requiring that the harasser immediately leave TSR Con without refund and not return.
3) Not allowing a person who violated the policy to attend future TSR Cons.
4) Ending immediately any gaming events or other event responsibilities and privileges the harasser holds and requiring that the harasser not attend future TSR Cons (either indefinitely or for a certain time period)publishing an account of the harassment.
5) Permanent ban from any TSR Con sponsored events or online services.
6) Reporting of the incident to the appropriate authorities. TSR Con staff (staff shirts) will help participants contact hotel/venue security or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the event.
We expect participants to follow these rules in all TSR Con venues,TSR Con-related social events, and online communication channels. We value your participation in the TSR Con community, and your efforts to keep TSR Con a safe and friendly space for all participants!
Any of the following will be grounds for expulsion from the TSR Con without refund:
Violating any federal, state or local laws, facility rules or Con policies Failure to comply with the instructions of TSR Con Event Staff or security personnel Using anything in a threatening or destructive manner against person or property Endangering the safety of oneself or others Threatening, stealing, cheating or harassing others If at any time during our show you feel unsafe or feel you were subjected to harassing conduct, please locate a staff member (staff shirts) and your concerns will be addressed immediately.
TSR Con's Code of Conduct applies in all physical spaces within TSR Con's control. This includes, but is not limited to, event venues and TSR Con social media pages. Occasionally TSR Con is made aware of behavior by participants (or potential participants) that has occurred outside of TSR Con—either online or offline—and is a gross violation of our Code of Conduct. These actions need not occur in TSR Con-affiliated spaces to be considered for sanctions by Con. TSR These include, but are not limited to:
TSR Con participants who have been reported for outside incidents, including, but not limited to, conduct at other conventions, threatening or abusive behavior online, or assault We understand that, at times, participants will have disagreements or interpersonal conflicts that do not necessarily escalate to the point of harassment or abuse. TSR Con will not arbitrate such disagreements—we ask that you please leave these conflicts at home
Absolutely leave your Politics & Religion at the Door!
There are no refunds unless for medical reasons.
If you are unsure about being able to either afford or attend our show, please do not buy a badge to our show. Like a concert ticket or a ticket to a sporting event, there will be no refunds unless for medical reasons.
However, we acknowledge that things happen. So, if you do buy a badge and/or game tickets and you have to cancel, we will credit your account with those amounts for you to use at a future TSR Con. The only limitation on this is that the request for a credit must be received by us by the close of Pre-Registration. After that, only game ticket returns will be honored in person at the show. There will be no badge returns after this point. Again, if you are unsure that you can either afford or attend our show, please do not buy a badge.
We are the sole owners of the information collected on this site. We only have access to/collect information that you voluntarily give us via email or other direct contact from you. We will not sell or rent this information to anyone.
We will use your information to respond to you, regarding the reason you contacted us. We will not share your information with any third party outside of TSR Con, other than the below.
Please note By buying a game ticket to any specific gaming event at our show, you are giving us the express permission to share your contact information with the GM or organizer of that event, should they request it. GMs/organizers often want to contact their players before their event in order to share information about that specific gaming event.
Kids 8 and under can enjoy free admission to the convention if they are accompanied by a badge owning adult. However, kids 8 and under are still required to buy individual game tickets if they wish to participate in games. If you wish to obtain a badge for a child age 8 or younger, that badge is free as long as the child is accompanied by a badge owning adult at all times while at TSR Con. To apply for such a badge, please send us an email and state the full name of the child, the age of the child and the full name of the badge owning adult(s) that will be accompanying the child. Kids 8 and under who are merely accompanying a badge owning adult may be present in the convention. However, if these children are 9 and older and wish to participate in any convention activities they must register and pay for a badge and must buy individual game tickets to participate in games.
The purchase of a TSR Con badge admits one person to all basic activities and exhibits at TSR Con during regularly scheduled hours for the day(s) it is purchased. Some designated activities may require payment of a separate, additional fee. In accepting a badge and in consideration for being admitted to TSR Con, the holder consents to being recorded (by audio and/or visual means) for exhibition and exploitation by any means in all media, including without limitation the Internet, worldwide in perpetuity. The badge holder releases TSR Con LLC from any liability for loss or damage to persons or property, infringement of any right, or any other claim or course of action of any kind; authorizes and permits TSR Con LLC and its designee s which includes but is not limited to all sponsors, exhibitors and contractors to use and authorize the use of his/her name, voice, likeness and all reproductions thereof by any means and in all media now and hereafter known, including without limitation the Internet, for all purposes worldwide in perpetuity; and agrees to comply with all the rules and regulations of the Event. TSR Con LLC reserves the right to deny entry or remove from the Event facilities any person who in its sole and absolute discretion is behaving or threatening to behave in a manner which it reasonably considers to be disruptive of the TSR Con.
