EvilleCon Harassment Policy

Harassment of any kind will not be tolerated at EvilleCon. This policy applies to all attendees, guests, volunteers, security, and staff. EvilleCon expects everyone at the convention to treat each other with respect and to maintain acceptable behavior.Harassment is generally defined as unwanted behavior that creates an intimidating, an offensive, and/or a hostile environment for the person being targeted through physical or psychological means. If you are told that your comments or behavior are unwelcome, stop immediately and cease contact. It doesn’t matter if you don’t think your behavior was harassing; harassment is defined by the victim.

If a person is in cosplay, that does not give you consent to photograph or touch them without their permission (e.g. Cosplay is NOT Consent).Do not pet, touch, take pictures of, or otherwise interact with service animals without the owner’s permission.Costumes must cover any area usually hidden by a bathing suit (genitalia, buttocks, nipples unless otherwise specified). Flashing/mooning other people is considered harassment and will not be tolerated.Any clothing, signs, props, or other materials containing explicit content must NOT be visible inside convention space.

Please report any incidents of harassment as soon as possible. We take all reports very seriously, regardless of who is involved. You can report harassment even if you are not the directly involved, and no retaliation for filing a report will be tolerated.Harassment by any individual (attendees, guests, volunteers, security, or staff) should be reported to Chairs@EvilleCon.com.  During the convention, a phone number will be posted and listed in the program to report all harassment problems.
