Harassment and Discrimination:

RadCon is committed to providing a safe and enjoyable environment for its members. The Code of Conduct is to provide guidance to all RadCon convention members regarding “pinhead” behaviors and consequences. It applies to all pre-con, at-con, and post-con activities that are related to RadCon.

Harassment is defined as any behavior that annoys, alarms, or threatens another person or group. This includes unwanted physical contact, following someone around a public area without their consent, or threatening to physically attack someone. Discrimination is not limited to gender, race, ethnicity, age, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or physical and/or mental disability. If someone asks you to leave them alone or tells you no, you walk away, and you do not approach them again. There is no reason for you to have any further interaction with them. We hope that all members will help to make RadCon an enjoyable experience for all by respecting the rights of all attendees while in attendance.

RadCon is prepared to deal with any violations of the code as legally, rapidly, and efficiently as possible.  RadCon reserves the right to revoke membership and eject any individual at any time from RadCon. Refunds will not be provided. Harassing or discriminating against members may result in one or several of the following consequences:

• Verbal warning
• Request to leave convention space for the remainder of the day,
• A “vacation” from RadCon events for the weekend and/or the next year,
• A banning from future RadCon events.
• Contacting law enforcement

If you feel you have been harassed or discriminated against, please report the matter immediately to any of RadCon’s ConCom, Officers, or Security. If possible provide a badge name or name and a physical description of the person or persons involved. RadCon ConCom and Officers can be distinguished by their larger badges with color coded borders. RadCon Security wear vests and/or t-shirts that designate them as such. Helpful RadCon staff can also be found at the registration, merchandising, or information desks. The committee or staff member will notify Convention Security and/or the convention Officers.  Each concern will be addressed on a case by case basis. Please remember that we need to know about any incidents during the convention to be able to take immediate action.  Documentation regarding harassment concerns is maintained. If someone demonstrates a pattern of “pinhead behavior”, the consequences of such will become more severe.

If you have been accused of harassment and feel that the Officer or Security staff’s response was unjustified, you may personally appeal to RadCon’s ConCom at a general meeting. However, their decision is final.

If you feel that you have been the victim of criminal conduct, please notify the local police immediately and, if necessary, seek medical attention. Contact a RadCon Security staff, RadCon staff, or hotel staff if you need help seeking medical attention.

Red Lion Hotel maintains their own guidelines regarding the behavior of guests in the hotel. Violating their guidelines can result in a banning from the hotel. RadCon honors the requests of the Red Lion Hotel and their security staff to refuse service to anyone the hotel deems a potential threat to the safety of other hotel guests.
