Code of Conduct
The Short Version:
Act with common sense and kindness when possible. If the two are incompatible, go with common sense. Common sense includes holding reasonable boundaries.
If you notice any PFC volunteer or event attendee behaving in a way that causes, or is likely to cause, harm, please take practical action.
The Long Version:
Section 1: Attendee and Volunteer Conduct at Events
Each attendee and/or PopFic Collective volunteer member will make reasonable efforts to be respectful toward other members and attendees, and will avoid language, topics, descriptions, and details that are inappropriate to the PopFic Collective event they attend.
Should an event attendee state their desire to avoid a topic that they find psychologically harmful, their wishes will be treated seriously.
In the event that such a request is made, it will be up to the event host to decide whether the event supports free discussion of said topic under the assumption that attendees will not speak to cause harm; whether the discussion should be curtailed; or, if the request is made in apparent reference to the behavior of another attendee or other attendee(s), whether the tone, language, or in-event presence of that individual or individual(s) should be curtailed.
Regardless of the host’s decision, all attendees are to support and respect the right of each attendee to state their boundaries.
Any PopFic Collective event host has the right to stop any event they host for The PopFic Collective at any time should they feel unsafe, or should they feel that an attendee or attendees is/are acting in an inappropriate manner toward others.
Should the host choose to end an event due to such a disturbance, they will notify PopFic Collective leadership of happened and request a follow-up meeting at their preference.
Section 2: Refusal of Membership and/or Attendance
PopFic Collective leadership may refuse membership and/or event attendance and/or resource use to any individuals, groups, or organizations for any reason at any time and for any duration.
PopFic Collective volunteers hosting an event or interactive resource may refuse entry to and/or block attendance of any individual, group, or organization for any reason at any time for the duration of that event. They will notify PopFic Collective leadership of this decision and the reasoning behind it in a timely manner.
Section 3: Leaving The PopFic Collective
If you’re a volunteer member and you’re in the middle of a project, try to wrap it up or hand it off with context prior to your exit. In the end, though, do what’s healthy for you. We get it.
