GaymerCon: Everybody Games

So, I thought that the Readercon harassment conversation itself was amazingly useful, and would have remained so on its own merits even if it had stopped at the two year ban, because this talk was happening out in the light of day instead of being brushed aside and hidden as has so often happened with harassment incidents in the past.

Wiscon:

Harassment

Harassment is generally 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. If you approach someone and they tell you "no" or to leave them alone, you must do so and have no further contact. If you fail to honor their response, they may have a legitimate complaint of harassment.

Harassment of convention members online or in electronic venues will be treated as seriously as physical harassment. If you aren't sure what constitutes harassment, err on the side of caution and restrict your contact. For more information, please review the privacy policies in the following section. If you feel you have been harassed please report the matter immediately to the convention committee, especially Safety and the convention chairs. Please remember that we need to know about any incidents during the convention to be able to take immediate action. If you have been accused of harassment and feel that a committee member's response was unjustified, you may appeal to the convention chairs, but that decision will be 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.
