Harassment and Assault
Harassment is generally any behaviour that intentionally annoys or alarms another person or group of people. This includes unwanted physical contact, following someone around a public area without legitimate reason, or threatening to physically attack someone. Please remember that if you approach someone and they tell you "no" or ask you to leave them alone, your business with them is done. If you do not leave them alone as they have requested, it becomes grounds for complaint of harassment. If you have been or feel you have been harassed, or if you have been assaulted, please report the matter immediately to the Event organisers or staff. Repeat offenders may be asked to hand over their badges and may be asked to leave the Event. If you have been accused of harassment and feel that it was unjustified, you may appeal to one of the Event organisers, but their decision is final.
