Neon One is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone. We do not tolerate harassment of participants in any form. This code of conduct applies to all Neon One spaces, including community forums, email, social media, virtual conferences and webinars, and other events that people gather and communicate together, both online and off. Anyone who violates this code of conduct may be sanctioned or expelled from these spaces at the discretion of the Neon One Culture Committee. Some Neon One spaces may have additional rules in place, which will be made clearly available to participants. Participants are responsible for knowing and abiding by these rules. Harassment includes: - Offensive comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, mental illness, neuro(a)typicality, physical appearance, body size, age, race, or religion. - Unwelcome comments regarding a person’s lifestyle choices and practices, including those related to food, health, parenting, drugs, and employment. - Deliberate misgendering or use of ‘dead’ or rejected names. - Physical contact and simulated physical contact without consent or after a request to stop. - Threats of violence. - Incitement of violence towards any individual, including encouraging a person to commit suicide or to engage in self-harm. - Deliberate intimidation. - Stalking or following. - Harassing photography or recording, including logging online activity for harassment purposes. - Sustained disruption of discussion. - Unwelcome sexual attention. - Pattern of inappropriate social contact, such as requesting/assuming inappropriate levels of intimacy with others - Continued one-on-one communication after requests to cease. - Deliberate “outing” of any aspect of a person’s identity without their consent except as necessary to protect vulnerable people from intentional abuse. - Publication of non-harassing private communication. Reporting If you experience harassment or discrimination in a Neon One space, notice that someone else is experiencing harassment or discrimination, or have any other concerns, please contact Neon One via a direct or anonymous report.
