Examples of Unacceptable Behavior:

  • Causing someone to fear for their safety, such as through bullying, harassment, discrimination, stalking, following, or intimidation
  • Violent threats or language directed against another person
  • The display of sexual or violent images
  • Unwelcome sexual attention

  • Warn the offender
  • Ask the offender to leave an IGCP 683 event
