Ratified 19 December 2023<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phandemonium, (Capricon\u2019s parent organization) Capricon, and various affiliated outreach events exist for the enjoyment and enrichment of the fannish community. To ensure that the greatest number of people achieve this objective, we have established this Code of Conduct. By this Code, we seek only to ensure that the behavior of any individual or group does not disturb the membership as a whole, nor does it detract from the overall enjoyment of our events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important that you read and understand this Code. Anyone who attends a Phandemonium event, including Capricon, is expected to follow this Code for the entire duration of the event, including any informal pre- or post-event activities.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phandemonium reserves the right to amend these rules at any time without prior or posted notice and reserves the sole right of interpretation. Please keep in mind that these rules are put in place to ensure the safety and comfort of our attendees. They are not all-inclusive. In all cases, the singular rule that supersedes all others is, “Any action or behavior that is illegal or causes significant interference with event operations, excessive discomfort to other attendees, or adversely affects Phandemonium\u2019s relationship with its guests, its venue, or the public is strictly forbidden and may result in revocation of membership privileges.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although we anticipate no difficulties, Phandemonium is prepared to deal with any issues related to the Code in as rapid and efficient a manner as possible should they occur. We thank our members and attendees for their past cooperation and for their continued assistance in making Phandemonium events enjoyable experiences for everyone. Have fun and please remember to be courteous of those around you while doing so!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All Phandemonium events may have additional policies that members \/ attendees are required to follow. Any additional policies for events will be posted on the official Capricon website and social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
