Gray Area is dedicated to providing a respectful, harassment-free community for everyone. We strive to create a safe space for learning and community to share new ideas. We do not tolerate harassment or bullying of any community member in any form. This does not only extend to staff members of Gray Area, but to anyone who chooses to become involved in the larger Gray Area community of artists, developers and students through events or interactions.
Harassment includes offensive verbal/electronic comments related to personal characteristics or choices, sexual images or comments in public or online spaces, deliberate intimidation, bullying, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks, IRC chats, electronic meetings, physical meetings or other events, inappropriate physical contact, or unwelcome sexual attention. Participants asked to stop any harassing or bullying behavior are expected to comply immediately.
If a participant engages in harassing behavior, representatives of the community may take reasonable action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender, expulsion from any Gray Area event, or expulsion from mailing lists, IRC chats, discussion boards and other electronic communications channels to resolve the issue. This may include expulsion from membership in the Gray Area program they are attending. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please act to intercede or ask for help from any member of Gray Area, IRC or chat admins, website admins, or organizers/representatives of any physical events put on under the auspices of Gray Area.
