 * Behavior that will not be tolerated
 * Our conference is international. Cultures differ. The point of view of the recipient of a message is important. Our safe space policy covers (but is not limited to) these issues:
 * Harassment: Includes offensive statements/comments about gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance such as physique, ethnicity or belief, representations of a sexual nature, conscious intimidation, stalking, persecution, unwanted photography or recording, repeated disruption of lectures and other events, undesirable physical contact and unwanted sexual attention. People who are warned about such behavior must cease immediately.  This also includes: asking the same question several times after other participants tried to answer, asking very general questions that are not directly related to projects people are working on, calling out people asking for their opinion about a specific topic. Do not pester other users with repeated messages.
 * Abuse: Including verbal, written, or physical abuse
 * Discrimination of any person or group of persons, including discriminatory jokes and language
 * Conduct or speech which might be considered sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic, ableist or otherwise discriminatory or offensive in nature
 * Violence and threats: Violence and threats of violence are not acceptable. This includes harassment, deliberate intimidation, and incitement of violence including encouraging a person to commit self-harm. This includes posting or threatening to post other people’s personally identifying information ("doxing") online.
 * Personal attacks: Conflicts naturally arise, but avoid personal attacks. It is not okay to insult, demean or belittle others. Attacking someone for their opinions, beliefs and ideas is not acceptable. Avoid yelling, and please let others speak. Do not post other people's personally identifying information ("doxing")
 * Unwelcome sexual attention: This includes comments, jokes, or imagery of a sexual nature in interactions, communications, or presentation materials, as well as sexual images or text. Images with sexual connotations (e.g. implied by certain emojis) are often inappropriate or unwelcome. Be aware of how your actions affect others; if it makes someone uncomfortable, stop. This includes:
 * Continued unwelcome one-on-one communication after a request to cease
 * Unwelcome sexual attention
 * Repeated harassment of others. In general, if someone asks you to stop, then stop.
 * Unwanted content: Be aware when you are sharing video or audio which might be disconcerting to others. Avoid posting content, pictures, or links that are unrelated to the current topic, or repeated or overly frequent posts. Don't overly promote a specific opinion or topic. Do not post sexually explicit or violent material.
 * Participants asked to stop any unwanted behavior are expected to comply immediately. This applies to everyone, including event staff and sponsors.
