Code of Conduct

1.0 – General Rules

1.1 – Little Island Furcon (LIFC) is hosted at a public venue. Attendees are reminded to display good conduct in line with the Code of Conduct, complying with both the Venue’s regulations and the laws of Singapore. While we respect that everyone has different values, please be considerate of others, including members of the public. Let’s give others a good impression of the fandom!

1.2 – Attendees are required to wear their badges at all times within the Event space. Attendees are also required to show their badges when asked by convention staff. Badges are personal and not transferable. Any attempt at forgery or trespass will be dealt with accordingly.

1.3 – Costume is not consent. Get permission from the person before hugging or touching them. No means no; respect their boundaries. Do not harass or coerce people into doing things they do not want. Stalking, sexual harassment, assault, and molest are serious offenses, and offenders will be handed over to the authorities. This also applies to interactions out of fursuit.
