Our two strict rules are no physical violence and no doxxing. The first should be self-explanatory. Regarding the second, don't take photos/videos at FarCon unless you get explicit permission from everyone you're recording. The Chatham House rule applies to personal interactions: you may talk about what happened but cannot reveal who said or did any particular thing. Some events may post content online (eg hackathon winners, talks from key speakers), but organizers of such events must get consent before posting.

We call these rules strict because we don't have the capacity to spend a lot of time looking into allegations about them. If we get a credible claim of a violation, we will have to ask the accused to leave and revoke their pass for the rest of the event. This is harsh and may lead to false positives and someone being wrongly punished. We don't like this tradeoff, but we accept it. If possible, try to resolve any issues that come up directly with the people involved. And if you have any questions or concerns, we're always happy to talk.

Our short list of no-nos is not a reflection of our ideal policy, but of our limited capacity. We would love to provide more support but we can't do it ourselves. If you're on FC and want to help, please reach out.

Above all, we rely on everyone's existing relationships and common humanity to create a safe and cozy experience. It's no coincidence that Farcaster's premiere memecoin emphasizes courtesy and civil behavior. Please take care of each other. FarCon stands for collaboration, decentralization, and deepening connections. Those values apply here as much as anywhere.
