None. Seriously, no. Not even if they’re deactivated. This includes but is not limited to the following: Pellet/Air guns, Crossbows, Stun guns, Dart guns/Blowguns Anything else that be seen as a danger to the public or the convention. 2) No realistic fake firearms. If you could convincingly rob someone with it, it’s probably too realistic. Our staff and security reserves the right to use discretion as to what constitutes “realistic.” All fake or prop guns must have an orange tip, whether glued, plastic, or painted. 3) If you have a bladed weapon, it must be peace-bonded at all times. No open blades. Other props may be required to be inspected and peace-bonded by our Security, at the discretion of CosplaySF staff. For a definition of peace-bonding, please refer to the one at the bottom of this document. 4) CosplaySF cannot and will not approve a prop prior to the event. Needs to use our peepers to inspect that package. 5) Fake guns and other prop weapons should not be carried outside the hotel. The San Francisco Police Department will treat anyone carrying realistic looking weapons as a real threat. Seriously – there’s a fair going on. 6) Unless you’re actually military or police, don’t dress like it. Yes, you can dress as Axe Cop. As long as any reasonable person can tell you from actual law enforcement, you’re fine. 7) No laser pointers. Real lasers can damage eyes, plus they drive cats crazy. Nobody wants crazy cats in the hotel. 8) If it is illegal outside in the City of San Francisco and/or State of California, it is illegal inside the hotel or convention. Illegal weapons will be reported to the appropriate authorities. 9) We reserve the right to amend these rules at any time. And, just because something isn’t specified here doesn’t mean it doesn’t run afoul of policy. CosplaySF wants to ensure a great time, and that means a sense of safety for all, so we ask that you use good judgment in your selections and abide by the outlined policies. Violation of any of the above policies may result in warning and/or ejection. If you do mistakenly bring something against the rules but do not wish to leave the con, Security can secure it for you until the end of the day. ** Peace-bonding means that you allow CosplaySF Security to put a bright plastic tie on your “weapon” indicating that it has been judged relatively harmless and/or is being bound into a holder of some sort that renders it so. These ties can only be removed by cutting them, making it obvious if tampering should occur. Anyone who has a weapon or prop that could possibly viewed as dangerous (even a little bit) needs to visit Security to have it approved and, if necessary, peacebound. Any weapons that are not approved and/or cannot be peacebound are welcome to stay in the Security office where they will be secured until they are brought home or locked away in the safety of your room. If you are found walking about the event or convention with a questionable object, you will be asked to bring it to Security to have it checked over. All questionable items will be judged on an individual basis to ensure security for all participants. ***CosplaySF Harassment Policy*** We reserve the right to remove anyone if they are found to be harassing anyone. This includes everything from physical assault to unwelcome attention. Inside this event, if someone says “no” it really, seriously, means “no.” This includes cosplay events — remember, cosplay is not consent! Here are some things that run afoul of our policy. This list isn’t comprehensive, but you’ll get the idea: – Physical abuse – Verbal abuse – Stalking – Deliberate Intimidation – Unwanted physical attention of any kind – Unwanted physical contact of any kind – Taking clearly unwanted photos (e.g. up-skirt photos, etc.) Anything physical will result in immediate expulsion. Within reason, for non-physical stuff, we will give you a warning. If you don’t stop, the next option is expulsion. We recognize that lots of people take pictures at events or cons, but please respect the privacy of those who ask you not to take their pictures. You should generally ask permission before taking pictures of specific people. If you see someone taking a picture of you and you don’t want them to, please ask them (politely) not to. We know everyone will be having fun, and many of you will be imbibing. God only knows what we’ll all get up to in the evenings, but while you’re under our watch, behave yourselves. We’re dead serious about this, and if we see trouble brewing, we’ll take action faster than you can name all the original Pokemon. If you feel you have been harassed in any way, please notify one of our security guards. We’ll do our best to make sure the problem gets resolved, and we’ll provide you a safe place to chill in the meantime. In summary: Don’t be a jerk. Don’t be a creep. Have fun, play games, and don’t mess up anyone else’s good time. *** This event WILL SELL OUT, so grab your tickets while you can!
