In the interest of ensuring everyone a safe and fun convention, all attendees of Animazement are expected to adhere to to the following Code of Conduct:

1.  Do not sleep in convention areas.  Rooms are available at nearby hotels.

2.  Do not sell anything at the convention (art, T-shirts, videos, glowsticks, etc.) without PRIOR written permission from the Animazement director.  Selling stuff out of your room is a great way to end your convention early!

3.  Wear your badge.  No badge means no admittance.  Period.  One-day badges expire at midnight.  Badges are non-transferrable.

4.  Treat the Guests of Honor, onvention staff, volunteers, and other attendees with respect.

5.  Do not take photographs, shoot videos, or make recordings when the use of such devices is prohibited.  If you aren't sure, ask the nearest Animazement staff member.  Signs will be posted.  This is an unfortunate way to end your convention early.

6.  Do not destroy or damage the convention facilities, or any property belonging to the RCC or Animazement.  Animazement is not responsible for any damage you cause to the RCC or any hotel facilities or property.

7.  Do not touch or "borrow' the audio/visual equipment.  You break it, you buy it.

8.  Do not talk loudly or heckle the anime in the video rooms.  Leave your cell phones, pagers, and walkie-talkies OFF.  There is a time and place to be obnoxious; this isn't it.

9.  Do not obstruct the flow of traffic.  Keep doorways and stairs clear.  We all want to move around the convention, and we can't if you are in the way.  Step to the side to take photographs.  The stairs are not a hangout spot.

10.  Follow the Props and Weapons Policy.  Don't spar with or swing your props.  You could hurt someone, and will be removed from the convention.

11.  Use your "inside voice."  Do not be loud and obnoxious unless instructed to do so by convention staff.  There is a time and place to be obnoxious; we will let you know when that time comes!  Do not beg, panhandle, or solicit for anything.

12.  Wear appropriate clothing at all times, as outlined in the Dress Code.  If you are asked to change, please do so.  RCC rules require that you wear shoes at all times.  Violation of these rules may end your convention early.

13.  Do not drink alcoholic beverages if you are under the age of 21.  Animazement does NOT serve alcohol to attendees.  No alcohol on the convention floor.  Ditto for illegal substances.  Raleigh police officers will be on hand at all times, so don't even think about it.

14.  Do not move tables and chairs.  These items have been placed where they are needed.  If you see convention staff moving furniture, please volunteer to help.

15.  Bathe.  This should go without saying, but every year some attendees manage to incite the wrath of the Febreeze Ninja.  Nobody likes a funky-smelling otaku.  Hotels provide soap for a reason.

16.  Signs are so last century!  Have a personality, not a sign!

17.  Take care of yourself!  We know that there is so much to do at Animazement, sometimes it's hard to remember to eat, drink, and sleep.  But please remember to take care of your body's basic needs!  Water stations are provided for you.  Take advantage of them, and stay hydrated!  Plan your day so that you can have times for meals and rest.  It is not a badge of honor to survive the weekend on nothing but Pocky and no sleep, it's just stupid.
