Attendee Code of Conduct

Glasgow Furs is a volunteer-run community group. We run monthly casual bar meets and occasional ticketed paid events. This code of conduct sets the baseline expectations for behaviour at Glasgow Furs activities and in official Glasgow Furs spaces.

Some meets and events may have additional venue-specific rules. Please check the relevant listing on the events page before attending.

Our Rules

  • Treat everyone with basic respect and kindness.
  • No bullying, intimidation, harassment, or targeted hostility.
  • No discriminatory behaviour of any kind - including race, nationality, religion, gender identity, sexuality, disability, or appearance.

  • Respect boundaries immediately when asked.
  • No unwanted sexual attention, comments, or contact.
  • Don't touch fursuits, tails, ears, collars, or gear without clear permission.
  • Don't pressure anyone for photos, DMs, or personal information.

  • No threats of violence or intimidation.
  • No stalking or persistent unwanted contact.
  • No weapons (or behaviour that suggests a risk of violence).
  • Follow venue rules and any instructions from volunteers and venue staff.

If someone is in immediate danger, venue staff/security and/or emergency services may be contacted.

We want meets and events to be safe and enjoyable for everyone:

  • Don't attend while visibly under the influence in a way that creates a safety risk.
  • Don't bring or use illegal substances.
  • If you're overly intoxicated, we may ask you to leave for your own safety.

Furry communities can overlap with people's work and personal lives. Please help keep each other safe:

  • Don't dox or try to identify anonymous attendees.
  • Don't share private information about others without permission.
  • Don't share screenshots of private chats without consent.

Photography and video expectations may vary by event and will be explained on the relevant event page. For ticketed paid events, please also see our Event Terms and Conditions.


Reporting Concerns

If something concerns you:

If it's urgent or you feel unsafe, contact venue staff or security immediately.


What Happens if Rules Are Broken

We try to be fair and proportionate. Depending on the situation, outcomes may include:

  • A reminder or warning
  • Being asked to stop a behaviour
  • Being asked to leave the meet or event
  • A temporary suspension from future meets or events
  • A ban from meets, events, and/or Glasgow Furs spaces

Serious behaviour may result in immediate removal and a longer restriction.
