Respect Other People
Everyone is welcome in alchemedium activities regardless of gender, sexual identity, ethnicity, age, nationality, religion, appearance.
- Be thoughtful: Welcome new people to the group. When giving feedback, be constructive. When discussing games, be thoughtful about what you say.
- Ask questions: If you want to learn about something, ask questions.
- Respect boundaries: If someone has indicated that they don’t want to do something (e.g. talk, hang out, play a particular game, etc), respect their decision. “No” means no.
- Look for consent: When in doubt about whether something is okay, ask. Look for enthusiastic consent. If someone is silent or otherwise does not protest, assume they mean “no”. If someone tells you no or otherwise does not provide consent, drop it.
