Code of Conduct:

NARFurs is a youth, young adult, adult-serving, community-based organization dedicated to providing fun-filled events for all those in the specific and not limited to the North Alabama region. We will be working with the other groups in Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, and Mississippi all of us together a group for all to get together and be friends within the very large worldwide fandom we are all a part of.

Participation in the organization's programs is subject to the observance of the organization's rules and procedures. The activities outlined below are strictly prohibited. Any participant or staff member who violates this Code is subject to discipline, you may be removed from the premises and legal action may apply and up to and including removal from the group.

• Abusive language towards a staff member, volunteer or another member.
• Possession or use of alcoholic beverages or illegal drugs at any event or reporting to an event while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• Bringing dangerous or unauthorized materials such as explosives, firearms, weapons or other similar items to an event will result in legal action by NARFurs.
• Discourtesy or rudeness to a fellow member, staff member or volunteer.
• Verbal, physical or visual harassment of another member, staff member or volunteer.
• Actual or threatened violence toward any individual or group.
• Conduct endangering the life, safety, health or well-being of others.
• Failure to follow any agency policy or procedure.
• Bullying or taking unfair advantage of any attendees.
• Failing to cooperate with an adult supervisor/leader/mentor or staff members.

Public gatherings:
PDA - when we are gathering as a group I urge everyone to keep the displays of affection to a minimum gay/straight.
Businesses/parks - If we are gathering as a group at a restaurant, park, etc. please bear in mind we must be good to them we must support them by buying and donating to them so that we are good consumers and they will want us to come back.
Fursuits – Make sure that your suit is acceptable for the event (i.e. nothing inappropriate, not suitable or proper in the circumstances.) Always try and change out of public sight and if you have to pop your head, paws, suit please get out of sight as much as possible. Never unsuit in front of kids unless it's an emergency (i.e. overwhelmed with heat or security issue) Seeing someone take fursuit parts off in the open ruins the magic.
RULES OF NARFurs:

Keep in mind; we are a group of individuals, which enjoy the furry fandom and all that it includes. By applying the “Golden Rule” (Do unto others as you would have them do unto you) we will enjoy fun and growth in our furry and non-furry community. Let us always respect one another, so here are some rules to help us along the way.

• All members WILL respect ALL members, visitors and staff members of NARFurs.
• Under NO circumstances will harassment (Of any kind) be tolerated. This will constitute grounds for banishment from the group. No means NO! If you are doing something and someone tells you no, be it on the email list, public event or house party and you continue that is an automatic strike or more depending on the action. NO public or private harassment of any kind will be tolerated!!
• Under NO circumstances will discrimination (Of any kind) be tolerated. This will constitute grounds for banishment from the group.
• You must be 13 years or older to participate in any events NARFurs hosts, or have written permission by a parental or legal guardian.
• You must not create or submit unwanted email to any NARFurs members (“Spam”).
• You must not transmit any worms or viruses or any code of a destructive nature.
• NO one is permitted in the designated headless lounge area unless you are the designated handler for that fursuiter, if you aren't a fursuiter you don't have permission to be there! Don't be a creeper.

General Conditions:

1. We reserve the right to modify or terminate NARFurs for any reason, without notice at any time.
2. We will now be working on a “3 Strike” system. We know everyone has their share of screw ups. The big thing here is you need to learn from your mistakes and correct the undesired behavior. You will receive a warning if you are getting close to a strike to hopefully get you to behave but if you reach that 3rd strike you immediately get a 6 month suspension from the group and will only be allowed back after if the group agrees via poll to a majority. You come back with one final chance if allowed back. If you lose that, then the ban becomes permanent.
3. We are a“NO Drama”Group! If you have issue with someone, keep it between you and them. DO NOT drag other members of the group into it. If there is an issue that you have with a member of the group you can message  Jamie_Neon fenris5856 Jamie or Fenris directly and he will pass it to the other “Core” members of the group and we will see if we can get something resolved.
4. We reserve the right, in accordance with any applicable laws, to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time.
5. We may, but have no obligation to, remove Content and accounts containing Content that we determine in our sole discretion are unlawful, offensive, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene or otherwise objectionable or violates any party’s intellectual property or these Terms of Use.
6. We reserve the right to alter these Terms of Use at any time. If the alterations constitute a material change to the Terms of Use, we will notify you via email or journal. What constitutes a “material change” will be determined at our sole discretion, in good faith and using common sense and reasonable judgment.
General Code for Events and Outings:

1. At any NARFurs public gathering, everyone must abide by all local, state and federal laws. This means that things like underage drinking are a BIG NO-NO! We do have members of the group under 21 and even under 18 so please keep that in mind. This can not only get you in trouble but can get the group in trouble and also the business we are at. This can mean citations, fines and worse not to mention the group being potentially banned from the location they are at.
2. House party rules are more so at the discretion of the hosts. They are encouraged to invoke the normal rules along with any additional they see fit requiring. For the hosts/hostesses remember that if someone leaves your party and would get a DUI or worse you can and probably will be held accountable by the courts for illegally serving a minor or over-serving someone. (Yes, this has been upheld in court) Who you invite to your house parties is your choice. It is a courtesy if you are inviting others than group members that you let the group know they will be in mixed company. If you choose to invite someone that is banned you need to advise the group prior to the event so members of the group can choose if they want to participate or not with the person being there.
3. If someone would be mates with someone that is banned, that does not mean that they are banned. You would still be allowed to attend events just not with your mate.
4. If someone that is banned from the group make any attempt to attend a gathering they know they are unwelcome at, if they are on their 6 month ban it then becomes automatically permanent. If a banned person shows up unwelcome at a public event it is encouraged you contact the owner/manager of the business and advise them there is someone that might be causing issues. If it is as a house party, then you have every right to call the proper authorities and report someone trespassing. No means no and if you are banned that means no you cannot attend group events.
Planning Events:
If you have interest in hosting or planning an even please contact the admins of the group and we can get the ball rolling.


Attending events:

At someone's house or apartment - When you go to an event, someone has spent time, energy and a lot of the time some money especially if they are having it at their apartment or house. Be a good guest! Some of the things you need to pay close attention to are:

Smoking rules - Can you smoke inside and if not, where can you smoke. Also don't just discard your cigarette butts, put them where they belong

Pet rules - if they have dogs or cats in the house, make sure you don't stand with the door open and make sure you close it tightly if you go in or out. If it's ok to give the animal’s treats or anything

PDA rules - Unless you are going to an orgy, keep it in your pants. If you are doing something and someone else looks uncomfortable....stop!

Potluck rules - The whole purpose of a Potluck is a gathering where everyone brings a dish to share. The rule of thumb is that whatever you bring should be enough for 4-6 people to each have a decent serving. Look at it like going out got a decent dinner. You would probably spend $15 plus for Chili's or O'Charley's, and you are getting a hellacious amount of food that you will have at, so spend accordingly. Nothing pisses off a host more than a mooch. If you want to come but can't financially afford to get something, talk to the host upfront/privately BEFORE the event about it. Heck if nothing else offer to do dishes, take out the trash or help clean up. Contribute how you can that will help the host!

Cleanliness rules - Be a good guest and you make sure you get invited back. Use common sense and common courtesy when at someone's place. Use coasters or a napkin to sit your drink on. Throw your cans, cups, plates, trash away. If you are using "real" plates, glasses, silverware, take them to the kitchen and as the host what they want done with them. You May like living in a cluttered place but that does not give you right to do it as someone else place. Also ...... take a shower and wear clean clothes.

R.S.V.P.'s - When an invite is given in any form and you plan on attending even if it's a "maybe" let the host know. If you can't make it don't just be a no show, let the house know what you are not able to make it. Don't just drop in unless you know that is ok ahead of time. If a set time is given for things to start try and be there on time or a little early. If you are running late let someone know.
