Expected Behaviour

  • Be considerate, respectful, and collaborative. aka. Don't be a Jerk

Unacceptable Behaviour

  • Intimidating, harassing, abusive, discriminatory, derogatory or demeaning conduct. aka. Being a Jerk

  • Physical, written, or verbal abuse

  • Threats, harassment, stalking, use of any physical force whatsoever against any person

  • Harassment includes: offensive verbal comments related to gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, disability, nudity, sexual images

  • Respect everyone’s personal space. Don’t assume others’ comfort level with handshakes or hugs, even among friends 

  • Playing games. Minor compared to the above, but it kills TOJam's spirit
