Consent & Community Standards
We want Harvest to be an open, welcoming space for everyone. We’re committed to a harassment-free experience, regardless of gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, political opinion, age, appearance, weight, ability, or level of experience. These are part of our Health & Conduct guidelines.
Consent
Consent applies to every interaction at Harvest, physical, sexual, and otherwise. Here’s what we mean by it:
- Consent is Core. It’s one of our most important values, not an afterthought.
- Consent is Conscious. You have to be alert, clear-headed, and fully present to give it.
- Consent is Clear. It’s an enthusiastic yes. Not silence, not a maybe.
- Consent is Specific. Saying yes to one thing doesn’t mean yes to everything. Each new step needs its own yes.
- Consent is Ongoing. You can stop or change your mind anytime, even after saying yes.
- Consent is Coercion-free. No manipulation, pressure, or threats. Just a free choice.
If someone says no, or seems unsure, that’s the answer. Respect it. Don’t ask them to explain.
Community Behaviour
Examples of behaviour that contributes to creating a positive environment include:
- Welcoming and inclusive language.
- Respecting viewpoints and experiences that differ from your own.
- Gracefully being receptive to and accepting constructive criticism.
- Focusing on what is best for the community.
- Showing empathy towards others.
- Helping those in need.
Examples of unacceptable behaviour include:
- The use of sexualized language and unwelcome sexual attention or advances.
- Trolling, insulting/derogatory comments, and personal or ideological attacks.
- Harassment of any kind, in public or private.
- Excessive intoxication.
- Theft or willful mistreatment of personal property.
- Violence of any kind.
