House rules
Last updated 01 Jul 2026Important notice
Afurotaku events are all-ages community spaces. Breaking the code of conduct can mean removal without refund and a ban from future events. Something wrong? Find any crew member in a yellow lanyard, or write to crew@afurotaku.com.
01
Code of conduct
▸Respect everyone: harassment of any kind means one warning, then out.
▸Keep shared spaces all-ages: language, signage and stall content included.
▸Crew calls are final on the day; appeals go to crew@afurotaku.com after the event.
02
Cosplay & props
▸Every prop passes a check at the entrance: budget five minutes.
▸No live steel, functional blades or projectile props. Large builds get peace-bonded.
▸Craftsmanship division requires costumes at least 60% self-made.
▸Changing rooms are available: no public changing.
03
Photography & consent
▸Ask before close-up shots. Cosplay is not consent.
▸Crew photographers wear yellow lanyards; their sets go to the event gallery.
▸Want a photo taken down? One message to any crew channel: no questions.
04
Stalls & vendors
▸Original or licensed merchandise only: no bootlegs.
▸Food vendors need valid permits before setup.
▸Setup 08:00–09:30; teardown after 21:30. No mid-day pack-downs.
05
Tickets & refunds
▸Con registration is free; workshop fees are refundable up to 7 days before.
▸Removal for conduct means no refund.
▸Tickets are personal: name changes via crew@afurotaku.com up to 48h before.
06
Online spaces
▸Tag spoilers on the board: the statute of limitations is one week.
▸No piracy links. Group orders and swap tables exist for a reason.
▸Mods may remove posts; repeat offences follow the same one-warning rule.
