Rules and Policies

1. Anime St. Louis attendees are expected to follow rules of etiquette including respecting those around you and not disrupting the convention experience of other people.

2. Anime St. Louis attendees shall not engage in illegal activities, including, but not limited to, underage drinking, use of illicit drugs, carrying of concealed weapons, and sexual harassment. Failure to comply to this rule will result in both your removal from the premises and police intervention.

3. Anime St. Louis wishes to preserve a spirit of fun social interaction. Please refrain from fighting, yelling, or being generally belligerent. Refrain from "scaring the norms", especially with weapons.

4. Please do not bring real weapons to Anime St. Louis. Prop weapons made from wood, plastic, foam, cardboard or another lightweight material are preferred. If your weapon looks too realistic, you may be asked to check it with security. Airsoft weapons are not be loaded at any time at the convention, and they must have an orange tip. Nerf guns and other foam-shooting guns are allowed to be loaded outside only. Do not engage in fighting in the crowded hallways. We're sure that Jin did insult your honor, but please take the fight outside or into the lobby (and don't break anything or hurt anyone... YOU are responsible for any damage you cause).

5. Do not post fliers on walls or doors. You will rip the paint and wallpaper off, which is NOT a good thing.

6. Please dress appropriately. Do not wear just your underwear or run around naked. This is a family-friendly event, so let's keep our costumes between PG and PG-13 (not Titanic PG-13, either). Anyone who is not dressed appropriately will be asked to leave.

7. ShowMe Con serves alcohol in their hospitality suite. Anyone under the age of 21 will NOT be served alcohol, and anyone who serves someone under the age of 21 will be turned over to the police.

8. The con staff has the final say on appropriate behavior. Please respect them, and they will respect you.
