Values

We provide an inclusive environment for all to learn, experiment and enjoy radio communications by :

  • Encouraging, promoting and supporting diversity with the wider radio community

  • Sharing our experiences and learnings with the community

  • Celebrating and embracing pride on the air

Code of Conduct

The Code of Conduct provides us a way of ensuring our values are followed. We expect you to follow it at all times when representing the group, or communicating with other members. Failure to follow the code of conduct will result in permanent removal from the group. 

Our values and code of conduct are living and may change from time to time. If you have questions or feedback about our values and code of conduct please contact someone on the moderation team.

Be respectful

Respect yourself, and respect others. Be courteous to those around you. If someone indicates they don't wish to be contacted, respect that wish. If someone indicates they would like to be left alone, let them be. Please be considerate to all, and this includes on the air.

Ask how people would like to be referred to in person, online and over the air.

Don’t assume that an operator wants to be called an “OM” (Old Man), or "“YL” (Young Lady).

Be inclusive

All material should be suitable for people aged 12 and above.

Content must not contain:

  • sexual or violent imagery;

  • exclusionary language;

  • insults or ad-hominem attacks.

Be aware

We ask everyone to be aware that we will not tolerate intimidation, harassment, or any abusive, discriminatory or derogatory behaviour by anyone online or on the air.

All complaints made to the moderation team will remain confidential and be taken seriously. The complaint will be treated appropriately with discretion. Should moderators consider it appropriate, measures they may take include:

  • the individuals may be told to apologise

  • the individuals may be told to stop/modify their behaviour appropriately

  • the individuals may be warned that enforcement action may be taken if the behaviour continues

  • the individuals may be asked to immediately leave the venue and/or will be prohibited from continuing to attend the event

  • the incident may be reported to the appropriate authorities

What does that mean for me?

All members must not engage in any intimidation, harassment, or abusive or discriminatory behaviour.

Here are some examples of behaviours that are not appropriate:

  • offensive verbal or written remarks related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race or religion;

  • sexual or violent images in public spaces (including presentation slides);

  • deliberate intimidation;

  • stalking or following;

  • unwanted photography or recording;

  • sustained disruption of talks or other events;

  • intoxication at an event venue;

  • inappropriate physical contact;

  • unwelcome sexual attention;

  • sexist, racist, or other exclusionary jokes;

  • unwarranted exclusion from conference or related events based on age, gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion;

We want everyone to have a good time in our group.
