Code of Conduct
Toilville is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of race/ethnicity or national origin, sex or gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, mental illness or neurotypicality, body size, caste, age, or religion. We acknowledge that cross-cultural communication can often be complicated and encourage everyone to consider the impact of their words and actions on those with different backgrounds and experiences. We do not tolerate harassment of members of our community in any form.
The Toilville Office Hours are open, kind, and inquisitive.
Our community comprises readers and authors from around the globe with diverse skills, backgrounds, and experiences. This Code of Conduct will help inform your interactions with us, whether you read posts, comment on them, interact with us on social media, or attend events where community members are present. It will also reinforce values that contribute to a positive environment.

- Be respectful of other’s time; if your question requires a more nuanced discussion, consider a private consultation.
Inappropriate behavior

- Public or private harassment.
- Defaming an individual or group or violating any trademarks or copyrighted material.
- Publishing private or identifying information or non-harassing communication without explicit permission.
- Dismissing or attacking inclusion-oriented requests.
- Continual disruption of talks, workshops, or other events.
- Offensive comments related to race/ethnicity or national origin, sex or gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, mental illness or neurotypicality, body size, caste, age, or religion.
- Threats or acts of violence.
- Deliberate intimidation.
- Encouraging any of the above behavior.
During office hours, this is not the place to discuss any of the above or their gray areas. However, the admins are happy to discuss incidents privately after an event.
Lawyering will result in your removal from the event.
Reporting harassment
Any participant with concerns, please immediately email a member of the Toilville Editorial Team If you believe someone is violating the code of conduct at hello@itstoilville.com.
All reports will be reviewed and investigated, resulting in a necessary and appropriate response to the circumstances.
If you feel threatened or violated due to intimidating, harassing, abusive, discriminatory, derogatory, or demeaning conduct, please immediately notify an editorial team member or contact us at hello@itstoilville.com. This applies to:
- Online and in-person interactions.
Consequences of Unacceptable Behavior
Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately. The Toilville editorial team has the right and responsibility to remove participants or other contributions that do not comply with this Code of Conduct or temporarily or permanently ban members for behaviors they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.
If a participant engages in unacceptable behavior, Toilville staff and any designated representatives may take any of the following actions, up to and including a temporary ban or permanent expulsion from the program or event, without warning and refund.
These actions may include, but are not limited to:
- A warning to cease their behavior and that any further reports will result in additional actions.
- Removal from an event with no refund.
- Not being allowed to attend future events, for some time or indefinitely.
- Suspension or deletion of accounts related to Toilville events, programs,
- committees, and platforms hosted or curated by Toilville – temporarily or indefinitely.
- Reporting behavior to the applicable authorities.
These don’t cover every possible act. We reserve the right to reject or redact any comments or posts violating our policies’ spirit and letter.
Please respect whatever rules your employer might have about communities like this. We want you to participate as much as possible, but not because you got fired and suddenly have a lot of free time on your hands. We’d prefer it if your employer got excited about the site and encouraged you to learn and share here.
Communities are about relationships.
That’s all! Do you have a suggestion on how we can make this better? Reach out! hello@itstoilville.com.
