How we keep WeyFurs safe, welcoming, and fun

Last updated: March 2026 • By attending any WeyFurs event you agree to these rules.

WeyFurs events are private community gatherings. We want everyone to have a great time in a safe, inclusive space. These rules exist to protect attendees, our relationship with venues, and the future of the community. Ignorance of the rules is not an excuse.

General Conduct

Baseline expectations for all attendees at every event.

  • Treat all attendees, staff, and venue personnel with respect and decency.
  • Drink responsibly and know your limits.
  • No fetish wear in public spaces. Collars are acceptable; leashes, harnesses, and other BDSM-related equipment are not.
  • Do not bring weapons or items that could reasonably be construed as a weapon onto the premises.
  • Political paraphernalia has no place at the meet.
  • Keep music players and personal devices at a volume that does not disturb others.
  • Follow all venue rules and comply with reasonable requests from venue staff at all times.
  • Commercial photography at events is strictly prohibited without prior written consent from WeyFurs organisers.

Hygiene and Comfort

Good hygiene helps keep meets comfortable and accessible for everyone.

  • Please arrive clean, in fresh clothing, and use deodorant where appropriate.
  • If you are wearing costume parts, keep them clean and dry. Fursuiting gets warm quickly, so plan for breaks and hydration.
  • Avoid strong lingering odours, including heavy fragrance sprays, as these can trigger discomfort for other attendees.
  • If hygiene becomes a welfare concern at an event, staff may ask you to freshen up before rejoining the group.
  • If you are currently unwell with flu-like or contagious symptoms, please skip the meet and join us next time.

Fursuits at WeyFurs

Rules specific to attendees in costume.

  • Please check the event details to see what type of fursuit is permitted. Fullsuiting isn't permitted within certain venues.
  • Suits must be appropriate for a public social environment. No overtly sexual or offensive costumes.
  • Costume adjustment areas (where available) are for attendees adjusting costume parts and their helpers only. No spectators, no photography inside the area.
  • No food or drink (except bottled water) in changing areas.
  • Never touch another person's fursuit without explicit permission.
  • If you require a handler, it is your responsibility to arrange this. WeyFurs staff cannot act as personal handlers.

Reporting Concerns

You don't have to handle problems alone.

  • If you feel unsafe or witness a rule violation at an event, speak to a WeyFurs staff member immediately. Staff wear identifiable lanyards/badges.
  • We take all reports seriously. Wherever possible, reports are kept confidential.
  • For after-event concerns, use our contact page.
  • We will not be drawn into personal disputes between community members. Reports should concern behaviour that directly violates these rules.
  • If you believe illegal activity has taken place, please also report it to the police.
  • Harassment of WeyFurs volunteers will never be tolerated. We are all unpaid volunteers who give our time to this community.
