Any other activity deemed detrimental to the event by any event committee member or event security.

MEMBERSHIP MAY BE REVOKED ON SECOND OFFENSE OF ANY OF THE ABOVE.

C.

MEMBERSHIP SHALL BE REFUSED TO ALL OSFCI EVENTS FOR THE PERIOD OF ONE YEAR FOR:

B.

MEMBERSHIP SHALL BE REFUSED TO ALL OSFCI EVENTS AS LONG AS DEBT (as specified above) IS OUTSTANDING. IF A PERSON COMMITS MULTIPLE OFFENSES, MEMBERSHIP SHALL BE REFUSED FOR ALL OSFCI EVENTS FOR THE PERIOD OF ONE YEAR. SUCH A DECISION IS NOT A DETERMINATION THAT THIS PERSON IS GUILTY OF ANY CRIMINAL ACTS; IT'S SIMPLY THAT THE LIKELIHOOD REACHES A LEVEL AT WHICH OSFCI FEELS TO PROTECT THE CONVENTION OSFCI WOULD WANT TO HAVE THIS PERSON EXPELLED.

III. MISCELLANEOUS NOTES

A.
