== Write up a code of conduct and use it to empower volunteers ==
After one problematic attendee came to the Chicago Python Workshop, they created a code of conduct. They based theirs on:
* The [http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Event_Guidelines Sample Code of Conduct] on the Geek Feminism wiki,
* The [https://us.pycon.org/2012/codeofconduct/ PyCon Code of Conduct], and
* The short but effective [http://codex.freegeekchicago.org/wiki/FreeGeekInfo/Policies/CodeOfConduct FreeGeek Chicago Code of Conduct].
You might enjoy reading the [[Chicago Python Workshop/Code of Conduct|resulting code of conduct]]. I especially like the procedures they've written out for [[Chicago_Python_Workshop/Code_of_Conduct/Staff_Procedures_for_Handling_Incidents|staff handling incidents]] and [[Chicago_Python_Workshop/Code_of_Conduct/Attendee_Procedures_for_Reporting_Incidents|attendees reporting them]], inspired by PyCon's.
It might seem like a lot of work, and it is probably a 10-30 minute investment to write a sample document, and a day's conversation on your staff mailing list. It's worth it to think about these before-hand.
== Kicking someone out of the group ==
