Code of Conduct // Rules
Our principles for an appreciative and respectful coexistence at NACHTI
Code of Conduct
General Approach
Approach each other with attentiveness, empathy, and responsibility.
We aim to create a safer space for all our guests and staff. To achieve this, it is crucial that everyone treats each other considerately and takes responsibility for one another.
Respect and reflect on your own boundaries and needs, as well as those of others.
Regardless of the situation, remember: only "yes" means "yes." Consent requires a clear and explicit agreement from all parties involved. Ask what is acceptable for the other person. This consent can be withdrawn at any time without fear of repercussions.
This applies to all unsolicited actions (e.g., approaching, commenting, etc.).
Inclusivity & Language
We do not make assumptions about a person’s gender, background, or identity.
We strive to use gender-sensitive language. Language evolves and reflects society, and we aim to address and acknowledge all individuals appropriately.
If you're unsure how to address someone, ask them about their pronouns or preferred form of identification.
Zero Tolerance for Discrimination
We do not tolerate any form of fascist, sexist, racist, ableist, queerphobic, transphobic, or otherwise discriminatory behavior. This includes verbal, physical, and psychological violence. Anyone violating these principles will be excluded from the event.
Discriminatory behavior includes, but is not limited to:
Unsolicited comments about a person’s appearance or presumed sexual orientation
The use of discriminatory language, jokes, symbols, or clothing
We prioritize the perspective of those affected.
If someone feels their boundaries have been crossed, their experience is valid. We will not engage in "investigative inquiries" but will instead provide immediate support to the affected person to ensure their safety and well-being at the festival.
Responsible Consumption
No open consumption of illegal drugs. While we want everyone to feel free, we expect mindful and responsible behavior regarding substance use. Boundaries—both personal and legal—must be respected.
Spiking is absolutely forbidden!
Giving substances (including alcohol) to others without their knowledge is a serious violation and will result in immediate expulsion and police involvement. Look out for each other: do not leave drinks unattended, and intervene if you witness suspicious behavior.
If someone seems unwell, offer help or seek assistance.
Safety & Respect for the Environment
Respect the site and nature: Keep it clean and help us preserve its beauty. Have fun, but do not destroy things.
Security and fences exist for a reason: They are not there to harass you but to ensure safety.
Weather precautions: In case of storms or critical weather, we may need to close certain areas. A car is the safest place during lightning storms, as buildings do not have the capacity to shelter everyone.
Drug dealing is not tolerated: Dealers will be removed immediately.
Respect decorations and installations: They are not meant to be climbed on or taken home. NACHTDIGITAL’s decorations belong in Olganitz, not in private homes.
Camping is for resting, not for raving: Please leave your sound systems at home.
Fire safety: The summer weeks before the festival are often hot and dry. Be mindful of where you dispose of cigarette butts and any flammable items.
Let’s create an environment where everyone feels safe, respected, and free to enjoy the festival!
