I also think there should be particular care when it comes to newcomers to the movement. I think there should be a strong norm against regular members hitting on/asking out new members before they have enough time to settle into the community.
I’m betting there have been many people who showed up once or twice to an EA event, got hit on a bunch of times, and immediately left the movement in annoyance.
Strong agree, with obvious exceptions for things like “actually I already knew this person before and was going to ask them out anyway” (though even then it might be best to not ask them out at the event).
