Real talk can you now stop allowing Growly to reg at your con? I鈥檓 genuinely asking what it鈥檒l take.

Technically, nothing stops you from refusing reg to ANYONE. However, it raises lots of principal questions, such as ... what other rational reasons are there beyond the quite irrational public pressure. It's easy to ban someone because of public pressure.

But the real questions are a lot tougher to answer: Is that guy really dangerous, or is he just really unpopular? You don't want your con to become like that TV show where the audience can vote anyone off the island. It's a suuuuuper delicate questions.

We鈥檙e smart people. We can make decisions like this on a case-by-case basis. It鈥檚 not like taking a strong stance against child predators is gonna HURT cons.

Not directly. But dehumanizing these people to the point it's happening right now is also not quite as ethical as it seems. If you got like, 10000 people at your con, how many of those have had run-ins with the law. Where does the self-policing stop?

Wherever we want it to. Some crimes are irrelevant to con attendance. Some are VERY relevant. We can do this. We don鈥檛 have to make one perfect rule, and just because we want to ban pedos, doesn鈥檛 mean we need to ban jaywalkers.

But how about other serious crimes? Criminal Background checks for everyone now? Why single out child predators? You're making this wayyy to easy.

It IS easy. When a con is made aware of a dangerous person attending, they look into it, and act if necessary. Parking ticket? No. History of sexual assault? Maybe. Depends on the case. Not all cons will make the same calls either.
