It is interesting to see just how little Gen Con and the community on these forums seems to care about feedback and suggestions to fix problems at the convention, especially if they disagree with the "We have no problems Gen Con is the best quit your whining Yay Gen Con!" mindset.
Sure I could couch my criticisms while hiding around a "lanyard" joke, but really I am just annoyed with the moderators for not closing this thread as soon as it started. Basically this is just a reopening of already closed threads, and building on another thread that was pretty much another reopening of a closed thread.
Why should we bother giving feedback if Gen Con doesn't care? Why try to offer constructive criticism if the moderators don't care if people build threads around making fun of them? If I point out that this behavior isn't right and I get a backlash from these same people am I now the "problem"? If I defend myself will the thread get closed because it got "out of hand" or "off topic"? Will someone else be able to just start another thread all over again, but that is alright because they said "event tickets" instead of "lanyard"?
After having seen this I feel much better for sticking to my guns rather than caving because a couple of people on these forums disagreed with me.
Disagreeing with an idea is one thing, allowing people on your forum to just sit and make fun of those ideas is another. This is just sad.
Haha! Best joke post yet! Nicely done!
Is this the start of a new and improved pyramid?
I get that he's upset, but I think there needs to be understanding that there will always be issues both out of the control of Gen Con and within the control of Gen Con, and with 65,000+ attendees there is literally nothing anyone can do to prevent every single issue. This thread is for those of us who ride the wave of chaos and uncertainty, accept the world is imperfect, and have a laugh - all while getting soaked (and maybe a little dirty) along the way.Anyway...
New pyramid is best pyramid!
