First part is harsh but at its core not too unreasonable, I guess?

The latter tweet, however, misses that background checks are not normally intended to catch idealogues. Nothing against her but... it's probably not a criminal record or lack of training people are worried about in this context and kinda silly to say such. It's the proven presence of culture-war-captured individuals.

No.

So nothingburger right?

• No grand plan to spreadsheet visitors
• Not targeting specific fanbases
• Refunds offered

In the end, it was just a (admittedly big) lack of communication?

My current guess is californian intelligence at work. Let's see if Phase has any issues with their concert next week

OffKai released a statement in their FAQ section regarding the ID problem. It seems it was as most attendees/talents expected and was intended to prevent scalping and protect talents from the insane fans who'd try to do things with gifts to stalk them. They're offering refunds for those who felt blindsided by the policy being announced too late. They also are making sure the only people who see your ID are the same people you'd be showing it to at the entrance anyways, so the only people who'll know are the same people who already know.

But I basically agree with Armchair - the best way for OffKai to avoid any future drama is a good amount of transparancy from their staff about who's on it and their credentials, as well as actively trying to root out any potential moles on their staff. Whether they'll actually do that? I assume them having to release a statement like this meant that enough people who were actually attending the con were concerned for them to care. So it's a better likelihood than the last few years, but not by much.

Calling it bullshit, you should prevent scalping by requesting the id/passport when you buy the ticket, NOT after buying the ticket.

If you want to establish this SOP, please follow throughly instead of half-arse it.

At this rate i believe the troons in Off-kai is trying to establish gayops by introducing this rule. They gonna use this info to hard dox ppl or groom underages.

Just fuck off

There's probably a couple of things. The first is some sort of scalping prevention makes sense, but not having that before the launch was incredibly dumb. Which is why it was really suspect. Offering refunds points to them just not thinking through what they were doing, but it doesn't change the issue around IDs and their volunteer staff having prog-brained buffoons that are security risks to people for political reasons.

I shall note if anything came of a Doxxing via their check-in system, oh boy would they not want the legal ramifications, so it strikes me they've gotten the message. However, it also means that it'll be a target point for the blue-haired freak types.
