I generally agree with this post. In my experience with several events operating under this rule:′
1. Many people disregard the rule or don’t take it very seriously.
2. Others may not hear that the rule is in effect at all, especially if they arrive late or otherwise miss orientation.
3. This creates a negative selection effect where the only ones openly discussing specifics of an event that is covered by the rule are those who don’t take the rule very seriously—generally speaking, these are not the people who would be most optimal as the public face of the event.
I do think the principle behind the rule is useful, but in practice I have noticed that it often seems more of a hindrance than a boon. I somewhat worry that having multiple rules will increase noncompliance or misunderstandings, however, which seem frequent even as it stands.
