Grandma's HouseAs many folks have probably found out the hard way, the room block for Big Bad Con has filled up. We're working our little goat tails off trying to get more rooms added, but it's slow going. Raiders are storming Oakland that weekend and instead of pillaging gold and treasures, they are taking up rooms at the Hilton (read: Football weekend).

The Big Bad Code

Jul 26, 2013
Some very smart folks like John Scalzi and Karina Cooper have pointed out the cons need to take a proactive stance to say up front: Don't harass people, it won't be tolerated. They also need a policy to back up that statement so con attendees and staff alike can hold any would-be harasser accountable.
