TBH adults ask shitty questions too.

Number #2 doesn't exactly absolve them them one bit, except them getting the money stolen or being scammed themselves for the most part. As I said Fuck up which implies its still somebody's fault. Them shutting doesn't doesn't exactly prove it was a scam and could be just as much of a sign of some big Fuck Up that…

Gotta remember also that this was being held in New York City wouldn't be surprised if it actually would be more. Also con's have been going up in price as of late.

Mineorama? More like Mineopockets.

I would buy that theory that is wasn't their fault IF they didn't turn tail and shut down their twitter. That's nothing but a bad sign.

Somebody's getting arrested. WATCH...Right after they start investigation they'll find the "organizers" never even made attempts to actually do any organizing, period. They should have receipts for rentals, equipment, etc etc...This guy is a fucking idiot.

Sad thing is that there were probably a lot of parents purchasing tickets for their kids, who maybe wanted to meet their favorite celebrities. Not only are these kids now disappointed, but their parents are now entirely convinced to never do something like this again, even with a reputable Convention.

Meh, i'd rather people post something more relevant then a "first" or "I agree" quickie message to get post count up. Shit like that annoyed me back in my forum days and led to a whole other elitist stance of "why should I bother listening to what this person has to say, their post count is only at 123."

On July 8, organizer Lou Gasco added on Twitter that the convention had been delayed because "financing fell through," and promised that he'd send out an update with specific instructions for refunds.

Authors of Jezebel (and all Gawker sites, really) - please remember to go through the comments and approve people. It can be frustrating being a person who shows up too late to a discussion and so your comment is ignored. It can be doubly frustrated to be a person who is mainpaged on multiple occasions but lacks…

Yeah, I'm bummed about heading back to the land of grey. At least if they could give a simple explanation of how to get ungrayed. I have posted a lot over the years and am clearly not a troll, but I keep getting bumped into the grey and don't really understand how one becomes approved.

These trolls didn't even use Burners, oddly enough! That's why the solution has to be for all types of Kinja accounts.

No - I noted that the old system was one where only standard liberal views were allowed

I got unfollowed by Jezebel and back in to the grays shortly before the new commenting system happened and I was irrationally bummed. Not sure why it happened, but I had been unnecessarily snarky on a post so maybe that was it. It was also right after the meowmeowbeanz episode of Community aired and I felt like a…

It will suck but at least the lefties won't be getting offended by unapproved viewpoints any more

I'm happy to see these changes and actually pretty curious to see how it plays out in my case. I used to be starred on 4 sites and then not in the next iteration. Now I'm a burner.

And most people won't. Which means that anything that the folks at Jezebel don't already like won't be seen.

A) Glad this is getting resolved (or at least properly addressed).

In other words, if you don't like something, nobody will ever see it. Great job. To kill offensive images from a few assholes, you will kill commentary from virtually everyone else.

Obviously this is the first worldiest of first worldy problems right now, but how do we know if we're going to be bumped back to the grays? I've managed to claw my way out of the land of the unapproved/unstarred and unseen something like three times over the last four years across comment system updates, and the…
