Hello, I noticed my and one other persons comment cards for the Voice Acting with Hentai III panel were posted on 4chan.
I'm interested to know if the staff or goers of this con are aware that the comment cards from panels are being released to the public?
The reason why this bothers me is because I wonder if comments like these are glossed over by staff members or volunteers. I am aware that this is not normal behavior, and that it may be difficult to find out who did it, especially if it was a volunteer. I also understand that sometimes its hard to catch them in the act, no matter how hard you try.
Here are screenshots from the thread, showing that comment box cards are being revealed to the public. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/968jrk6ge5lgrav/AADhRxhPmetu0m5CLQMfHYNZa?dl=0
But this leads me to wonder:
Yes, I am the person who wrote one of these comments. No, I don't have the whole story. And honestly, if my comment card was considering by several people with power in the con as staff, but rejected anyways, I wouldn't be upset. At the end of the day, it all comes down to how they interpret what happened. If that was the case, the matter would be settled with dignity. As far as I know, when and if the comment cards got to the staff, that may be what happened. But I share this with the Fanime community because this raises questions. I don't expect answers I am not entitled to, and I am not trying to suggest changes before I know the full story, that is to say if I even get the full story ever, which I may not. I simply wanted to bring this to attention and discuss it.
Provided it's still up, here is a link to the posts in question. WARNING, needless to say this is a 4chan thread. It is on a blue (SFW) board but that does not mean that the moderators can catch everything that goes on in 4chans large community. If you know what 4chan is infamous for, you should know to stay away from this link if you aren't prepared for anything that might offend you or be inappropriate in your viewing environment. http://boards.4chan.org/cgl/thread/9032022/fanime-2016-the-aftermath#p9033158

But this leads me to wonder:
- Does this convention receive non biased info about the comment cards or not?
- Who, at the end of it all, reads and evaluates the comment cards, and what to do about them?
- Can volunteers be trusted with the comment cards, and can there be effective repercussions for people who only volunteer on account of the fact that they are temporary?
- What can and will be done to assure quality control?
- What can and will be done in regards to this incident?
