Couldn't agree more, measures like this prevent a few idiots from ruining an entire con.

Wow. Awesome idea.

is life means your whole life that sounds to extreme I don't know what hotels have to do with conventions but sounds to me they shouldn't mix

No one is entitled to going to a convention though.
If their behavior destroys the property of a hotel who is willing to assist in hosting a convention and give room discounts to the many attending I think it is only fair that a convention and hotel works together especially if it will hold people accountable.

There are still plenty of other conventions so they would be blacklisted from every convention in existence.

the "discounts" that hilton gives are a joke, but at the same time, its no excuse for ppl to trash there rooms

*wouldn't be

Every convention needs at least one hotel. Most cons are not big enough to occupy a convention center, and some places do not have them. Plus you need deals with hotels to get a good rate. Otherwise, it would be too expensive for people to stay there, especially in major cities.

As for the AC policy, I'm not sure that is exactly the case. The issue was with attendees getting angry when maids ignored the "Do Not Disturb" sign after being left on the door all day. Then some of the attendees retaliated. That was the only time I know of where AC was threatened with expulsion. The policy is maids at all hotels must enter the room at least once during the day to make sure all is well and do any cleanup to keep things from getting out of control. That is the only response to Westin issues on their website. Was there some other policy that I didn't hear about?

Also, if a room is trashed, hotels have ways to charge the room owner for the damage. They should that and leave the rest of us out of it.

Many large hotels often host a variety of conventions (makes for great revenue).

While I don't agree with Kage a lot of the time, this is a system that should be implemented at any con, not just furry cons. As it hold people accountable for their actions, and cuts down on the amount of problems the con and hotel has to deal with. It also weed out a lot of the bad apples from the con too.

This is something that a lot of major non-furry cons already do. I'm surprised to hear that CrinkleCon wasn't already doing it.

Still won't go. Juried systems for choosing who can and can't deal at a con are crap. And I think Uncle Kage had the right method there. A little communication between parties can solve so many issues.

I would say as the room is registered to someone who has to show a credit card as a form of reserve on the room, that they should be billed directly, not the con. If they didn't do it. they are still responsible for the conduct in the room.
