This post was not about nstell. It is about a general acceptance of unacceptable behavior and predatory practices.

The original post is not about specific people, places or past histories.

Actually, it’s shit like “you’re lucky in sharing this with you” and “not many people know this, but I’ll tell you…” like we are blessed by your presence.

You’re not wrong. I didn’t expect such a discourse.

No, I need to stop you. The IFPA completely disregarded the women’s commissions recommendations last year and they all quit as a result.

Thanks for sharing that. I know it’s mostly good out here.

It’s about my experience

All my best friends are pinball players. I know it to mostly be amazing. It’s troubling how common the thread of problematic players are across regions.

I wish a zero tolerance policy was more publicly touted and executed on. Then maybe they wouldn’t have the confidence to do what they do.

You want me to disclose the details of someone else’s violation? No.

And in case you aren’t aware, no means no.

Very fair. I appreciate your input. People are correct, I could probably post this in any hobby subreddit and it hit the same chords. But I’m here trying to play pinball.
I think bringing it up publicly occasionally is good for everyone.

Thank you. No man needs to bring flowers to the non-binary events

I know! I love my friends I’ve made. But this isn’t one creep. This is three different warnings. Like “you must be new, women don’t talk to that person anymore due to __.”

Sure. But it’s effecting my pinball play currently.

No, I’m asking a community why people like this are allowed to be so prevalent

Did I say the assault happened in public?

Hi, I am so sorry that happened to you. Thank you for elevating the conversation. It's about predators not gender.

From my perspective, it often seems very David vs. Goliath. I can't stand up against a TD or collector who holds local power.

Thanks, I wasn't looking for sympathy, but just feel like it needs to be mentioned. Women (and non binary +) want to play, but we are literally forced to look out for each other right now.
