[RC] Refusing Entry - k s swigart

Truman said:

It is too bad that there is a situation in the
Central region where a person or persons
are acting like jerks at rides. This is something
that has a way of making the ride less fun for
all involved and driving RM's off. However,
denying entry probably would not hold up to
a protest unless the behavior was particularly
egregious.

Actually, ride managers don't have to deny entry to participants they
don't want at their rides, they can just make it cost prohibitive.
There is nothing in the AERC's rules that says ride managers cannot
price discriminate (charge different amounts to different entrants) on
their ride entry fees.  Ride managers do this all the time by giving
discounts/free entries to early entrants, junior, ride managers, ride
helpers, etc.

If you don't want somebody to come to your ride, just tell them that
"for riders determined to be rude and abusive to ride management, the
entry fee is $1000."  And then, if they DO show up anyway, at least you
have been paid $1000 for putting up with them.
