I understand exactly what you're talking about, and I actually had a couple attempt to steal my spot last night while I was saying hi to someone a few rows back. It was pretty funny what happened when I got back, but suffice to say I didn't say much and they left pronto.
I have no problem with self-policing, it's necessary. But take a person like me. Did you see me in the line? Probably not. What if I left the pit before you arrived, went to the bathroom, and then came back after you had set up? You wouldn't have known me from a person who had lined up, and you'd likely assume that I just popped up out of nowhere. I'm passing you, going straight back to my spot on the rail, front row! Do you see what I mean here?
K - I don't think ppl are seeing my point.
When U stand and wait for like 3 hrs, U get to know the ppl around U - U talk to them and know who is with them, etc.
Look at my earlier post from where I was - this couple tried to bring in 2 others that they supposedly knew with like 5 mins to go - AFTER we stood for 3 hrs. Should I have allowed it - NOT A CHANCE. We stood there and waited.
