We will make it more clear to them next year, although you're likely to still get questions, because we've noticed not everybody reads all their e-mails. Our existing press kit does state that they are subject to the same rules and regulations as regular members, including bag checks, but I can make a point to put that information out separately closer to the convention as a reminder.

I think this is probably the most appropriate place to post this. For those who might not know, I'm the head of Otakon Press Relations. I've heard from a couple departments about registered members of the press -- the ones with a green flag on their badge -- causing some trouble during Otakon. If you've had such an experience, please contact me with as detailed a description of the individual and what they did as possible. Though it's too late to revoke their status this year, it can certainly impact whether we have them back. the best way to reach me is to e-mail me: awilson@otakorp.org.
