And that is fine. We're not against the event, just want to help make the decision of attending or not an educated one. Some people might be on the fence about attending. They should have a chance to weigh the decision considering the information sourced in the current sticky. The regular sticky will be back tomorrow, until then, the "For Newcomers" section in the sidebar already lists it.
I get not wanting to push an agendA but if that were the case, the answer would be to not have it be a sticky at all. Not positive or negative. It would be treated equally to other topics here. It's just really strange to me that it is the first impression here
I disagree. You get a continuous influx of posts about the positives of these events. We felt that people have a right to be informed about the negative or suspicious, too, so that, again, they can make an educated decision, not an impulsive one. I feel it's important to raise the red flags, if any, if it's about people showing up for something in person.

What's the point in waiting? They have a right to organize and I think most of us here support them in their endeavors
