Not to be "holier than thou" because I make mistakes all the time. But did I just see a thread by a moderator that named three fans who won tickets to the Vegas show but were unable to show up (for whatever reason)?
This is inappropriate behavior and the moderator who made this mistake (albeit it a relatively speaking minor one) may wish to apologize for posting the names in that context. I know this board can be stressful (i.e., people breakin' rules, being rude, unappreciative of your excellent work etc.). However, please try to rise above that crap and do not lower yourself to violate your own ethical system. As another poster stated those three people who did win tickets but were not able to make it could have had quite legitimate reasons (e.g. car problems, family illness etc.). Regardless, it is not the winner's responsibility to find a replacement. An organized system could have been in place where the winner must show up 30 minutes before the show or risk having their ticket given away to a stand-by fan.
Just my thoughts. I do apologize if I am somehow mistaken or do not know all the facts. Perhaps a moderator did not post the winners names who were no-shows (i.e., maybe I misread the post which seems to have vanished or a hacker is pretending to be a moderator - unlikely I know).
