Roped off entire section to save seats
That was kind of you to leave the seats alone, as some have expressed they would throw the seat pads in the trash. No one knows when one may have a medical issue or that this was the only time one was to show family what a great place they live. Your so right, removing the seat pads would have would have changed the entire evening. I'm not a fan of saving seats, but then some think they own certain areas of the dance floor. Most of the time I stay away, but, when I don't want anyone to sit in my seat I bring my own chairs.

Last night at LSL had event staff making sure people did not set their chairs in a vendor area. They politely explained why and people relocated. So there was some policing in place.

It might seem a fine line, but I would not remove (or especially throw away) personal items of any sort, including seat pads. Rope, string, or trash bags do not qualify.

So if 2 chairs have seat cushions on and they are dancing or getting a hot dog how do you know they won't be back in 2 minutes. roping off I can see should not be done but seat cushions should be left alone.

I would agree with that. As long as there are not twenty seats together with seat cushions at at 4:00.

I agree with you and Dr. Boogie that seat cushions, hats or coats on seats, or other means of temporarily holding a seat or two while you dance, get a hot dog, talk to a friend, go off to the restroom, or any other legitimate reason why one needs to be away from one's seat on a temporary basis is fine. It's the roping of blocks of seats by one person that is the issue here.

I would never dream of taking a seat once the music starts. Then, I assume folks are off dancing, etc. However, seats saved with something tied on them or objects in the seats at 3:30 and no one there are fair game in my book. I would take all objects and pile them in one seat. At least I'm not tossing them into bushes, although that is tempting.

Pulling a piece of rope off a bunch of seats is one thing. Moving someone's cushions off a seat, regardless of the time, is something else. I would never touch anyone's possessions, such as a cushion.

Isn't it amazing. This thread has almost 14,000 views and still nobody with any authority will do ANYTHING about it... including something as simple as a few signs (which would discourage at least some of the people).

There is no (or little) upside to doing anything.
