I also see that a lot of the issues were predictable from last year’s comments but were not addressed.
This is my fault. I was the lead organizer for Petrov Day this year though wasn’t an organizer in previous years. I recalled that there were issues with ambiguity last year, which I attempted to address (albeit quite unsuccessfully), however, I didn’t go through and read/re-read all of the comments from last year. If I had done so, I might have corrected more of the design.
I’m sorry for the negative experience you had due to the poor design. I do think it’s bad for people to find themselves threatened by social consequences over something they weren’t given proper context for.
If I’m involved in next year’s Petrov Day, I plan on there being consent mechanisms, as you suggest.
