[MR] suggestion for new cell phone rules at events

[Miriel]

And if the person of said phone that rings is waiting anxiously for
news of a loved one in a precarious situation, and normally cannot
tell when the vibration goes off? (or their garb disallows a good spot
to put said phone)  Or someone who's on call, but needed the break
from the real world?  EMT personnel who attend an event?

Interesting idea - but full of holes; and I for one, cannot afford
such a 'fine' if I have my cell on during an event and my parents or
my husband are in the hospital for any reason. (don't get me started
on why would I not be there, it's called useful distraction, and it
worked last year for my family at SSBB)

Miriel, totally against this idea
