If the rule can't be enforced, I don't see how it's adequate to have it. Choosing to follow it would be entirely up to the media. And... well it makes the staff look kind of assholes.
I don't think any legitimate media with means would feel threatened by that rule. 'Yeah yeah we agree' and then you show whatever you want, because you have the journalistic right to. But of course you let them know you don't give a fuck after having the footage.
It was some greymuzzle experienced in organizing cons, Flip, who said (here): "Convention staff is there to mostly identify and inform, not enforce." "With a realistic understanding of how power flows [...] it seems easy to conclude that staff cannot enforce behavior. This statement is alien to most furry conventions, but is the basis of good relations for many conventions."
If I believe a point I want to address in the fandom is important enough, such as the one Video wanted to address, I might be glad to be banned from a con in exchange for my passion project, as you say GreenReaper. Even more important, these rules hurt furry fans a lot more than regular media, because regular media certainly gives less of a fuck if they're banned after-the-fact from a con.
