For fairness, can't we deal with it when there is a specific problem
with an actual person or persons?

Rather than an accounting system to avoid some problem that may or may
not exist, why don't we talk about that specific issues at hand?

I personally think it would be awesome if people planned to have all
night hack sessions that including sleeping time. Why does anyone care
if someone has the _intent_ to sleep at Noisebridge?

Is the issue at hand really the act of _sleeping_? Or is the issue
_homelessness_ and the fear of abuse? Or something else?

All the best,
