@heretopleaseguy If you read the post this stemmed from in announcements the ID part comes into effect for April on Saturdays at first.

@freckledredhead  I for one will not be leaving my ID with anyone. Scan view it or come up with some sort of.membership card. But under no circumstances will I be leaving my ID with anyone. If this process takes place neither my wife nor I will be attending anymore.  I understand the intent but the process is flawed.

This was the first thing I thought as well when I read it.  In an attempt to create a method of targeting the few problem people, they might alienate the regulars. I've been charged wrong 2 of 5 visits now, I hardly feel like i want to trust my identity with them at the door.  Please don't create a barrier to entry for everyone, just to find a solution for a few people. 

Could someone direct me to what's actually happening and where are the possible changes listed?

@shytranskelly its under announcements under the same title

@freckledredhead Thank you so much for letting me know.

I do agree with the majority of people here, I will not leave my ID at the front desk as it's a security concern. I definitely don't mind showing my ID, but I will not leave at the front entrance, anyone could write down my info and use in an illegal way. Even if you think you know your employers, you just never know and I won't take that chance. And I also wanted to suggest maybe changing the policy and allowing trans woman and cross dressers like myself a discount on Trans night on Tuesday, if it will still be on Tuesdays. It shouldn't matter what gender my ID shows, as I do indeed identify as a trans woman no matter what my license says. 

I agree with all the changes except Leaving my ID to the front desk that’s a big No No… Upgrade instead buy a scanner to scan our IDs so that you can easily banned those creepy people… 

It's really encouraging to see Steamworks taking these steps! The upgrades sound fantastic, and it's reassuring to know that the new ID policy is in line with what's already practiced in clubs and similar venues. It's a great move towards ensuring everyone's safety and enjoyment. Really looking forward to experiencing all these positive changes firsthand. Here is to a safer and improved Steamworks!

I for one was very disappoint to see the curtains come off the one room that could be a near dark room. I wish that room was completely blacked out.

1. @hot-times that would ruin the buisness and its people with opinions like that that creepy dangerous people keep getting away with it

Just found the post for announcements "Shits Happening"

I wasn't sure the leaving ID at the front was in effect.  Now I see that yes for Saturday's.

So is it easy to draw a correlating line from this announcement and the fact that there is almost zero chat traffic talking about coming in this Saturday?

I'm not sure about this. May change my mind about this Saturday.

I'm sure the staff are great, honorable, and trust worthy, but I don't leave my ID with a gas station attendant for a few minutes to get gas, let alone for a few hours at a place I appreciate anonymity.

Instead of bashing management, (because I do see and understand what they are trying to do)

And not that it counts, or doesn't count....for anything...... I'm just curious if my opinion is rare or common.

Question:......

1) Leave ID at the desk.

2) Create a membership card system.

3) Leave things as is.

They are working a fast as they can to implement a membership program. Until that happens we will have to suffice with ids.
