John -
I don't remember my exact words, but the sense of what I said doesn't
differ much from the other responses to this thread.
I would personally advocate a variation on 1) where the first step is to
make sure that the person concerned is fully aware of the requirement for
sign in, and point out to them that approach 1) would be the result on any
future infringements.
The primary problem here is getting any kind of accurate information on
abusers - unless you are specifically looking to see whether person X has
signed in and is absent, its pretty difficult to tell, especially in a room
with a good number of people in it. So while 3) might be desirable, I don't
believe it is possible to instigate any realistic tightening, short of some
kind of electronic tagging, which isn't going to happen. So I believe the
main weapon we have is to embarrass the persons concerned into behaving
appropriately.
Regards,
Tony
