Signs were phased out sometime after 2000 from what I heard. Not really 100% sure of why they were phased out, but I think it might have had something to do with a safety issue. Or maybe the price for poster board went up and Elan didn't want to shell out the extra $$ for them.
When I was there, there was no costumes, yet Marc used to talk about them along with other Directors when abusing a teen at a GM.
At times, Marc brought back the dunce cap for people who got bad grades, and made people carry around certain objects from their prospective department if it was not cleaned right, or the department was a mess.
I would describe that era as to being on a roller coaster of rules,sometimes they went balastic with L.E.'s and other times they didn't. I do remember clearly about the Directors talking about the "Old school days" whereas they issued out customes on a regular basis to those that did not follow the rules and slacked off.

Thanks for answering my question. Not even signs,wow. That's cool for you guys. When I was there I'd say 20% of the house was on some type of LE. What did the Comm. Dept do all day? I wish I had a little video of that shit, I'd put it on you tube.

To those of you who never had the pleasure, this was a humiliation few will forget.   I'll never forget being driven into Poland and seeing the insanity for the first time. I just looked at my parents with a "what the fuck have you done" look on my face.

The question is why they dressed people up in stupid costumes? I know for a fact that they (Staff) got a great laugh out of it. Especially people like Marc, who was so strung out on dope, made his high that much more entertaining to see people looking their worst in some stupid costume. Someone please tell me the therapy in that?

Bump

What's the deal with customs and signs?

This sounds like those shame punishments parents have been inflicting on their kids(stand on a street corner with a sign), they've been showing up in the news a lot lately. Is the world sick or stupid?
