That idea has got to be the silliest thing I've ever heard. It would completely take away the ability of the providers/hobbyists to follow their 'gut instincts.' Of course, a little notice is always nice if you can't make it.
There is a reason they call us independent--we don't have bosses. The penalty for serial ncns-ers is getting a flaky reputation and losing business. That should be sufficient.

I waited for a few minutes to watch the guys and sure enough, one of them pulls out his badge on a neck rope to adjust his earwig. It was a sting. When I passed by again, I noticed a "stop-stick" behind a bush near the gate. Glad I had my spidy senses turned on...
This was not a real "no show" but if the option were not available...
