   First, participate in a cosplay activity is surely a glorious things to do, but during this activity, there are 4 important thing we should take into consideration.
 
1 Take pictures.
If you find some cosplayers’ costume is very beautiful and you want to take pictures of them, you should ask them for permission first, especially when you want to take pictures with them. If they do not want you to take pictures of them you should stop. In addition, when you take pictures you should noticed that there are other photographer there you should make sure that you do not interrupt them.
 
2 Do not judge cosplayers
We should know that the cosplay activity is a grand meeting that the cosplayers take part in by themselves, we should know that this activity is not a display show, not a performance. They love it and spend lots time on the costumes. We can see some one’s costume is definitely a cheap cosplay costume, do not say it out or even do not follow them and want show your cosplay costume to them and say that you order them from the on-line shop, the professional one, such as milanoo and cheaper and better than them. .No matter how they look, it is their interest. We should not judge them in private, in public or on the internet.
 
3 Talk with the cosplayers
If you want to talk with the cosplayers, you should notices whether it is available for them. We know that the cosplayers are exhausted to stand in such a long time, maybe they are tired and do not want stay much time here, or they have other invitation. If they do not want to talk to you, you should not follow them. You know it is really wired followed by others especially a stranger.
 
4 Pay attentions to the courtesy during the show time.
We can see that the cosplay activity is surely attracting millions of people, and also the space is limited, we should observe public order. When the show is going on, do not make a racket. The sponsor is surely rent a room for the clothing changing and makeup. If you want to change your clothing please keep the change room clean.
The cosplay activity is public gathering. We all should observe public order. Then we will enjoy the cosplay show.

Are you suggesting that I shouldn't follow cosplayers around? D:
Because that was the funnest thing to do at Kumoricon this year.
Please clarify, because I'm not sure what wires have to do with stalking people.

Where do you suggest I stand among the millions of people?
Is standing on top of other people acceptable?

Most people cosplay for fun but a lot of the people that do would consider a convention to be the perfect place to display their costumes. Why else would they go through so much work on one costume just because they wanted to wear it? They also want to show it off. That's why taking pictures is usually a wanted thing.

And then whats the cosplay contest for? :T

In other serious, on the news once they had this segment about "weddings for less" and they suggested buying a wedding dress off ebay.

or on the internet.

Um, actually, the Internet is the ideal place to judge cosplays.  It's a great way for others to learn what to do and what NOT to do.  (For example, MAN FAYE!!!)

You know it is really wired followed by others especially a stranger.

You mean "weird to be" not "wired."

The original poster in this thread is a human-assisted spam bot. The content, as with most of their posts, has been copy-and-pasted from elsewhere on the Internet, solely to make some "legitimate"-looking posts so the forum admins don't notice as easily that they are a spammer.

They have been banned, all of their other posts deleted (except this one as there have been replies, and also so other forum admins Googling on the text can see what happened here), and the ensuing discussion about the store they were spamming has also been deleted.

Please, people, report these threads so the moderators can take action.

We very aggressively screen new accounts for spam bots before approving them, by searching IP addresses and other methods. This one tried really hard to get through, by using unique IP addresses that haven't been spamming before. I still remember suspecting this account when it subscribed, but this one made a couple of real-looking posts beforehand so that I stopped watching it.
