Time to rig a high voltage transformer wired to the side rails (they will have to be isolated from the lockdown bar and machine ground) operated by a wireless remote. As soon as you see some asshole abusing your machine, let 'em have it.

Quoted from McCune:

I seen MMr get its coin door kicked by a very high profile pinball guy @ Texas Pinball Festival .

I've had to repair many a kicked-in coin door. Sometimes the coin mechs are lying in the cash box.

Quoted from pinball_erie:

I go to the Ohio show every year and I see aholes doing this all the time to pins. I would not bring a real nice pin to any show due to this. The worst offenders were the people in the tournament. Having Beats on your head and wearing gloves "snicker" makes you look like an even bigger jerk when you're beating the hell out of a mint CFTBL...........tough guy. Not sure who the guy is, but I see him every year at that show and it's the same story each time.

Yep, we need the "Count Zappula" siderails.

Quoted from Bif:

I was also just watching some expo tournament qualifying coverage and saw some strange behaviour I'd never seen at any other tournament. It seemed many players who were going to have a void result would intentionally tilt the machine before walking away. While I don't think the machine is suffering any damage from this, it sure seemed like an A-hole thing to do to the next player up to leave the tilt bob swinging like that, perhaps to gain a competitive advantage. Just curious why this was rampant at expo, and I didn't see this happen once at two other circuit events I played at? I hope it's not some kind of new trend.

Yes, a new trend to maximize one's standings.
