    Indefinite detention as LART? I don't think I've ever seen anyone make that connection.

Yeapers. I'm not a BOFH, honest! We have three days of gaming, and to make things run well, the 2x4's and ball bats come out. You do something that impacts other people's fun and enjoyment that they paid for, we have a chat.

edit to add, in 15 plus years of LAN parties, I can number problem jackasses under 4-5 incidents. One of those was accidental, another was a fellow security IT guy testing to see what he could get away with. The actual real 'bad guys' don't go and stir shit at an event with 300 or more gamers all of whom now have access to your physical gear and person. We've not even had fist fights at any of our events that I am aware of. These guys talk smack online then duke it out in a game or dozen.
