 * Thank you for this great plugin.
    My users are allowed to post enents on frontend.
   How can I add the cancellation tag to the fronted editor?

 * “Cancelled” is nothing more than a new post status, in addition to “publish”,“
   pending” and “draft”, but after setting it, it executes other triggers as well.
   A default post status does not do that.
 * The front-end submission form does not allow changing of the post status, because
   that would mean the Admin will have no control anymore – every submitted event
   can be approved (published) immediately.
 * If you do want to let users change the post status you would have to change the
   submission form. And _that_ is a question for the EM team. 😉

 * Yes, I agree with you. But it would be great to have at least a button that triggers
   the Cancellation-Status. This could be realised by a shortcode. Just a proposal
   from my side to enhance the plugin.

 * I kindly disagree… 😉
    If there are (online) payments involved, the Admin (who
   is legally responsible for any refunds) has no idea the event has been cancelled.
   Which can result in customers not getting their money back and your company getting
   complaints and/or bad reviews.
 * I strongly believe that those kind of risks should only lie with the admin. That
   is also why users without the right capabilities can not publish an event.

 * There is no payment needed on my website. For me it would help to have such an
   option.

 * Ok, however what the purpose is, for my case I would appreciate a cancel-button
   for the event organisers. Can you tell me, how I can implement this?

 * You would have to apply custom coding to the front-end event submission form 
   to enable setting the post status. Note that, if not coded fully, users can then
   also select publish, pending and draft.
    That is the whole security the EM Devs
   have put in for a good reason.
 * How to edit the event submission form would be a question for the Events Manager
   team.
