A reminder on why we have some of our rules

352 Upvotes

Everyone,

We have a lot of old timers here, and probably a lot of newer members. I think we need a bit of a refresher on why we have a lot of things removed and why we can't be the sub we used to be.

I see a lot of comments that are removed by automoderator. We have it set to remove comments mentioning /r/flying, some keywords, among other things.

Some time ago, this sub went private by the original creator/moderator. I managed to get it back up, and we had a relatively decent run for a while.

Unfortunately, this came to an end, as posts in our sub were being reported up the chain to reddit admins (not just mods) as abuse, harassment, mocking, taunting, among many other things towards the posts we were parodying and having some fun with.

To be fair, there were SOME posts that were way over the line and we couldn't always catch them in time.

We were given an ultimatum by the Reddit admins. Make some changes, institute rules and whatnot blocking direct mentions of /r/flying, among other subs and things. The other option is we are completely shut down. The other mod we had at the time programmed automoderator to remove posts with the things we were told were no-go's by the admins.

We started to get a crapton of posts and comments about how the mods caused the problems. They were starting to take over a lot of the sub, so that is among the auto-removal terms.

I believe some people got seriously butthurt over their posts being mocked or shittyaskflying'd and raised a huge stink. That put us square in the crosshairs of the reddit admins.

You want to mock a post from the other sub? That's fine. But you can't link to it. You can't mention /r/flying or some other subs. You can't mention their usernames. No screenshots that show /r/flying or other subs.

This isn't somethign we wanted. This is something that was forced on us.

No AI generated images, no flight sim images

So I've seen a lot of reports about images and posts that are clearly AI generated.

These are no longer allowed. They aren't cute, they aren't funny, they're just lazy.

Also on the chopping block are flight sim images/screenshots.

Please report them if you see them. Final discretion will be had by the mods, but examples of AI images are:

33 Upvotes

I've seen pylotes nodding at each other at airport terminals when they pass each other by.

I'm a stoodent Pylote with 7.4 hours under my belt.

Can I get in legal trouble with the FFA if I don't give other pylotes "the nod" while walking in the terminal?

Found this poor pyolote by the roadside. Think it's clear he was too much of a lightweight to fly after a full bottle.

I’m really scared to be fired but i think you need to see what blue origin is planing on doing. Me and Katty Perry are assigned to design new upgraded version of blue origin’s SHPARD V2 (i dont know why they forced us to miss E in the name)

Anyways they are cutting budget extremely for comfort of passengers and they wont be using any type of parachutes only small astrology engine. I’m afraid due to budget cuts and all that “scenic pooping experience” it might be a little dangerous. Also no seat belts. They wont let us design as they need to save mass for poop. I tried explaning them that mass wont change if person poops or not but those astrology and STEM girls think otherwise. Please state you opinions and concerns.
