FORUM RULES (UPDATED)

[FSXTB_#8_"Wildcat"]

These are the new forum rules to help better the FSX community. These do not stop anybody in their opinion on these forums. I "Maj. Wildcat" will be the only one allowed to delete or edit a post on the forums. If ever I feel your post needs to come down and it does not directly conflict with these rules then you will receive a notice before hand (with the reason) to where you will be allowed to explain to me why your post should be allowed to stay up. Besides anything you will receive a notice for, all other rules on the list will go as follows.

1. Offensive, derogatory language/cursing (this includes words blocked out with symbols) are no longer allowed on the forums such words will be deleted. If the entire post is focused on the word then the post will be deleted.

2. Fighting, arguing, flame wars, instigating - automatic suspension from the forums until further notice.

3. Denial or "put downs" of any pilot or team will be anywhere between a 1 day - 1 week suspension or more depending on the post. ( does not include everything, depends on how the post affects the topic )

4. Any posts to payware aircraft, viruses, or harmful websites are an automatic suspension from the forums until further notice.

5. There is a place to now test your signature please do so there and nowhere else. Testing signatures on other parts of the forums will cause deletion of the post. If the process continues then other repercussions will occur.

Please follow all of these rules. Any questions comments or concerns please ask.

Did you move all of the discussion concerning the opposition to these rules, or did you just delete it? I have backups of some of it, so I could re post if you did delete.


It's too bad that the FSX Thunderbirds care more about their own self image in the eyes of an imagined 5 year old than they do about the people who are actually active members of this community. This will end up hurting the FSX Thunderbirds in the long run. I thought we were a community of virtual fighter pilots, but it looks like we are just running a kindergarten.

Why start this again? Its a pointless/fruitless argument that should be locked.

divergent opinions are rarely pointless.

Wildcat. With all due respect. Please don't take this personally. However, you have made it clear that you are the assigned Officer in charge of these forums. Therefore, I will in response, direct the questions to you.

Cheers,

I was not deleting the other post because of the replies; it was just easier to keep track of this post after updating the rules of the replies and comments. You guys can repost your opinions on this set. The majority of the people said the penalties were harsh and therefore I changed them. I asked in the other post and nobody replied, what would you guys like the rules to be? Keep in mind this is for the better of the public as a whole. Garner I know you don't like it, but from my point of view all you are doing is stating the problem and not giving any solutions. I understand full that you do not like them and I am trying to compromise, but you have to tell me exactly what you are trying to fix. These rules are not just for our self image but the image of the community as a whole. There are so many people who do not fly on FSX that view these forums and see what we are like.

Air Chief, those have not been changed due to the fact that these rules are not finalized yet and I am trying to get the communities opinion. I am not here to make enemies but to improve the forums, and after this is complete I will work on organization of the forum also with the communities input.

Hope this answers any questions thus far.
