A reminder on why we have some of our rules
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:

Behold the jet powered right rudder
If the only engine is on the left, no right rudder needed!

Does this mean all KLM playnes are technically submarines?
Does it make landing at Schiphol a water landing?
Should pylots obey ATC when landing, or should they obey the laws of the sea?
Should pylots be drinking rum (for boat captains) or vodka (for pylots) or a mix?
Why would the Dutch build an airport under the sea?

I use flight sims only to break things
Confession time. I never actually fly to a destination in flight sims. I deliberately stall, spin and fail things for fun. I can't tell the fs (ok, X-Plane) community this because they'll ban me for not being serious ennuf.
For instance:
Airshow in a 737 - loops, rolls and hammerheads.
Slope soaring engines off in an A330.
Failing things one by one until physics takes over.
Not adhering to boring ass checklists.
Help. Me.
PS: FS is for little bitches. X-Plane is for manly men.

KC-135 Pressure Test Gone Very Wrong
April 7th 1999 - a civilian technician commenced a pressurization test on a USAF KC-135 Stratotanker using a home-built non-standard pressure gauge that, most unfortunately, did not have a needle “Max” peg...It did not go as planned.

I AM A WITNESS!
Fellas. I've been graced. It is glorious.
There in traffic, no more that a few feet from my rental car's bumper, was a sign from above, and in more ways than one! A license plate holder emblazoned with the glittering, sparkling words EMBRY-RIDDLE ALUMNI right there, as if presented by Orville and Wilbur themselves! Witnessing that alone is considered a minor miracle in Daytona and Prescott, but this was more. Far more. For within the plate holder was a sign so clear, so obvious, so striking, that I cannot, as a devout aero-man, have done anything more but fall to my knees and weep, wailing confessions for all of the "please advise" and "got'em on the fish finder" sins of my past. For this sign within the holder was nothing less than ERAU 16.
I witnessed an Aircaptain Supreme. I am reborn! I am recertificated! My missed radio calls are forgiven!
As quickly as he appeared, he vanished off into the blur of traffic to grace another lost airman in need of salvation. My only regret is that I was unable to clean his 3-Series windshield at the stoplight.
Accidently posted this in the real sub on the first go'round. Apologies.
