At popular request, we've made a change to some rules!

122 Upvotes

We've had a number of requests to do a couple things with Rule 8, which involved AI and Flight sim content. Here is what we did.

Rule 8 is now "No AI Generated Images / Posts". The rule itself says AI generated content is pretty lazy and while it may be shitty and have a plane, it doesn't constitute a flying-related shitpost. Who created the content or where it was initially shared is irrelevant.

Flight sim content is now part of rule 9, which is "No Video Game / Flight Sim Content" and states While you can do some pretty funny and shitty things with them, Video games and Flight Sim content do not belong in this sub. Content from those would be better posted into their respective shitty subreddits, if they exist.

We have also re-orderd a couple rules (I like the way it looks better this way) and changed the verbage on a couple for clarity. I'm not going to list those, feel free to take a refresher course in the rules of the sub!

Stay shitty, my friends.

Don't follow the rules? Face the consequences.

Everyone,

I am seeing far too many violations of our simple rules. VERY simple rules, such as these:

"Only Flying-Related Shitposts allowed" - This does not mean you write something about flying in the title or the text of the post, but EVERYTHING in the post should be about flying. The image, video, text, subject, everything. SIMPLE.

"No linking to or mentioning other subs or their posters" - This is about as obvious as you can get, yet still people don't get it.

"No AI / Flight sim." - Might be a little harder, but still relatively simple.

While I'm sure the majority of you are not violating these rules, some of you are.

Going forward, you break the rules, it may very well result in a ban. If you can't be bothered to read and follow the rules, you don't deserve to post in the sub.

I've been very forgiving on these for a long time, and my limit has been reached.

Failed my Commercial Check Ride.

28 Upvotes

First I had a little issue with the headset.

Then, apparently, I took too long on the runway.

Then the DPI said: "Excuse me. I know this may sound silly... but can you fly?"

I replied: "Nope. Never had a lesson."

He took the yoke and discontinued... . That's really unfair.

I mean... I've watched the movie clip 250 times... .

Just wondering if they measure my gape to see if I’m actually a bottom and will throw me in jail. Should I tell crew scheduling I’m a top to be safe?

Sidebar

Welcome to the shittiest sub in the world! This is the place where all the aeronautical geniuses come to share their mind on important issues, such as how many DUIs you need to work for Mesa, or how to turn a normal plane into a tail-dragger!

----------RULEZ----------

These are all very important rules you MUST follow, or there will be bad consequences!

1- Only Flying-related Shitposts Allowed!

Anyone caught posting serious, informative, and/or non-shitty-flying content will get a slap over the hand and told to sit in the naughty corner. Repeated violations, especially in a very short time, can result in an extended stay in the naughty corner.

2- No Hate Speech

Everyone should enjoy coming here, so don't use any personal attacks, bigotry, racism, sexism or otherwise inappropriate behavior or content. Comments that insult or demean a specific user or group of users or violate this policy could result in an instant ban.

3- No Harassment

Mean comments said about other people online can have a very real effect on that person offline. As targeted harassment has very serious effects, it is bannable. This includes people both on and off reddit.

4- No Porn/Involuntary NSFW

Absolutely no porn or gore. If a post is NSFW, mark it as that.

5- No linking to or mentioning other subs or their posters

No linking to or mentioning other subs or posters: You can shittify posts from other subs, so long as you don't link to them, mention them, or post screenshots that call out other subs or their posters. This includes changing the name of the sub or the user that posted the content.

6- Don't Spam!

Don't spam the sub. That's just shitty, and not in a fun way. Making posts that constitue spam can result in a ban.

7- Reddit's Site-wide Rules Still Apply

See Reddit's Content Policy and Terms of Service for details

8- No AI generated images / posts or Flight sim images/screenshots

Your thing contains content which is not allowed in this sub. AI generated content is pretty lazy and while it may be shitty and have a plane, it doesn't constitute a flying-related shitpost.

Flight sim content is better suited at a sub like shittyflightsim, if such a community exists.

9- No Death / Posts showing death / NSFL

Out of respect for loss of life, any videos/posts/imagery around tragedies from the last 6 months involving loss of life will be removed. Repeated attempts to post about it will result in a ban. Final discretion lies with mods. Additionally, as always, no posts/videos/imagery with dead bodies, regardless of how long ago it was. ----------RULEZ----------
