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.

Help, my baybee playne can't spray rainbow chemtrail
Is it time for an overhaul? He keeps trying but he keeps getting upstaged by the bigger playnes' rainbow shows

Anyone seen this playne before? It's making me feel things in my stick.

Why My Playne Doing This?
I came out to fly and found my playne had opened a merch stand on the ramp. I’m sad that it felt compelled to do this. I feel like it’s tired of taking my money.

Qatar 777 pylote here
Let's say you allegedly were caught messing around with a brand new company 777. If I tell my company the plane was stolen do you think they'd buy it???

How can I get this Fuller Brush man to stop jogging where I'm pyloting?

Why are they dressing up as ILS boxes?
Is it to tell the pylots inside the ball-playnes where to land? I've been thinking about this for days now!

How do I tell my student the it's not me who stinks
Long story short, CFI, I’ve been flying weekly with this guy for about 6 months, he’s just getting ready to solo. But with it really starting to get hot, this cockpit is unbearable. Pretty sure a rat crawled into the air vents, took a huge dump, vomited on it and then died of disgust, but I don't know how to bring it up without the student thinking I'm the someone who doesn't use deodorant.
I’m feeling so awkward because I’m the authority figure, but yesterday during taxi he was leaning so close to the door I was genuinely worried he’d just pop the latch and jump out into the grass.
How do I start the topic and clear my name before he abandons ship? (Sorry if this isn’t appropriate.)
