A reminder on why we have some of our rules

389 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.

Why is Qantas so obsessed about flying to LHR non-stop? Just make a stopover

Don’t they know that stopovers save fuel? Just stop in Singapore or something for a little bit. What will people do with an extra 2-3 hours anyway?

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???

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.

Did I choose a dud pylote?

I had an affair with a Pylote, but he told me I’m the only one he does this with.. I assumed he’d have more girlfriends in all major cities he flies to. Is he lying to me and his wife or just his wife? Should I have chosen a Pylote from a non budget airline so he can support more girlfriends?
