F. Baum wrote: Jay, One word of caution. The management over there encorages a "comend in public, correct in private" policy. There is alot of miss information over there when you go to forums like the IFR one. Around here people who answer posts without much expertese on a subject are chased off (MX exepted of course). Over there I think the mediators have created a sterile envoronment where posting to something you know nothing about is not discouraged. In the interest of good information being passed on to people contemplating a move to the forums being addressed here, I am posting both forums rules as taken off each web site. First Pilots of America User's Agreement and Rules of Conduct for the Pilots of America Message Boards Use of and participation in the Pilots of America message board (hereafter referred to as "the forums") is contingent upon your acceptance of the following terms and rules. By participating in the forums, you acknowledge your acceptance of these terms. For purposes of this agreement, "Participant" refers to you. "the forums" refers to the Pilots of America Message board and all content associated withhttp://www.PilotsOfAmerica.com. Pilots of America is a non-profit organization operated by pilots for pilots. Rules of Conduct These forums are for discussing Aviation and Aviation Related Topics affecting pilots in the United States of America. These guidelines are posted as a code of conduct and if all of our participants will subscribe to this code of conduct most of these rules will be easily observed. Goals of the Forums Show respect at all times. Help build the Community. The success of our forums depends upon the quality posts of our participants. To ensure our success we are posting these guidelines so that all participants of the forums understand what is considered unacceptable behavior in the forums, which can result in a temporary suspension or a permanent ban. Personal attacks are prohibited. This specifically means any text/post that is blatantly attacking another person on or off the forum, especially in a personal way. Trolling is prohibited. Whenever someone is clearly, deliberately posting in a manner for the purpose of angering and/or insulting the other participants of the board, it is considered "trolling." The public posting of reputation comments received, which are considered by PoA to be personal and confidential, is considered ipso facto trolling. Trolling DOES NOT encourage further discussion in the long run; it only encourages personal attacks (if left unchecked). Solicitations and Advertisements are prohibited except in designated areas, if provided. Private Messages received on these Forums are to be considered private and are not to be posted publicly unless the sender of the private message agrees. Participant shall not post messages containing personal phone numbers or addresses other than their own. Bans and warnings are not to be discussed on the forums. Any inquiries or comments or bans are to be sent in private messages or via email. A moderator may choose to publicly inform the participants of a forum about bans and warnings if this is in the interest of the forum. Posting of pornography, racist or otherwise discriminating remarks, threats to cause physical or mental harm, extreme offensive language, material that breaks any law or otherwise totally unacceptable posts or links to pages that contain the aforementioned material may result in an immediate ban from the forums. Deliberately circumventing the censor filter is prohibited. Spamming the forums is prohibited. Not responding to or ignoring moderator warnings can lead to suspension. Off Topic (OT) are not prohibited, but should be posted within reason. There are some topics that are not appropriate for the forums. All posts are subject to these rules. Excessive OT posts will be dealt with on a case by case basis. All Forums have a main topic. When starting a new thread, make sure you do so in the proper Forum. ------ and second, The Purple Board; "Moderators oversee specific forums. They generally have the ability to edit and delete posts, move threads, and perform other manipulations. Becoming a moderator for a specific forum is usually rewarded to users who are particularly helpful and knowledgeable in the subject of the forum they are moderating." There is absolutely nothing unusual about either forum. I've seen exactly 0 deletion or censuring of posting on either forum by the administrators. All they ask is that dialog be civil. This has been my experience so far, and all of it has been good! -- Dudley Henriques Thanks for posting this. I found the "correct in private" thing on a sticky on one of the forums. Have not had time to checkout the purple board yet. |

It's not all that bad really, at least I've found it to be a good venue. One thing; don't get overly impressed with the CFI, ATR, vs PPL thing. I've seen ATR's and CFI's who couldn't fly their way out of a paper sack standing right next to Private Pilots who could fly better inverted than any of them could fly right side up :-) In the end analysis, it's the quality of the information, and ONLY the quality of the information that matters. -- Dudley Henriques |

Not like going to my home (Kidding). Good luck and if I get some time
at OSH I will come over and check out your party. Sounds great! Given the sad passing of this group, we're opening the party up to Pilots of America, the Cherokee Pilots Association group, and the Ercoupe Owners Group, too. It should be a lot of fun... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Only because moderated web forums don't allow banal little wannabe trollie ****wits like you to whine in stupidity. -- Onideus Mad Hatter mhm ¹ x ¹ http://www.backwater-productions.net http://www.backwater-productions.net/hatter-blog Hatter Quotes ------------- "Don't ever **** with someone who has more creativity than you do." "You're only one of the best if you're striving to become one of the best." "I didn't make reality, Sunshine, I just verbally bitch slapped you with it." "I'm not a professional, I'm an artist." "Your Usenet blinders are my best friend." "Usenet Filters - Learn to shut yourself the **** up!" "Drugs killed Jesus you know...oh wait, no, that was the Jews, my bad." "There are clingy things in the grass...burrs 'n such...mmmm..." "The more I learn the more I'm killing my idols." "Is it wrong to incur and then use the hate ridden, vengeful stupidity of complete strangers in random Usenet froups to further my art?" "Freedom is only a concept, like race it's merely a social construct that doesn't really exist outside of your ability to convince others of its relevancy." "Next time slow up a lil, then maybe you won't jump the gun and start creamin yer panties before it's time to pop the champagne proper." "Reality is directly proportionate to how creative you are." "People are pretty ****ing high on themselves if they think that they're just born with a soul. *snicker*...yeah, like they're just givin em out for free." "Quible, quible said the Hare. Quite a lot of quibling...everywhere. So the Hare took a long stare and decided at best, to leave the rest, to their merry little mess." "There's a difference between 'bad' and 'so earth shatteringly horrible it makes the angels scream in terror as they violently rip their heads off, their blood spraying into the faces of a thousand sweet innocent horrified children, who will forever have the terrible images burned into their tiny little minds'." "How sad that you're such a poor judge of style that you can't even properly gauge the artistic worth of your own efforts." "Those who record history are those who control history." "I am the living embodiment of hell itself in all its tormentive rage, endless suffering, unfathomable pain and unending horror...but you don't get sent to me...I come for you." "Ideally in a fight I'd want a BGM-109A with a W80 250 kiloton tactical thermonuclear fusion based war head." "Tell me, would you describe yourself more as a process or a function?" "Apparently this group has got the market cornered on stupid. Intelligence is down 137 points across the board and the forecast indicates an increase in Webtv users." "Is my .sig delimiter broken?
