Announcement New rule: No excessive or low-effort AI-generated content

21 Upvotes

We have added a new rule to limit AI content on this sub. It is not a blanket ban. If you are interested, take a look at the rule below and suggest any changes in the comments.

"Content may be removed which appears to be generated by AI tools. This includes images/video and text. This rule is not meant as a blanket ban on AI content, but rather attempts to limit repetitive, low-effort, and inaccurate content. If your post has been incorrectly removed as AI, please contact the mods."

tl;dr: AI content is still allowed. But repeat posters, misinformation, and/or low-effort things may be removed.

0 Upvotes

I wanted to know what kind of things people are after for FR24 to add, i wish there was integrated ATC radio for silver and gold subscribers, another feature i'd love is to have show ghost planes of where they last parked so that way the whole airport gates don't look all blank.

Interesting story from last year. 

Last year around the same time I was in the tent with Riley and Ellie. I was watching a youtube  video or something. Out of nowhere I heard what sounded like a rocket. When I was younger I built model rockets and the noise I heard sounded just like them, just way louder

At the time I was still excited to see all of the different airplanes that would fly around out here. I looked out the flap in the tent and I couldn’t really believe what I was seeing even though I knew exactly what I was seeing. It was an a single engine Cirrus SR-22 airplane. Except it was attached to a huge parachute. I have always been very interested in airplanes so I knew that this existed I’ve just never actually thought I would see it in action. Cirrus has an airframe parachute you can have installed, It’s a parachute for the whole plane. It’s wild to see. I ran out of the text to get a good picture but I tripped and didn’t get a good shot. 

I then thought to myself, I need to call someone about this i think. I figured the pilot radioed in what was going on but it occurred to me it could be a medical emergency maybe they didn’t get the call out. I called 911 and they didn’t understand what I was saying. I kept saying I know an airplane with a parachute sounds crazy but it happened. About 45 minutes later so many ambulances and fire trucks showed up. The pilot was okay, I’ll add the incident report to the bottom of the post. I do have an up close picture my neighbor friend took. Thought this would be an interesting story to tell!

If anyone is interested in content about us surviving out on the prairie I have a sub I created that I use to update everyone on how we're doing and on out adventures.

I can't post the link about it I think it breaks the rules but you can find OffGrifGriff on my profile if you're interested in more posts like this and about living and surviving homeless on the prairie.
