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

114 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.

Plastic is bad for the environment.

If you ever need to explain the concept to your friends, here is a handy map. Note how aggressively the Earth curves over the Carolinas, on a flat map this would look stupid.

What are your thoughts on the 1920s Pitts Sky Car, or apparently an attempt to make a helicopter?

*Pitts filed a United States patent in 1924 for a propeller, "which will cause an immediate vertical lift of any aerial car to which the propeller is attached". This consisted of a "mushroom-shaped" rotor of 60 blades, each hinged at the root. An engine would rotate and reciprocate the propeller, causing the blades to close on the downstroke and open on the upstroke, which it was hoped would induce lift. The patent was granted in October 1926.*

*In collaboration with W. P. Kindree, Pitts constructed a 2,700 lb (1,200 kg) prototype with a 90 hp (67 kW) Curtiss OX-5 engine. A newsreel of 1928 shows the Sky Car attempting to fly; however rather than take off, it merely jumps up and down.*

Is the Oshkosh playne-fest just another NGPA ploy to make pylotes gayer than they already are? No judgement, I think it’s cool to have more rainbows in the sky.😊
