TERMS OF SERVICE
Below are the terms of service and community rules for all users of AviatorNews.org. Please take the time to read and understand these guidelines if you choose to participate in the community at AviatorNews.org.
Stay on Topic
Off-topic comments will be deleted.
Make Good Comments
When you contribute, make it count. Move the conversation forward. Don’t just be negative without offering reasons or alternatives. If you don’t like something, articulate why, and be fair. If the main thrust of your post is that “______ sucks” it’s not worth posting. Basically, don’t troll, and if someone is trolling, just ignore them. Instances of egregious trolling will be deleted. Double or duplicate posts will be deleted. Any comments stating “first post” or “first comment” or the like will also be deleted, so don’t bother.
Read the Article and the Comments
If you’re going to comment on something, make sure you know what you’re talking about. Don’t point out omissions or errors without reading what came before. There’s no point in repeating something that’s already been said.
No Sexism, Racism, Homophobia, or General Bigotry
You know what it means. If we deem a comment to be inappropriate in any way, we’ll simply delete it, even if it’s “just a joke.” We don’t want anyone coming to Aviator News to be offended, and we take it very seriously.
No Fighting or Personal Attacks
If you want to argue a topic, be civil and discuss the topic at hand. Personal attacks are not allowed. Feel free to disagree, but do it like civilized adults. Do not insult anyone because they don’t agree with you. Personal attacks will be deleted.
Comment Deletion is Done at Our Discretion
Any violations of the above will be evaluated and acted on on at the discretion of the Aviator News staff. Commenters don’t need to moderate from within the thread. If you have a problem with a post or a poster, email [email protected]. This is a private, moderated website, and the administrators of AviatorNews.org reserve the right to control what content is and isn’t allowed here.
If you need further clarification on the above policies, please email Ms. Morris at [email protected].
