VATSIM strikes again!
EHM-1343 Jonathan:
I way prefered the way IVAO helped me.
They are brilliant with newcomers to the network. I found/find members easy to chat to. For example if you fly close to somebody, and tell them to watch TCAS or something. They are more than happy to read back and wish you a good flight. Its that sort of atmosphere that is captured on IVAO. I heard at the Airport one time, even pilots joking on with each other.
VATSIM should loosen up a bit.;D
EHM-1703 Philip:
Well I suppose all I am trying to say is sometimes "as real as it gets" is not as fun. (otherwise we would all be airline pilots!)

Dear Jeff Clark,
Just to close this topic;
Our ProPilot advertisement was published in every country on the IVAO Forum. For example, in France it appeared in the VA Topic, in Germany in off topic and so on.... The advertisement got published in every topic where it is appropriate. The fact is that Brazilian pilots usually don't look in the German or Netherland forum. The response was positive and there were no stupid comments about "spam" or "all over". Already more than 30 new pilots have joined us in the last 2 weeks. I thought I could use the Vatsim forum in the same way, because it doesn't say in the FAQs that it is not allowed. Now, because of your nice statement, I knew it was not allowed in the Vatsim Forum. I apologize that this happend and thank you for putting this ProPilot advertisement in one topic. My concern and disappointment is not against any moderator or management of Vatsim, but some people who are members. Isn't it enough for the moderator to say that we publish something the wrong way in a forum community? No, there were some people who talked for DAYS about it, like little children. Do they have nothing better to do than start fighting with other people? Jeff, you can see it a lot in this forum where people get worked up about something that has nothing to do with the content of the topic.
Because you have taken the time to instruct me, I know now the way the VATSIM community works. It is much different than the IVAO community.
In one point I have to agree with Phil about the professionalsm of Vatsim. If there is something wrong, the moderator of a forum should say it (like an adult conversation), and should close this topic. He should have the power to stop nonsense from other Vatsim members who never stop writing bad comments Its like complaining a half year about the food your wife made one time with too much salt in it........
Sometimes it helps to look a little bit out of your garden...and consider other ways of doing things...but for some people in this community this is hard to do.
Topic closed !!
best regards,
Kendy
