Congratulations, you have managed to attract a moderator.You have won a banana. You can pick up your prize (a banana) at your local store, for a small fee.
Soo... what bugs me the most...?
Well, we recently got new and improved moderator options that let us write better mod notes (strikes, lists of alts, etc), do custom ban lengths, edit tags more easily, so that's one nuisance out of the way. Community is pretty calm these days, latest drama being that minor incident about a certain user not wanting their builds edited, so that's fine too. The biggest annoyance remaining is having to ban underaged users. Some of them are really good at the game, really nice, but terms of service are clear on the matter.
@ZWLenning cancel culture has taken the US. You tell a joke about something, someone gets offended, and you're done for. As if it were run by Mujahideen.
I suggest a glowing block. It would be a plain cube that accepts no reflection, as a stopgap feature until we get more dedicated lighting parts in the future. We can scale it to desired shapes and sizes.
@TurtlesThatFly yes, that will need to be addressed. I will have to get the entire mod team on board for that though, and massacre the accounts that keep doing it after we start a crackdown.
I must be seeing things, propellers and landing gear on a Sleddy build...
It looks nice, I just don't upvote builds with covered control surfaces as a principle.
That's a stupid default remove message for copies. I hardly ever used it when I was a moderator, since it poorly explains the offense.
I always sought to leave more precise and witty remove/ban messages.
First, make a custom body for a missile. After that, place a detacher. Put a cockpit on a smaller end, and a missile you want to use for propulsion on a bigger end. Place fuselage body you have made on a rear, flat side of the detacher. Remove mass from the body. Nudge everything together, remove the cockpit, and leave detacher sticking out. Attach the missile to a plane by that detacher. It fires with a lock-on, like the stock missile you are using inside it.
Moderator here. As you can see, my tag is red, meaning we're communists. We're what's left of the Soviet Union, and will bring down capitalism through video games and collecting your data for Stalin.
@ToxicToxicTheAviation SimplePlanes Masters Chat logo is intellectual property of a member of SimplePlanes Masters Chat, and members have a permission to use it. You, however, do not.
@Learpot it's outdated. It needs new ranks, as there's nothing left to motivate users who have passed twenty five thousand points. Next possible goal could be getting into top ten, but that means accumulating eight times the points you have, and many people don't see it as a reasonable thing to work towards.
@ToxicToxicTheAviation if for nothing else, I'll ban you for abusing SPMC logo. We are a closed group, and only members are allowed to use the logo.
@Inuyasha8215 please link me to those alts.
It is a craft traversing the air, propelled by an internal combustion aggregate, sustaining itself in the air via aerodynamic forces from its airfoils. Airfoil is a sideways-protruding, wide and thin part that converts airflow into lift. Usually, there are two, one on each side, and two smaller ones protruding sideways at the rear that stabilize the craft and provide attitude control. Passengers and operator are housed in the hull, in the middle of the craft.
This post is perfectly in accordance with the rules. It is a successor to the original, gives credit, and features major changes. Not even the original builder can tell you to remove it, as once uploaded all builds are available to the community to be used and edited.
@Megamonster you need to tag a user so they get notified about your reply, like I did at the start of this comment. It is not necessary if you are commenting on their post though.
To become a moderator, you must be knowledgeable about the community, spending a lot of time here. You must also be on good terms with most of the community. Oh, and you must be over 16 years old. If you fulfill those requirements, you stand a chance of being picked for a moderator among over a thousand such users when we need another moderator, which is once in a blue moon. Developers pick a new moderator, often based on recommendations from old moderators.
Also, don't think that being a moderator is much of a privilege. We do get certain additional options, but we have to use them unbiased and in accordance with guidelines and rules, not for fun. Only real plus side is the red badge.
Maybe start making your builds more complex. Things like custom airfoil and custom landing gear can go a long way. Also, work on your thumbnails. A thumbnail presents the build and attracts attention. Thirdly, you should interact more. Maybe join some Discord servers. You can find the most popular one in my bio, Builders chat.
I have a tiny little complaint: Tail rotors have way too much stick separating them from the fuselage. It prevents making of designs that have tail rotor closer to the fuselage and completely prevents us from making a fenestron. If we want it further from the fuselage, we'll just use a fuselage block there. Could you please shorten it?
James, this game relies heavily on the community. We are all sharing our skills and techniques with each other, mostly on Discord. Check out the servers list (pinned post). Funky Trees Lab is the one you need for this specific issue. That server specializes in developing inputs, helping people find the right input, and teaching you how to make your own. You can get some basic help with FT in most other servers, and pretty much anyone who has used variables on builds can explain how they work.
On the other hand, I did try to push for a more comprehensive guide for new players. Last I checked, tutorial still only shows how to use old blocks. New tutorial should make the player use fuselage cutting, and the game should contain a link to the useful guides and information.
The whole point of the forum section is to improve communication among users. Using it to promote an even better way of communication isn't a bad thing. I understand that server invites can get a bit spammy at times, which is a problem server administrations should resolve. I'm ready to work with server owners on making one big forum post with all the invites that would be pinned for all to see.
@SimpleMADNESS I have removed his comment, but also yours for calling user an idiot. Be nice to new users and try to teach them how to behave in the community instead of insulting them.
I must agree with @Kimcotupan15 on this one. Mobile users should have the same abilities PC users have, including the option to post custom screenshots.
@Simps you have been issued a strike for intentionally escalating conflict with user hihihihellohellohello. If you continue, you will be issued a ban.
@hihihihellohellohello you have been issued a strike for two instances of copying, reposting unedited or barely edited build.
All others: any hostile comments after this one will be awarded with a strike. Mod team is aware of this user, and we are considering our options. Any group hostilities towards this or any other user will not be tolerated.

+59Well, you don't get points for a comment upvote, so it's fine.
+55Congratulations, you have managed to attract a moderator.You have won a banana. You can pick up your prize (a banana) at your local store, for a small fee.
+50Due to special character of the post, I'll allow the thumbnail this time, even though it's "misleading".

+31The third one is hilariously accurate. Second one, not as much. We always like a good joke.
+30You cannot block a moderator. We are too powerful.
+27I have exactly Mod points.
+27Thank you for Mod tag and the trust, @AndrewGarrison. I hope I'll do a good job in this new role. I promise I'll do my best.
+26@russianspy no, unfortunately. None of them see the joy of the limitless 3D sandbox and open world to use your creations on.
+25@TurtlesThatFly yes, that will need to be addressed. I will have to get the entire mod team on board for that though, and massacre the accounts that keep doing it after we start a crackdown.

+23Finally, a biblically accurate build.

+22Is this Minecraft, is this just SP?
+22Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality...
You have discovered concave fuselage corner, something many have been trying for quite a while. Congratulations.
+21You have missed the career, Andrew. You should have been an actor.
+19Very nice video, and the best April Fools so far.

+18@Inuyasha8215 please link me to those alts.
@CenturyAerospace yes. However, it is discouraged, as it makes the job of moderators more difficult.
+18Very reliable against ground targets, lags a bit behind airborne targets. Overall, great update demonstrator.
+18An 835 part fan?! Don't build the rest of the plane, you'll bring down the site.
+18Four: people who post more forums than builds.
+18@Carroca please keep your political views off the site in accordance with rules. I have noted in your mod notes that you have been issued a warning.

+17Probably auto mod. Tag me on the post and I'll fix it when I'm available.

+14@Ryn176 that will be discussed. There's a "Follow" feature, and it lets people know when builds by their favorite buiders are posted.

+14Strange puppy. Has a bit of an explosive temper.
+13You should have just updated the XML file. You didn't have to make a new post.
+13@Simps you have been issued a strike for intentionally escalating conflict with user hihihihellohellohello. If you continue, you will be issued a ban.

@Numbers there are no plans to add more ranks, as far as I know. Andrew is quite lazy when it comes to running the site.
