@11qazxc We'll have chat channels in the SP2 discord eventually. It's set up the way it is for now to give us some breathing room before things explode.
@Tetrodotoxin Yes, maybe that's true, but I'm inclined to believe it's simply symbolism in this case. We can't just remove someone's profile picture because someone thinks it's hate speech. Again, we spoke to the person the profile picture belongs to, and another person for good measure. Neither have any reason to lie about it.
@YubukiShimada In that case, I have removed them as a contributor. I will also have a discussion with the other moderators on whether this mod itself is considered high effort enough to warrant a post on the mods page.
Post removed as it is no longer April Fools' day and as such violates the misleading thumbnail rule. For obvious reasons, you will not receive a strike.
While it is true that there's a lot of rather talentless stuff out there, there is still some great music if you look hard enough. An example that comes to mind is TOOL's Fear Inoculum album that came out last year.
How about adding something like "Hi! Nice build! Flies really well!" before your question?
Rather than answer his question you instead decided to completely dismiss it and essentially told him you compliment you instead without considering if he actually thinks it's deserving of those compliments.
As a moderator on the SR2 site I feel I should share my own thoughts on this matter:
I don't think permission should be required to make a successor to someone's craft, nor is it up to the original creator to decide if a successor post is enough of an "improvement" to stay up unless a moderator specifically says otherwise. The rules state this:
It is okay to download someone else's airplane, make some tweaks, and re-upload a new variation.
In fact, the original designer may even receive bonus points.
However, if your variation does not offer any improvements over the existing airplane, then it may be removed.
As you may have noticed, nowhere does it say you need any permission. Yes, it's nicer to ask, but that's just a courtesy and not a requirement. If you feel offended over a successor post then, sorry, but that's not really the uploader's problem. It is up to the moderators to decide if a post should be removed, not the original creator of said post. If you think a post violates the rules, please report it rather than try to take matters into your own hands.
It was auto-removed for manual review after being reported a bunch of times for being a copy. It seems to be transformative enough compared to the original to warrant staying up as it adds significant functionality that wasn't previously present (controlled flight), so I'm re-approving it. Apologies for that.

@Rjenteissussy @StockPlanesRemastered Whether or not somebody tells you not to make successors of their crafts is largely irrelevant in the eyes of moderation. Generally it would be more respectful to comply with their wishes and that is another matter on its own, but as long as people are following the successor rules (crediting the creator/not bypassing the auto credit, and changing the craft in some relatively meaningful way besides just repainting it) they are free to upload successors of other peoples' crafts however they see fit.
@QBZ1446607322 I've taken a look at your report history and gone ahead and removed the posts that didn't appear to adhere to our copy rules, apologies they weren't dealt with before.

As for your second point, I'm unsure what exactly you mean and I think that unfortunately the language barrier is skewing things a little. However, if somebody is engaging in behaviour on this website that needs to be handled, you are again asked to use the report button rather than attempt to insult them in public. Reporting them properly makes our job much easier and prevents huge and highly toxic arguments like what happened in the comments of this post.
I've taken the liberty to finally update this post, cleaning it up a bit and adding some extra links that have been suggested over the years. I'll probably start semi-regularly maintaining this again in the near future.
@ZeroWithSlashedO testing is currently only for the pc version. based on the timeline of the release of the mobile version of juno new origins, i wouldnt expect to see public testing of the mobile version of sp2 until months after the game is out on pc. that's speculation on my part though
@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 hi hello yes i'm still around, potentially more often once SP2 is out. dunno what i did to be your lord but i appreciate it i guess lol
@geek1love I've taken a look at the profile in question and, while it's certainly odd, I can't see anything that would violate the rules. That being said, I'm fairly uneducated on matters such as these, so if there's something I'm missing please explain it to me.
accidentally spent way longer than I intended flying this thing around in first person. very nice

+3It's possible that maybe people just like different things, and that they don't need your or anyone else's approval to do so. Just a thought.

+3While you're here, check out Flyout. It's an upcoming aircraft building game.

+3I've edited the title to remove the expletive. Please read the rules.
+3@robloxweponco It's not toxic. Some people just feel ignored for whatever reason.
+3@asteroidbook345 I think the minimum point threshold for upvotes only applies to airplane posts.

+3@UFNNICF5TF That's not racist. Plenty of other places have english-only rules to make them easier to moderate.

@Kyster58 Yep it'll be on mobile. Our plan is to release the mobile version in 2026.
+2@voytek you can consider that strike a non-issue, sorry about that. It was hastily given (by me) and then lifted.
+2@RestlessGalaxies as this is a community challenge, I'd prefer to be kept out of any decisionmaking
