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.
This might be related to the craft downloading changes Andrew pushed to the site today, I'll let him know. Thank you.
.
Edit: It's probably unrelated, but I've let him know anyway. This site is held together by hopes, dreams, and some glue. We're trying our best, sorry for the inconvenience.
@Graingy The little dropdown menu on the top right of the site still shows my points rather than the CM badge. I can also just look at my points page. But for the general public there's no way to know the point count of moderators or devs as far as I know, aside from attempting to extrapolate via the users page.
Somebody mentioned this to me yesterday and I hadn't really looked into it much because I had assumed it was a different issue I already knew about, but I realize it's something different now. I'll bring this up with Andrew, sorry about that!
I have access to the edit history of your bio, but not the raw markdown stuff, so I'd only really be able to help get you the text back and not the formatting, links, or image embeds.
@NadiaP123 thank you :) they're taken in SimplePlanes 2, I really wanted to get some cool screenshots especially with the clouds (that first image is a recreation of a shot from the first movie, when hiccup takes astrid flying for the first time). these movies mean a lot to me and I'm happy to see a cool toothless craft on here, even if he is a little oversized hehe
@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.
Also, probably not happening because it'd be a bit complex to do, but having him be able to sit down like in this scene (which is probably my favourite scene in any movie) would be awesome
@JuanNotAnAlt Featuring probably isn't happening since Winterro is platinum and we try to only feature people that are below that, but it is certainly neat
@Karzigg It's not so much his opinion that was the problem, it's what he said when explaining that opinion that was problematic. I think his description of it "where I forgot to translate every word to newspeak" is a big enough hint. If you can't figure it out from there, nothing I can do about that.
@Mostly I'm silver now :)
+3I pinned it site-wide, and apparently that pins it to some places that aren't intentional.

+3ENEMY AC-130 ABOVE!!
+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.
+3Please, no more mask posts. They're just spammy at this point.

+3Quick, everyone mass upvote all of Andrew's posts!
+3how to use italics?
+3@asteroidbook345 click the FLY button in the main menu
+2happy new year
+2@windshifter1 Limiting the demo to a week for the time being ensures the feedback we get on it won't overwhelm us too much before the game comes out.
+2@Graingy
They should work as they increase the effective wingspan without affecting lift very much, but that hasn't been rigorously tested.

+2@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
+2@TheMouse of course, there you go :)

@MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 It tells you about SP2 and gives you a button to go to its Steam page
+2happy birthday!
+2comboing the rocket launcher and the shotgun grenade launcher makes quick work of them iirc
+2@LunarEclipseSP I adore the badge more than you could know and I've saved it to my sona art folder. The lore is nice too :>

+2@X4JB fixed :)

+2@AN2Felllla If they're anything like the gauges in SR2, then the answer to those is probably yes.
