Policies and Procedures

Welcome to ProPilotWorld. As with any website, there are rules governing its use and we ask that you please read our rules. In keeping with treating you with the respect you deserve while maintaining the integrity of the forums, our rules are simple:


Access

Access to ProPilotWorld.com Forums is restricted to persons holding a Commercial Pilot Certificate or higher (Professional Flight Engineers, Air Traffic Control Specialists and Licensed Dispatchers accepted as well). For full access to ProPilotWorld.com Forums, you will be required to give your full name during registration, which will be used to verify Certificates and Ratings as published in the FAA Airman Certification Registry. The full name will be also be cross-referenced with the payment method to verify identity. Only the Administrators (2) will have access to a member's full name; NO Forum Leader or general member will have access to this information. It is ONLY used to verify membership eligibility. (If Certificates/Ratings cannot be verified by the FAA Airman Certification Registry, an alternate method of verification will be offered via mail.)


Policies

ProPilotWorld.com reserves the right to edit or remove any post that is deemed to violate either of the above rules. If an Administrator or Forum Leader has to take action regarding a post, he/she will inform the post's author in a collegial and respectful manner via Private Message of the action taken and the reason. The decision of the Forum Leaders or Administrators is final.

There is no automatic language censor, anything that you wish to say will be displayed. With this freedom, however, comes a certain responsibility. Just because you can say anything doesn't mean you should. If there is a point that you are making and nothing but the use of a good expletive will suffice, use it. That being said, please use them sparingly so that their impact is retained- and please, do not use them directed at another member, nor ask another member to perform something which is anatomically impossible or socially unacceptable. Also, while we embrace (as often as possible) the feminine form, we ask that avatars steer clear of provocative images. Fair enough?

There is no Penalty Box. Members who choose not to abide by the few rules and policies outlined here, and continue to disobey the rules will be denied access to ProPilotWorld.com and their membership revoked. Membership fees are not refundable, and further access will denied for a period of six months following revocation. Memberships are based on real names, not usernames, and are controlled accordingly. Any membership obtained with falsified registration information will be terminated without refund.

ProPilotWorld.com staff encourages the free flow of information and dialogue. We encourage members to treat other members with respect, even though they may be in disagreement. We encourage all participants to keep posts on-topic and civil, within the sometimes irreverent context of professional pilots.


Privacy Notice

All registration information shall be held in strictest confidence. Absolutely no personal information will be given to any individual or agency without the express written consent of the registered member. No cross-marketing of information regarding members of ProPilotWorld.com, either specific or general in nature, will be distributed to any commercial or governmental entity. Members will be held responsible for what occurs using their account. Each member is responsible for ensuring the security of his/her own account, and will be held accountable for how the account is used. Usernames and passwords should be kept private. The membership is for the exclusive use of the member - - not friends, family, and crashpad mates. Failure to adhere to this policy will result in membership cancellation.

Thank you for reading these rules and policies. We have kept them brief and simple, because that's all we need to say in order to keep the forums entertaining, productive, and useful. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
