1A.2 Discord Rules #

Tip

: All Editors must{.red} ensure that their Discord Nickname is either the same as their IFC Username or real name - this means that Editors can be found easily if required (see 1A.2.1 below)

General #

1A.2.1 #

• All Editors must{.red} have an Infinite Flight account
• All Editors must{.red} be 13 years of age or above
• All Editors must{.red} link their Community Forum Account BEFORE editing
• Editors must{.red} ensure that their Discord Nickname is either the same as their IFC Username or real name
• Editors must not{.red} share any airport editing material or conversations (including audio) contained within the Airport Editing Discord externally (unless prior approval has been granted)
• Editors must{.red} be respectful to other users and practice common courtesies
• Editors must not{.red} use any language which, in the exclusive discretion of Infinite Flight, may be deemed offensive (including, but not limited to, language that is unlawful, threatening, vulgar, sexually explicit, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable)
• Criticism and feedback will generally be given via DM; however, on occasion, it may be provided publicly if it is deemed to be a wider issue amongst Editors
• By uploading airports using the Scenery Editor, you agree to the Contributor License Agreement (CLA)

When uploading a new version of a recently edited airport (i.e tapping “Upload as Draft” or “Upload for Review”), Editors will be required to submit a “changelog” which highlights what has been changed in that version. Changelogs must{.red} be specific to ensure that it is clear what has been changed (e.g. “Adjusted C19 jetbridge. Changed taxiway line type on Taxiway A”). Additional details can be added to the IFC airport thread if required (see 11.1 below)

Voice Channels #

1A.2.2 #

• English must{.red} be used at all times
• The voice channels must{.red} only be used by members who are actively discussing editing with other Editors
• Coordination to use voice channels must{.red} only occur in the #general or #help Discord channels
• Editors must not{.red} transmit anything that may be interpreted as disruptive
• Editors must not{.red} transmit any private, identifying or sensitive information
• Editors must not{.red} impersonate another user
• Further guidance on the use of VCs can be found in Discord Communication (see 1A.1.3 above)

1A.2.3 #

Members may contact a Staff Member or IFC Moderator at any time to report a serious violation of VC rules or an unsafe situation. Editor member safety and privacy is a top priority.

Due to the representation of widely diverse social norms, there may be accidental utterances provoked by excitement which do not warrant moderation (e.g. mild profanity and spontaneous phrases as a result of a startling event)

Support #

1A.2.4 #

• In the first instance, Editors should{.red} make every effort to use the resources available to them, including this manual and fellow Editors, to seek support
• If Editors are unable to find the answer they need, they can ask for help in the #help Discord Channel
• The Rank Structure can be helpful to find out what the different roles in Airport Editing are, and therefore who might be appropriate to ask (see 1A.4.1 below)
