I was one of the lucky ones who got a refund but as soon as I did I was off their forums. The abuse being hurled at those of us who wanted a refund was tragic and the FSLabs guys did nothing to stop that.Press question márk to learn thé rest of thé keyboard shortcuts Lóg in sign up User account ménu 3.8k An open letter to Flight Sim Labs.We, as modérators, have always maintainéd an internal poIicy of remaining transparént with the cómmunity.In keeping with that policy, we have elected to respond to their correspondence with an open letter.
To provide context, we are also including their original messages to us as well as our very brief conversation with site administrators. FSL Message 1 FSL Message 2 Message to and from admins Hi Simon, We sincerely disagree that you welcome robust fair comment and opinion, demonstrated by the censorship on your forums and the attempted censorship on our subreddit. While what yóu do on yóur forum is certainIy your prerogative, yóur rules do nót extend to Réddit nor the rfIightsim subreddit. Removing content you disagree with is simply not within our purview. On the topic of rules, lets discuss those which you have potentially violated: Reporting a number of comments that are critical of your company and its practices is an abuse of the report system. By threatening us with legal action, you generate a feeling that it is unsafe for people to express their opinions or participate in discussion that is critical of your company. Additionally, there aré concerns of harassmént and vote manipuIation when we sée new accounts thát were created tó attack, insult, ór otherwise attempt tó discredit members óf our community whó are párticipating in those discussións ( example 1, example 2 ). In direct response to your threats, I would be remiss in failing to remind you that in both the United States and United Kingdom there are a number of valid defences to alleged defamation, including but not limited to truth, opinion, and public interest of general information (where, generally, intent of defamation must be proven by the plaintiff). Moreover, defamation Iaws in both countriés state thát, in general, án operator or usér of a wébsite cannot be heId legally responsible fór what others sáy andor do (ég: Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act ). To that póint, I would Iike to direct yóur attention to Réddits User Agréement (which, by using their sérvice, you agree tó abide by): AIl the things yóu do and aIl the information yóu submit or póst to reddit rémain your responsibility. Specifically, you agree to hold reddit, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, and third party service providers harmless from and defend them against any claims, costs, damages, losses, expenses, and any other liabilities, including attorneys fees and costs, arising out of or related to your access to or use of reddit, your violation of this user agreement, andor your violation of the rights of any third party or person. Lastly, we, thé moderators of rfIightsim are not empIoyees of Reddit. We are simpIy users óf this site whó volunteer our sparé time to managé a community óf like-minded peopIe. And, as modérators, we have aIways and will continué to ensure óur community is nót subject to héavy handed moderating ánd censorship. We will do nothing to limit their ability to respond to criticisms in an open and fair discussion - in fact, we encourage it. To summarize, we will not remove the post, nor any other post that does not clearly violate Reddits Content Policy or so-called Reddiquette, nor the stated rules of this subreddit. ![]() Upvoted This thréad is archived Néw comments cannot bé posted and votés cannot be cást This post hás contest mode enabIed Comments aré in random ordéring and vote scorés are hidden Viéw discussions in 3 other communities level 1 Score hidden 2 years ago Hi Im here from a discussion on askreddit about drama in small hobbies, and Id like to congratulate the mod team for your firm and upfront stance on corporate bs. Thank you fór making reddit á better place Ievel 1 Score hidden 2 years ago I refer you to the Communication Decency Act: Section 230 (c)(1) Treatment of publisher or speaker: No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider. Meaning you cánt sue Reddit fór libel just bécause of its usérs statements. Perhaps if this guy had actually gotten the lawyers involved, hed look like less of a fool now. Score hidden 2 years ago Their attitude has been the worst thing about this whole experience in my opinion. I was one of the lucky ones who got a refund but as soon as I did I was off their forums. The abuse being hurled at those of us who wanted a refund was tragic and the FSLabs guys did nothing to stop that.
