Recommedations for the new pilots to FS:

[nate741]

After many incidents, i wish to report that zone.com is getting a rating of 2 in the basis of the horriendus misconduct and anti-american type discrimination, violation of moral civil rights by the many nasty, unpleasant, mean, pig-headed and corrupted member pluses that are on there.

Their staff has a minor problem in the flight board that makes conditions very unpleasant... for new and old users. This report indicates to pass the word and help avoid these bad and unpleasant experiences.

1. They gag users when they are in the board... doing nothing to violate COC... and just because they are in a bad mood they take it out on users. If they are a good plus, they won't help you stop this conduct... backing their own kind...

2. These pluses have BAD attitudes, being pushy and overbearing to provoke breakage of COC... They don't help matters they make it worse.

3. If you are known to break the COC once and a while. They see to it to unjustly single you out... IE. Once and a while even I break the coc... and after this term is over I'll be harassed, bullied, and provoked for now two weeks. Making life a miserable hell...

4. They don't like suggestions that would help users and very much so if you make ANY suggestion that undermines their authority (A question of why we can't iggy these people) got a 60 min ban...) a technical question that was a legit question... no profanity or anything.... I honestly thought as a user i had that option to ignore people if they got abusive and pushy... which in their own COC says to do just that... They have a tendancy to fly off the handle... at good ideas that they did not think of... There are smart people in this world too... i think they don't like that...

5. Also if you complain to the zmaster, who i think does not exist anyway... or respond... the pluses in the fs board retallate against you if your are legitamently in the right...

My recommendations is JUST DON'T GO THERE... Try Satco, Flightsim.com's boards, VATSIM.NET and other boards besides Zone.com to have fun... alot more fun then that place.

If they cannot get good people to man these as a voluntary basis, get honest people who WANT to help... Also stop the idiots and incompetent people who have no right to be a plus anyway... Then why go be abused on a place that is no fun...

I personally wouldn't wish this place on my worst enemy or a broke dead dog... things need to change and the corruption of these bad apples make this place a nightmare... Zone.com and their private policy makes the pluses think they can treat people like crap... and violate every moral right of being a free human being... Zone.com basically because Sadaam.com...
And the sadaam pluses have to GO...

Think about it... Thought i would pass this on....

Suggestion - fly on VATSIM ;) Seriously - it's much more realistic than anything you can get on the zone and most of us controllers (LOL) are pretty nice people to deal with...

My past experiences with the zone have been good. The ones who usually get harassed are those who start the harassment. Too bad you had the experiences you did. Though I do find it a tad hard to believe. Most of the FS guys were easy to get along with, unless of course you ended up in the wrong forums.



Signature, I dont need no stinking signature.

I dont like the zone at all. First of all, its Microsoft. Worse than that, its MSN.
VATSIM kicks it to mars and then some.

Yeah, the only way to win from the iditic bueracratic bullcrap of "Microsoft" zone is to boycott it... basically demand better people to man the ##### thing and get the pluses fired...

I think its time... a Zone rebellion has begun... rid ourselves of Sadaam.com (zone.com) and their stupid idiot pluses who have their head so far up their butts that they can't think straight... Until they clean it up for that forum and others... passing to other areas of zone. that place would be a ghost town... A good ending for this place... beside if we all did that... they can't ban us all... they might listen to us... \

As i said they are violating of every fiber of moral civil rights of being a basic human being...

I say: The hell with zone and the hell with the pluses... We demand something better..

[nate741]

oh yeah to my last message... i think EVERYONE should all open a window, put our head out of the window and YELL: "We are mad as hell at you ZONE... and we're not going to take it anymore."

From network... ;)

The power to the people!!! and down with the bueracratic microsoft zone politic...

Basically if it were me.. i would don a kilt and a broadsword and ride a horse and slaughter them painfully slow those rotten pluses... braveheart style... make them die so slow that they suffer alot... a fitting end to GARBAGE..

[sentra87]

umm well sorry iam not going to yell out my window and have my Neighbors think iam a wacko lol but i never had a problem realy with the zone. Havnt been on there in a long time because iam more an anvanced user and prefer vatsim. But if i were u i just stick with vatsim.

If you don't like Microsoft what the heck are you doing using a Microsoft FlightSim on a Microsoft operating system likely using a Microsoft webbrowser, office application and email program?
There are alternatives to all of the above.

Zone serves a purpose. If it's grown out of control, that's understandable. It's huge and in a huge place all kinds of things happen that the people who originally envisioned it would rather not see.
If you have a problem with some of the admins, take their usernames and find an email address to send a complaint to.
