If you took off without permission on VATSIM... crashed into other planes... kept crashing over and over.... would you be suspended from their server or what?

Yes. You'll probably find a rather nice long email in your inbox too after your rampage.

.walloped to be exact.

[Ainsleh]

Why would you even consider doing that?

So they'll send me hate mail after a person keeps:

- Taking off without permission

- Crashing into other planes...

- Kept crashing over and over

???


oh... another one.... can you pretend that a plane's being hijacked or no?

for the lulz...

No, but it makes me think if there has been individuals that have done this already

In the rules you read before you sign up I'm pretty sure it explicitly states that you cannot pretend to be hijacked.

What happens if they did it anyways?  

[Sam Millar]

Anyone with an Alias here that has .newbie in it will know what I'm about to say next.

You'll need to be rather sad to want to replicate a hijacking. & If you did, you would probably be IP banned and reported to your ISP probably. It's rather obvious you're thinking of trying it otherwise you wouldn't be asking. Use your head.

Sorry, I cannot help you at this time. Please go to www.vatsim.net/prc for more information.

If you get reported to your ISP, what are they gonna do? Do they even care about Flight Simulation???  

Thanks for your help boss.

Why is it pointless? What's your ISP gonna do?

[Flying_Pie]

Squawkbox auto-boots you for squawking 7500, which is universal for hijacking in the real world. For the other stuff, you could very well get a long suspension or a ban.

   For one thing, in light of 9/11 if there is any hint of potential criminal thought the ISP can and has reported more than a few customers with questionable behavior. That will get you a visit from the FBI and homeland security in short order, regardless of why you did it. See the hoaxster who got 6 months for one example: Online Threat Results In jail Time. Being that FS was used to train in the terror attacks, it would not take a big leap to get some serious questions from nice men in dark tactical outfits.

   It really is a world where you can no longer joke about such stuff. If you don't believe me, keep up the questions :-)...

I was once flying on Vatsim and had a pilot doing fly by's all over the airport and crashing into planes, and everything on purpose. ATC tryed to talk him into too stopping for a few minutes and then he got booted. Or atleast I think he got booted

Anyways I bet a similar action would be taken if someone did pretend to be hijacked, or started doing things without premission

What do you mean pointless thought? You crash into everyone, and T/O and L without permission on the FSW server. I just have Crash off, not like it is realistic or anything.

What if you honestly crash on accident, what happens then? Like using FSPassengers while flying vatsim and it makes you have an emergency?

Then its ok, Or at least it has been for me.

[Sam Millar]

Then you would be excused.

[Cactus]

I controlled for a long time on VATSIM.

If you were flying in cruise and didn't respond after X number of minutes, I would make sure you were booted.
If you didn't reasonably respond during any other phase of flight (take-off, climb, descent, approach, etc), you would get booted. Same goes for fly-in traffic. The "X number of minutes" rule doesn't apply if you are being an immediate interference.

Squawking the hijack code will get you automatically booted.

Using the callsign of any of the 9/11-related flight on the anniversary will also traditionally get you suspended.

[niteye]

How tolerant are they for pilots who don't speak native english and/or don't know the exact ATC procedures ?
