I am suggesting that Sparky implement behavioral rules that will force members to act respectfully to everyone. It should not matter who a person is as to how they are treated. The substance of a person's theory or assertion should be discussed, not who somebody is. Labeling members as ignorant, criticism for using an alias should be be considered provocation.
I cite as an example, RC Groups as to how the behavioral rules would be used. They have over 1 million visitors a month and over 90% of the members there do not use their real name. The issues experienced here are not allowed there.

That should apply to you as well. You seem to come off as a total ass to anyone who thinks something counter to your opinion. Go back to your hole if you can't take what you dish out Rusty.

I got my little feelings hurt because I can't deal with people disagreeing with my opinions, so now I'm going to play the victim and have everyone's rights restricted..... Aren't you a little too old to identify as a millennial? Freaking liberal!!

P.S. I won't delete my post, because I mean every word!!!

It seems we didn't NEED any rules until somebody named after a diet plan came along....

But it's perfectly okay for you to call people liars, with no proof to back up that claim, and nobody is supposed to call you on it?
You picked the wrong one buddy.
Derek

Careful. You’re going to hurt his feelings again...
-
We basically have all of that now. You are one guy that doesn't like it. You can't please all of the people all of the time, especially the chronic whiners!
I am curious about one thing. You posted the photos of "yourself" as a child with some model airplanes. How are we supposed to know that is you? I'm sure you don't look like that now, and I'm sure you were not from my neighborhood. My brother and I were the only ones flying models in my neighborhood. How does that validate or prove anything?
Type at you later,

Okay, lets agree for Sparky to implement the same rules RC Groups has and that should solve all these issues. It will apply to everyone.
Sounds good so far.
Yeah, umm, NO! I don't agree, and sparky is a pretty solid free speech guy. I can't speak for him, but you opened up this discussion so... You deal with it bubba.
If you don't like it, delete this post too. However, you have entertained me thus far today, and I don't have anything better to do tonight, so I will just start a new post with your fake name as the header.
I'm at a standstill on my new plane, waiting on glue and dope to dry...

Good to hear from you Bill.

What Sparky does is up to him. I don’t think we need new rules to keep people from getting their feelings hurt.
Yes, RCGroups has rules. I got a warning there once. I know, hard to believe, right? But sometimes people just need to be told to STFU.
Edit: This was in reference to an RCGroups post, and in no way reflects on any member here. Unless, of course, the shoe fits...
-
Okay Derek. You seem to be the leader of this. Do you want me to leave the forum? Would that make you happy?
Not at all. I want you to stand your ground and support your opinions. With facts if you have any...
You "started this" I'm just here to gather up all your BS and place it gently back into your lap.
Anxiously awaiting your next response.

Man, I'm SO sick of all the whiners in the world anymore. It's a simple fix, I'd say anyone who doesn't like it here can feel free to hit the trail. I'm with Derek on this one. D>K
-
I lurked on this site for quite awhile before posting anything. I was concerned about the "bullying" that seemed to take place. Over time, I have come to understand this better.
I am sick of people whining about not being treated fairly when they, all on their own, stir up the stink.
I really hope Sparky does not "implement behavioral rules that will force members to act respectfully". FORCING someone to act how you want them to is not freedom or free speech.
It is Sparky's website and we follow his rules.
It might work well to respect our host and not annoy him with teacher-teacher drivel.

Okay Derek. You seem to be the leader of this. Do you want me to leave the forum? Would that make you happy?
Yes you stated your position, one many people have. If you look through the archives of SStunt you will see I once agreed with the idea of removing the BOM and I believed it so much I signed the rules change proposal someone submitted as a supporter of it. I put my NAME on it. I am very glad that didn't go through. VERY GLAD. You will also note I also have had a more hardline stance like you have in the past as well, again when I wrote about it online in a forum I put my NAME on it. There have been proposals in the past to make it more strict like you would like and bring back some of the more traditional roots of building. Those who wrote them signed them as well. They didn't pass. The EVENT goes the way we want it too as members of the AMA who have the right to make rules proposals for any event we see fit. We will be required to sign the proposal and put our AMA number on there as well. I am sure you can see where this is going.
THIS IS NOT RCG. You want RCG rules and regs then by all means go to RCG and write away to your hearts content.
It's not who you are or what you have done that matters at all, people just like to put a name with the posts. In person I wouldn't just walk up to someone on the street I had no clue who they were and tell them they need to stop lying about the planes they build. I would at least like to know who they are. But when someone comes on here and intentionally wont use their name and then put people down and call others liars it's just very weak and will get a very strong negative response. It will always be perceived as someone just throwing gas on the fire.
If you are who you say you are about having been around this event for a long time then you know darn well BOM discussions are hot topics and will always be heated and get heated very quickly. You also know you should choose your words wisely as to actually get a discussion and not just bomb throwing. So when you said We need to stop lying about building our planes and what we have now is weak you insulted some of my very close friends right to their faces and you know you did because they have their names and information right there for you to see yet you hide behind your keyboard just like most trolls. You want to be taken seriously then be serious yourself. Oh by the way you called names first, ignorant was one of the terms I saw. Don't delete your posts either. You say something, then say and stand by it. Your name is not on there so why the heck do you care.
I am Doug Moon of Dallas TX I have a wife and 3 kids. I build and fly CLPA and RC Helicopters and I like fishing too. I have an old corvette that I am waiting on the title before I can start work on it. I am Catholic, a roofer, a father, a husband and all around hobby nerd. On top of that I have a really annoying bird.

My birth certificate says James, but I only hear that if my wife thinks I’m in trouble.

I'm waiting for Sparky to lock this down as some just made a political statement about someone that has a birth certificate from a hospital that didn't exist at the time from a country that also was not a state of the good ole USA yet. S?P
-
Keto what ever go read the rules again. A search should turn them up. mw~
-
One is totally free to express themselves, but they must do it in a constructive manner.
Which is EXACTLY what you DIDN'T do. You started by telling us our event was broken and we were all fooling ourselves. How did you expect us to respond. You did nothing but tell us our rules were all wrong, over and over.
You should have simply said that you would like to start a new event where design, construction, and flying were all rewarded. Then present your rules. Things WOULD have done differently.
BUT YOU FIRST STARTED WITH AN ATTACK ON OUR EVENT, ONE THAT YOU DON'T EVEN PARTICIPTATE IN.
Step back a few thousand feet and view it (this discussion on the previous thread) from another perspective.
-
How about I change my name to "Who am I?" Derek, what I wonder is how you would stand up to the onslaught being put on me now?
I don't care what you call yourself.
I have made stupid statements in the past, and i had to own them.
If you think i am being uncivil, question my integrity again...
I don't know you, and after this short debate, i don't really care to. I have disagreements with people i respect all the time, however, that doesn't lead me to calling them liars.
I can see why you and Peabody agree on things.... He has called me many things, but never a liar...
For some reason you think that because you're not a top level pilot, that your opinion doesn't matter. That couldn't be farther from the truth. Your opinion doesn't matter because you have no history here, other than being a troll. You might be surprised to find, if you came to an event, that we are nice people, with nothing to gain from winning a trophy. Most of us do it because we love the people and helping others. We are passionate about this event, and want it to grow. People like you destroy all of that, because you're only interested in arguing with people on the internet.

Doug, a man admitted he uses wings and tail pieces that other people made. Then another person comes along and says all national competitors build their entire plane. How does that match up?
Ketoman, there have always been people saying one thing or another about who built what. All I can do is worry about what I do with my plane. If I actually think someone is claiming BOM when they are not the builder then I have the option to protest it under the current rules. The burden of proof is on me as well and I have to throw in 50 bones in there as well and being a CL guy that makes me cheap so its gonna be hard to do. Plus complaining about it on a forum is so much easier...
We need to be clear about this, as most people know Event 322 is the ONLY CLPA event that requires you to be the BOM to actually enter the contest. That is prior to apperance points etc. You cant borrow a plane and enter, or get an ARF and enter. Once you sign the enty form you are stating that you have followed the rules and you are man enough to sign off on it, using your actual name.
If the man said he uses wings and tail pieces and the rules allow it then he followed the rules as they are now stated. See how that works? It is actually a pretty simple concept.
Several years ago several came prefabbed planes they painted themselves and did enter the nats event 322. This was under the older form of the BOM which was alot more vague. The guys signed off on the form and entered. They flew and did their thing. No one protested. Not long after that, after alot of hard work and discusion from some of my closest friends, the updated BOM was passed into the AMA RB. Now those planes are no longer eligible. Those who used them know it and they didnt bring those planes back again. That's how it works. We use the honor system and those take having fun in this hobby serious and want to compete and win on the up and it seems to work so far.
If you would lilke a more strict rule about how the BOM should be interpreted and practiced then by all means please write it up and submit it for initial review. But you need to know one thing....you will have to use your name on the form and your AMA number.
-
Paul, if you did not build your entire air frame, you did not build your model. If your rules say you built your own model and you used wings or tail pieces somebody else made, then the definition of building your own model is incorrect. That is what I believe. And, you know what, others believe it too.
Paul, please tell me how you can say otherwise. I have been waiting for this answer a long time.
I am not going to try speak for Paul he uses his name and can speak for himself but I would like to take a crack at this one.
Ketoguy, you are defining the BOM in your own view as X, while the AMA RB states that at this point in the time space continuim the rule is Y. Paul does not have to abide by your idea or stated version of what the BOM is, he only needs to concern himself with what the AMA RB says the BOM is.
Again, if you would like US to abide by Ketoboy's version of the BOM then you need to submit it to the AMA for a change and sign your diet name on the line...
-
All I did was make a suggestion there should be a event where additional points are given for more than painting your model.
Wow you need to go back and read your posts..oops you deleted them so now you can make them whatever you want. But in fact you did not just suggest a new event. Otherwise you would have done what Paul said and started a thread about it and probably had a much different response. You jumped in and started in about how we are lying to everyone about building. Yep the Ketodude said it..
-
Paul, if you did not build your entire air frame, you did not build your model. If your rules say you built your own model and you used wings or tail pieces somebody else made, then the definition of building your own model is incorrect. That is what I believe.

This is the crux of the whole problem here. We have rules we are competing with, and you disagree with those rules. That is unfortunate, but we have rules to compete with and you have only OPINIONS.
Your entire position is that our rules are wrong. Well, maybe wrong for you, but not us.
We are satisfied with what we have. If you want different, you can (as has been suggested already) submit a rules proposal to change them ( which I think you know what will happen), or create your OWN event and have a competition with those rules. It would be interesting to see your rules, and how that competition went.
For now, get over the fact that our rules are what they are.

C'mon Guys... WE all need to stop letting this liberal fool lead anyone around and around his favorite tree. I think He's just doing it because He thinks it gives him some kind of power. In truth He's just a "little man" that no one listens to and He's trying to prove he's NOT...in truth even He knows He is!
Unless He actually comes up with a post that makes sense....best thing to do is just ignore him! I seriously doubt even He believes the "tripe" He's been spouting!

Sorry Keto man, I have to go....
Got to get started on my new design for next year. But first, some flight tests to collect some data.
And, sorry to disappoint you, but I design my planes myself, draw my plans myself, build them myself, and fly them myself.
I do have only 4 planes in my collection that are foam wings. Oh gee, I bought several of those foam wings. That's 4 out of 50 ish stunters. You can breathe now, the B-17's were all built up. Wow, that's a relief. The P-51's (of which there were 3) were all built up from MY plans, and the 2 recent P-47's were also built up by me from my plans. There seems to be a trend here.
You might not have all your facts correct!

You know... I haven't actually finished a model airplane in YEARS. In fact, I have four little .049 Blackhawk plank wings that I started some few years ago so the entire family could have an airplane to fly... and even THOSE aren't finished! Simply put, I reckon I'm a C/L participant historically, but not currently.
BUT... I check these Stunt Hangar forums DAILY. (Sometimes several times per day.)
Why?
Because it's entertaining! LL~
There is ALWAYS a good rabble going on... some abstract humor... banter... sometimes there's even good information... but at the end of the day, it's always a fun ride... better than ANY soap opera/reality show that one want's to watch! %^@
