Thank you for being so thorough with your critique of the APC Terms and Conditions and Forum Rules. I thought I would help clarify a few things though.
First, the Terms and Conditions for APC are at the bottom of every page, and even though they are not "Airline Pilot Central" specific they do apply.
Second, the Forum Rules announcement should be at the top of every forum, and in addition there is an actual Rules thread in the Announcement forum:
http://www.airlinepilotforums.com/ru...rum-rules.html
Third, while there might not be a clearly outlined policy about specifically calling someone out as a scab, this kind of behavior actually falls under several other rules and Terms we have in place.
Content prohibited from our sites and services includes but is not limited to:
(3) offensive content (including, without limitation, court ordered defamatory statements, threatening, hateful or pornographic content);
(4) content that discloses another's personal, confidential or proprietary information;
(5) false or fraudulent content (including but not limited to false, fraudulent or misleading responses to user ads transmitted via our sites and services);
By agreeing to these rules, you warrant that you will not post any messages that are obscene, vulgar, sexually-oriented, hateful, threatening, or otherwise violative of any laws.
Finally, it has been my understanding that APC has always operated under a policy that calling someone out as a scab is simply not allowed. It is not written down specifically as you seem to want it to be, but since the site opened the forums have operated under the understanding that posts calling out someone as a scab were not allowed. This is where this phrase in the rules applies:
The owners of Airline Pilot Central Forums reserve the right to remove, edit, move or close any thread for any reason.
Discussion OF scabbing is fine. Calling someone out as a scab is not.
In the future please PM myself or Vagabond to resolve these rule issues rather than hijack/derail a thread. A failure to do so will result in more than just this friendly warning.
