Discord Rules

  • Discord Username Format
    Usernames on Discord should match the website, unless you have an assigned callsign then first name-calling is permitted.
  • Self-assigned roles have additional steps you must complete, such as checking the welcome channel pinned post. These must be completed before you gain full access.
  • Press-to-talk is the preferred method, however, voice activation is acceptable as long as it does not annoy members. If it does, you will find yourself in a press-to-talk group so you are forced to either use it or leave Discord.
  • If you do use voice activation then you are required to set the press to mute so when you talk to ATC or Pilots, we do not hear it; it gets annoying. And again, if we have to keep telling you to do this we will put you in the press to talk user group.
