General Discussion / Re: VATSIM Discord Server
« on: April 06, 2017, 04:50:32 PM »The management and visibility comes from both Supervisors who are part of the facility as controllers and from the Administration (Senior Staff) at the ARTCCs, ATO, etc.
I.e. If a negative incident occurs between two controllers on TeamSpeak/Discord, and the Senior Staff think it warrants not only local disciplinary action but also VATSIM-level action, they can refer the case for post-factum investigation. If CoR 6.01(b)(9) did not exist, that would mean everything could only be handled on a local level. There are most definitely some things that can and should be escalated to a VATSIM suspension rather than just local action. Although local facilities are given a lot of discretion on policy and procedure, we must keep in mind that we are all part of VATSIM and all fall under the CoR, CoC, etc.
So, if local staff don't bring it up...?
CoR 6.01(b)(9) has a problem: It says any "computers utilized in any way by VATSIM.net members for communicating via text or voice for purposes of" blah blah. How does that account for shared hosting instances? Does that mean that my personal computer is now subject to the CoR/CoC? That's written in a broad way as a catch-all. It doesn't mean it's right nor should it be there.
