I've been reading this thread, and as it seems the heading and altitude are drifting all over the place, I just have one simple question.  Instead of us acting like a bunch of lawyers, why not just good old common sense regardless if your a pilot, ATC, SUP, ADM, etc?

If a pilot fails to call ATC on some invisible border, simple, the ATC guy calls the pilot.  If the pilot is unresponsive, it's ATC's call to determine if this will cause a problem with other VATSIM members, and make a decision to monitor the guy, or wallop a SUP.  

Checking visibility ranges, unattended connections, etc, are all part of the Supervisors duties, and as such should not be viewed as a Gestapo act, but normal "back-office" work in an attempt to keep the network usage maximized.  The job of a Sup is to help pilots and controllers, and of course an administrator if it's deemed necessary to remove a member from the network due to disruptive activity.  

Again, I'm not a lawyer so common sense takes the trump card always!

Gentlemen,

Nice work Brian looks nice.

Question regarding the inividual ARTCC forums, although it's a nice gesture, as we have our own forums, can we get a re-direct back to our own site?

Thanks!
