Angelica, I Would like you to call Me Douglas as you have clearly commented for myself to call you Angelica instead of Angel (although Sir calls you Angel). so you will refer to me as Douglas not Darryn Anyone else you can call me Darryn or whatever you want.

OK guys, whatever has taken place elsewhere is irrelevent.
But, as ageneral rule if anyone starts to cause trouble here, they'll simply have their post deleted by me and will hear from me. I'm confident there is no reason why anyone would feel the need to stir up trouble here though, we're a great froum as far as friendliness goes, and moderation has been very light. The only person I've ever moderated apart from the crazy foreign spammer is myself, for getting too carried away with political issues!
Darryn, that Karma thing is basically if you see someone making a good post and really like it, simply click 'Exalt' under their username on the left of the post. It adds one point to their Karma. If they make a bad post that you don't like or disagree with you can Smite them in the same manner, by clicking Smite. I don't know what happens then as I doubt anyone's been smited, but I assume it takes away a point from the total.

Sorry Angelica, I didn't mean to offend over past days with your name either, that was how you signed off in emails so I made an assumption. My mistake.
I have just seen what you mean about that thread where a certain young man was acting a bit immature and running up his rank - I didn't quite get what you meant before and thought you were referring to the 4 Sqn forum, not our own. I think I will do some moderate trimming of posts to clean it up a bit.
Please guys, rank in the board means little, and it comes much better by making sensible posts than by wastes of space that use up our webspace. Let's be a little more sensible in future, thanks. If you see any abuse of the forum in futre send me an email or Personal Message, thanks.

Oh no it's fine i just didn't want it to grow into a habit with cadets using angel as it is frowned upon in our unit (as one would expect). I wasn't trying to be disrespectful to douglas or do anything to hurt him i just had to do something as i didn't want 1. our sqns name to be tarnished and 2. the air training corps board taken away from its users simply because of someone seeking rank.

Post by Dave Homewood on Dec 18, 2005 23:01:57 GMT 12
No. I could decide whatever my rank or status was called, and I thought AVM was enough for me. Anything more is just a bit flashy. ;D And I wanted to be like my hero, AVM Sir Keith Park. Plus, AVM leaves three more rank lvels above me to take the flak if need be!

Post by dpdouglas on Dec 19, 2005 11:45:57 GMT 12

Man, you guys are obsessed with ranks - is that what it's all about in the ATC? hehe
No member's rank can go any higher than Group Captain, because that is all there is in the provision of rankings allowed by the board. It only gives me a certain number of spaces to make up my own rank titles.
So that is as high as you can acheive. You'll see some of our longstanding members such as Bruce, Corsair and Turbo hold that "rank" and always will.
I got to choose my own ranking status title of AVM because I am the webmaster and the system allows me as forum administrator to do much more than members can.
I have also seen the Keith Park display at the Auckland War Memorial, it is really impressive to see all his medals and uniform and other bits and pieces. He was a great supporter of the museum, and it was Park who arranged for their Spitfire to be donated by the RAF and brought out to NZ.
