Pilot rules.

1. Communicate respectfully

Treat pilots, staff and external network users with courtesy. Harassment, discrimination, threats, impersonation and deliberately disruptive conduct are prohibited.

2. Keep operations honest

Do not falsify flight records, manipulate telemetry, exploit economic calculations, duplicate bookings, share accounts or gain ranks and awards dishonestly. Report simulator faults rather than concealing them.

3. Protect the platform

Do not bypass security controls, introduce malicious code, scrape excessively, access another pilot’s information, or disclose private account and operational data without permission.

4. Appropriate content

Profile names, biographies, avatars and messages must be lawful, suitable for a general community and owned by you or used with permission. Real airline marks must not imply official affiliation.

5. Network flying

When using VATSIM or IVAO, follow that network’s rules as well as Stratus standards. Network enforcement remains separate from Stratus administration.

6. Enforcement

Responses may include warnings, content removal, flight rejection, temporary suspension or account closure according to severity and history. Security concerns may require immediate action.
