Ryan Lorefice Posted October 25, 2019 at 10:44 PM Posted October 25, 2019 at 10:44 PM I had a guy asking in a discord if someone could take his slot and he asked money for it. Is that even allowed considering that other slots are free and first come first serve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Shearman Jr Posted October 25, 2019 at 11:07 PM Posted October 25, 2019 at 11:07 PM Definitely not. Code of Regulations, section 1.01, paragraph B. Might want to let him know before he gets a nice network ban for his trouble. https://www.vatsim.net/sites/default/files/docomeents/VATSIM%20-%20Code%20of%20Regulations%20%28Finalv1%29-Jul19_1.pdf Cheers, -R.

Robert Shearman Jr Posted October 25, 2019 at 11:24 PM Posted October 25, 2019 at 11:24 PM Well you presumably also know his Discord screen name. But it's best not to post that here. You might just DM him on Discord and give him a heads-up that it's against the rules. Maybe if he was aware of that, he'd just give up the slot. I'm not sure who should handle it but possibly vpsup (at) vatsim (dot) net ... if you contact him, include screenshots if possible. Cheers, -R.

Ryan Lorefice Posted October 25, 2019 at 11:25 PM Author Posted October 25, 2019 at 11:25 PM Ok ill give that a shot. His discord profile shows account linked with a name too so hopefully that'll make it easier for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Geckler Posted October 25, 2019 at 11:27 PM Posted October 25, 2019 at 11:27 PM FWIW, there's no such slot time for those fields...

Ryan Lorefice Posted October 25, 2019 at 11:31 PM Author Posted October 25, 2019 at 11:31 PM Well i'll report it anyway as theres a name and a pair of airports so they could probably find that person. If not then ill talk to the admin of the said discord server. Thank you for that information though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nestor Perez Posted October 26, 2019 at 12:18 AM Posted October 26, 2019 at 12:18 AM I don't know what's worst: If the fact that people think about asking for money for a slot, or the fact that someone would actually pay for it :facepalm: Me.

Board of Governors Don Desfosse Posted October 26, 2019 at 12:34 AM Board of Governors Posted October 26, 2019 at 12:34 AM Néstor, the answer to your question is YES.... I've heard of people scalping fake World Series, World Cup, and Superbowl tickets before, but scalping fake CTP slots is a new one! And, should it be proven, a mistake that could likely cost the person their ability to fly during CTP tomorrow....

Matthew Bartels Posted October 26, 2019 at 12:15 PM Posted October 26, 2019 at 12:15 PM Not only for that violate VATSIM’s rules, it’s downright disgusting to think about. VATSIM is free for all, including CTP. It’s not there for individuals to profit. On a side note, how did we arrive at a place where having a CTP slot is so valuable? I just don’t get it. If you don’t get a slot fly the non event route You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. Forever and always "Just the events guy" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
