Yes. Freedom of speech exists here, within reason. Slurs, swears, spam, etc. are not allowed.

i submitted something to the features category recently about ATC comms. No swears or slurs. All within the parameters. Yet…They haven’t approved it? (I have had an interesting history with IFATC)
How recent was it? Did it follow all the Features category rules? Was it a duplicate?
3 days ago, Yes and No
It depends on what the feature request was, I don’t think it should matter what happened in the past with IFATC.
I would suggest sending a dm over to the moderators if the topic still doesn’t show as pending

Meh not really
No it doesn’t but they also aren’t an American compliant based in the US so
There’s freedom of speech here, as long as it’s IF related and you don’t start insulting people.
Depends.

Making Freedom of Speech as a feature request would be next level humor 🤣

With your logic schools and homes for the elder shouldnt have freedom of speach
Freedom of speech protects you from the government coming down on you for what you say, IFC is privately owned and has their own rules. I also think IF Isn’t even US based so there’s that too
This isn’t some cult following, you can have any opinion you want (just don’t post anything that is created specifically to violate or harm someone’s rights in any way), as long as you’re on-topic with that specific category.
woah. Who the hell said anything about cults
I see we’ve derailed quickly so let’s get something straight:
From the Guide to the Community topic
Freedom of speech, as defined under the first amendment of the United States of America, protects people from government censorship. The Infinite Flight forum is a forum operated by a private company, and you sign up to it by agreeing to the terms of service. This permits Staff to have the ability to set the parameters of what is and isn’t considered acceptable in a discussion, on profiles, and in other spaces on the IFC.
I like to think that many of us on here are free to express our opinions on various things (related to Infinite Flight itself). Many have shown dissatisfaction with updates in the past (for whatever reason), and unless they’re blatantly rude and don’t follow the guidelines set out for the community, they typically don’t get removed. In fact, the staff/devs will often reply to criticism, questions, etc.
@FoJosiah as for your said topic, just because it was denied for whatever reason it was, I wouldn’t be jumping to some conclusion that there’s a lack of free speech. As some have suggested, if you ever have a concern with one of your topics, reach out to the mod team. We’re happy to clarify any decisions we make. :)
Tl;DR: Freedom of speech does not apply to the IFC as Infinite Flight LLC is a private company, which by signing up, you’ve agreed to the ToS.
We’re not here to take down every bit of criticism you throw our way, but we will take down post/topics accordingly that do not follow the rules and serve little to no benefit to a proper discussion to be had.
Mod inbox is always open. Have a great rest of your Sunday, everyone!
