Ghosted for no reason

I was just at EGHH and got ghosted by the tower for no reason. All I did was stop before the hold short line and request to “Remain in the pattern.” Instead I just get ghosted. No transmission stating that no pattern work allowed.

Hi,
Contact the controller, which is @Chris_Keller, @Tyler_Shelton or @Mark_Denton for assistance, thanks :)

this was a mistake. they had Veuling A 320 on final to 26 while we were using 08. i gave him multiple follow instructions and pattern entries to which he did not follow. here’s what happened. as i went to report “ghost” the user, you requested takeoff simultaneously… that in turn highlighted your cursor when i reported instead of his. purely accidental with no mal-intent sir. i have already notified moderators on our IFATC chat to have it reversed. i am sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you.

There you have it. After 19,345,876 threads claiming it’s the case, we’ve found the first honest-to-goodness no-reason ghost.

Just the constant jumping around of planes on the strip, yeah.

Generally to avoid that, I click on the plane I want on the map and open Other Messages. I got tired of getting the wrong plane.

I have reversed the ghosting. Close out the app and relaunch. You will be back to your regular grade.
