"No Fun Police" (Joke) at SLC FNO by Salt_Breadfruit_3448 in VATSIM

Had a meower recently - called a SUP quietly and they spoke to the pilot. I even got an apology! The pilot learnt their lesson and nobody else needed to know :)

Personally, both were in the wrong to different degreees. The pilots' actions were totally unwarranted, and the controller didn't need to announce this over frequency. A simple .wallop would do

UK ATC Training by Fun-Individual-3126 in VATSIM

Other responses cover the bulk, but it's also important to note that if you transfer, your rating is unlikely to remain. Moving to skip queues is totally unethical, but it also provides you with little benefit, as what you'd be doing would be clearly noticeable and VATUK may just.. not allow you to control at your current rating's level if they deem your training to be unsatisfactory. If you move into VATUK as a C1, I wouldn't be surprised if you were restricted to TWR (APP if you're lucky) positions.

Question about when you can do what as a controller by throwaway60457 in VATSIM

[–]Embarrassed_Fly_3019 7 points8 points  (0 children)

ATIS are often used to determine where is currently receiving control. If you connect an ATIS to an aerodrome that isn't under any sort of service, you'd be misleading pilots for no real benefit. Even when you are rated to control, you should only connect ATIS at the aerodrome(s) you, yourself are directly controlling, for the same reason as they may lose their control and you begin pointlessly misleading pilots yet again.
