I’d say it’s smartest to post things that can’t be interpreted as libel lol

IP addresses can only be tracked to a general location. If the person is smart they would also use virtual private networks. Ascent would also need to take proper legal steps to get the Vertical adminstrators to release any of that Information. Hopefully their safety reports turn out to be legit.

If they were even smarter, they would NOT use a venue like this to slag companies, individuals, etc.... I mean, come on... are you a professional or not... 😒

It’s definitely not the place, those types of accusations/disputes should be handled between parties personally (in or outside of litigation).  Public forums should be used in constructive informative discussion for which they are intended.

Well that's a shame, it was a good avenue to discuss one of the biggest changes to Canadian rotary wing aviation in years. Did this really happen because we hurt someone's feelings?

 

Also, who doesn't use a VPN and a burner email address? 🤨

I didn't actually mean to quote this but it got stuck and I gave up trying to delete it.

I could be wrong, as I am not affiliated with vertical or a moderator, but the last few posts from a new member were some pretty serious allegations.  
The people accountable to this forum as well as the owners of vertical itself probably have a threshold for what is an acceptable post.  Making unfounded serious allegations probably crosses several lines.
I think any forum would have deleted those comments at the very minimum.   I don’t think they’d delete a new thread on the bc medevac topic if it wasn’t abused, but maybe the topic is now off limits?

A case certainly could have been made to censor those posts, however deleting the whole thing seems like overkill.

 

 

Posts talking about how the COVID vaccine caused a crash get left up though.

A vpn doesn’t make you completely anonymous.  Device fingerprinting and cookies are another way to be tracked.

True, but much more difficult.

 

Probably also helps that BC has anti-SLAPP legislation. Although the discovery phrase of any lawsuit sure would be fun...

Nothing about a lawsuit is fun (for either side). Anyone that takes pleasure in them is a psychopath by the very definition.  Discovery is exactly where the types of allegations that were posted should be if it got to that point, not unvetted on a public forum.

Ya and that topic is getting a bit far off course from the vertical flight world lol
