Lately there have been an excessive number of pointless crafts and forum posts that are solely thanking the community for upvotes. This has started to detract from the site, and as a result these types of posts will now be considered spam and removed by moderators.
These posts could also be considered begging for points and/or gaming the points system, both of which are expressly against the rules.
Please have fun, build things, share things, upvote things you think are cool or useful, and do not obsess about the points.
@MansBestFriend people are welcome to release their crafts whenever they want. So if somebody wants to post a legitimate craft when they reach a particular points milestone I take no issue with that, nor with a note in the description, nor with markings on the craft. What I do take issue with is crafts pots and forum posts that have no redeeming value and are just 1) colored rectangles, 2) reposts of old crafts, or 3) would otherwise be considered spam/junk in the absence of the "thanks for the points" flare. For an example here is an older post that I wouldn't have removed because it was a totally new, legitimate aircraft that happened to have a "thank you for the points" (referring to a previously reached milestone) in the title (and didn't have any other points begging behavior like a bunch of tags).
That said I still think this is a silly thing to do, and while I won't delete such things I continue to encourage everybody to refrain from obsessing about points.
Point system isn't cool xD.
You should get +1 for each downloads without a notification..
I see some posts which have less downloads but quite high upvotes.
And some have quite high downloads but less updoootes.
So I (don't) hope it will be added soon..
Don't because I guess developers, mods and all don't go through suggestions sometimes..
Rest thing is damn good
ok
@sflanker
Thanks for the info
@KnightOfRen these sites are moderated independently, so this doesn’t officially apply there as far as I know. However the spirit of this policy still applies.
@sflanker Is this the same for SimplePlanes.com? Sorry, I've done a few on SP in the past

@sflanker oh ok I'll romove it and re upload it.
@DOGOSPACE Technically, I did not remove your post. However, I believe the feeling was that your craft did not represent a serious effort and that it was posted merely as click/upvote bait. If you were to re-upload the craft with a title that is not is not "thanks for the points" clickbait my guess is that it would not get removed.
@sflanker y u rumove my rocket that's not fair I'm not trying to be rude I just want to know y
Y just y?
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssss!finaly someone mention it.
Oh okay I understand. I just wanted to make sure @sflanker
Wait does this include when you reach a milestone like when someone gets to 10k, but they only make something for that milestone? @sflanker
Have to say sorry for contributing to this. I saw it a ton, and thought I should as well. Could almost consider it pressure to do it as well, especially as a smaller creator a few months ago.
About time someone steps up about this,thank you
No hard feelings toward anybody who as made such posts. We didn’t have any guidance before now and earlier on the posts were infrequent and amusing. We’ve just gotten to a point where it’s time we outgrew these.
I feel bad as though I may have started this trend. Sorry everyone.
I will upvote and give you points for this post. XD
Seriously though, THANK YOU for this.
YEESS thanksss finnaly
isn't this like the jelly ban or somethin'?
Long days without a face
With nothing more to say
Closed in your silent room
Waiting for better days
When the night is coming
There's nothing more to do
She comes walking in silence
Always dressing in blue
Your heartbeat seems to fade
Don't runaway anymore (ooh woa ooh oh oh)
Your anger burns inside
That's not the life you ask for (ooh woa ooh oh oh)
This is the wind of change
There's nowhere to go (nowhere to go)
No time, no place to hide
Anywhere in the world
REFRAIN:
You can get, you can get what you want
Life is so strange and so full of desires
Day by day, try to follow your way
The wind of change is burning out the fire
Out the fire is burning, out the fire
The wind of change is burning out the fire
You can get, you can get what you want
Life is so strange and so full of desires
Don't waste your time again
Too many years have gone (woa ooh oh oh)
You are lying in the dark
Open yourself to the sun (woa ooh oh oh)
This is the wind of change
There's nowhere to go (nowhere to go)
No time, no place to hide
Anywhere in the world
You can get, you can get what you want
Life is so strange and so full of desires
Day by day, try to follow your way
The wind of change is burning out the fire
Out the fire is burning, out the fire
The wind of change is burning out the fire
You can get, you can get what you want
Life is so strange and so full of desires
Oooohhh thanks
epic
About time.
