Silhouette Challenge - Guidelines
Several players have mutually agreed on the following guidelines for this thread. These are largely designed to avoid “stalled” threads and to reflect a common sense approach.
1. The posted image should be a silhouette of a complete aircraft. Before posting please check the sticky, "What Cockpit and What Aerodrome latest lists" to make sure your proposed challenge has not been posted before.
2. Only the person who has set the challenge may confirm that someone has correctly identified the aircraft. That person should then post their own challenge or declare Open House.
3. Only post a challenge if you are able to remain onlineor periodically check the forum. If you know you are going to be offline for some time, in the interests of other forum participants please declare Open House
4. In the event that the person posting the challenge has not responded to a guess or question within 12 hours, or someone who was the winner of the previous challenge has not posted a new challenge within 12 hours (unless they have declared Open House) then the competition will be null and void and it will become Open House.
5. Remember that we have contributors who are on substantially different time zones, so don't expect immediate responses from Australia when it’s the afternoon in Europe!
6. If things are moving slowly then please progressively add clues so that people do not lose interest.
7. Please make sure that when submitting a challenge from your own sources there is some reference to it on the web, be it a photo, artists impression or 3-view.
8. Please exercise discretion regarding precise variants and even names of aircraft. A P-51 Mustang is good enough to identify a P-51K. Similarly a Rockwell Sparrow Commander is good enough to identify a Callair A-9, and so on.
Finally there is advice for posting images on the sticky “Image Posting on PPrune” but if anyone needs additional guidance please feel free to ask.
Remember this is a bit of fun, so enjoy the forum….!
