Moderators- Can I include my Facebook page or YouTube channel in posts from time to time?

The title speaks for itself- just looking for some clarity after reading the code of conduct. If you’re not sure, can you ask someone before answering, just to be certain?

Thanks much,

John

I post my youtube videos from time to time depending on the context of the post. Usually when I want to show something how I do things, or if anyone has similar problems that I have. And I use my youtube video as evidence for everyone to see and analyse.

As long, as your post meets the CoC, there shouldn’t be a problem to post / promote your youtube channel. When it comes to facebook, I am not quite sure. The CoC doesn’t allow to share personal information, if you are linking your private facebook profile, it is possibly violating the rules of the forums.

Great, thanks for your reply- Sometimes I cobble together some YouTube videos that could be helpful/useful/relevant in here so I wanted double check. Thanks for clarifying about Facebook too.

Great! I’ve been thinking along similar lines- I have a lot of time to fly and troubleshoot so, why not?

What’s your channel, or would you rather PM me?

Shouldn’t be a problem if you adhere to the Code of Conduct - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums regarding personal information (so not a direct link to a personal facebook page, but people often share youtube videos):

:small_blue_diamond:Distribution of Real-Life Personal Information

The release or distribution of any real-life information is not allowed in your profile or anywhere public, even your own.

If a member is found to have participated in such actions, they will:

  • Be banned from the forums for a length of time based on the severity of the infraction up to and including, indefinitely
