    Flight Rising Trading section temporarily hidden.

    Hello, with the recent news of members being banned for making FR related transactions, I've decided to temporarily hide this forum section from public view until things are settled.

    Please, I'd like some input from the community here on what we should do moving forward.

    As much as this decision sucks. I totally get why we have to do this right now.

    Also, whoever the fuck thinks it's okay to blackmail buyers is the biggest piece of shit I've ever seen. How fucking dare you treat these people like this. All they've done is buy something for a video game. You're acting like they killed someone.

    Same with with the rest of you who have sold out players. You know who you are.

    Thanks for hiding the trading area for a while.

    As of recent FR-staff overhaul decisions (the whole Eye thing, Years of BS about never unretiring things, until they do) and new player handling tactics (stealth post and thread deletion and just straight up not actually addressing problems anymore), the place has changed considerably from how it used to be back in 2016 and not for the better.

    I certainly can't speak for anyone else who plays, but my interest in FR is pretty much shot, and this current blackmail/banning thing going on doesn't help. Not on the using CK side, but on the playing the game side. The game itself is headed in a direction where it's either going to go Big Brother on everything, or collapse on itself if enough people get bored with the lack of "stuff" to do or the tumblerites just making the place objectively unpleasant to play in. Personally, I have such little faith in the staff there that I'm starting to get reluctant to want to buy anything new, I don't trust them.

    Perhaps letting the FR trading forum here cool off for at least 8 months or so might help? People will have time to settle down, maybe we'll stop getting so many mentions in that damned drama blog. There are other places for trading that I haven't seen mention there, and maybe they'll go chase those for a while. I didn't like that we had so many sudden new members in the area and I know it was because of someone who couldn't help but brag on that blog. I really didn't want to trade too much with them around, because they were sooo many all of a sudden, it just felt like a storm waiting to happen. And now we've just had a big banwave.

    Much as I don't like it, I think we all need a break until we can figure out what that site is going to do.

    i'm happy that you decided to close it down for now. I am extremely upset about what happened and my love for the site is completely gone. Does anyone know who it was? was it a member selling stuff on here? was it a secret staff member? idk.. ;-; trying to catch up on all this

    The buyers' usernames were somehow found out and used to blackmail them, and others blackmailed the sellers. Total shitshow.

    I would suggest making the trading forum invite-only, with an application process. Sort of like the Adult subforum. Or maybe an exclusive discord server.

    Make it so people have to have x amount of itrader to be able to access flight rising forums and then make it only accessible to higher rank members.
    If it's still happening after that, it will be much easier to conduct an investigation to identify the person who is doing this.
    Ask for a list of usernames the victims have conducted business with, and keep that list. Eventually it will shrink down to one person.
