I have a questions for these so called captains ????  What war did you serve in and what merit did you accomplish to get to become a captain?  If you are a captain then that means what?  Your better than me or rest of us? You get special privileges ?  I didn't think so!    All I know is DJI needs to wtfu and fix all these issues  with updates  & firmware issues and  have better customer service as captains , sargents or chief petty officers  I dont care  somone needs to get the lead out of there china a$$ and do something !

Technically speaking my rank is higher than Capt, however, as you pointed out I too could care less about that moniker, dji bestowed it upon us, based on nothing more than doing this...I'm hear to learn about dji uavs and the like...but admittedly I do find some, not all, of these type threads extremely amusing.  You wanna change DJI then I suggest you learn to articulate your points clearly and work within the system they have, it is their company, and if you can't then seek counsel from the professionals...but don't kid yourself that anything you do here like this is going to matter.

Now, let's see...there is the Cold war, served 4 yrs on alert
Then Desert Storm, Southern Watch, OEF, and OIF
...and sat cockpit alert on 911 for 12 hours
NONE of which matters a hill of beans here, and especially this BS thread, and it certainly gives me no authority, power, or influence with dji...but if it makes you feel better...
That enough for ya Spanky, of course you can dispute this and you probably will; if that's the case then I would refer you back to your comment #18 and tell you to take your own advice on that.

Well said noflyzone69, these captains no it all and no nothing

UHm this is the spelling police
I must cite you for misspelling 'know' TWICE and NO I don't care if you care that I care how you spelled it as I have NO interest in hearing your opinion on that, but I'm sure you will let me KNOW it anyway.

Next thing is accusing a captain of being paid by DJI

You mean we are NOT

Aardvark Posted at 2018-2-1 07:48
All contributors are paid by DJI, posts equals points, and points equals DJI credit at one US Dollar per 180 points. Hardly a fortune (p.s you've just racked up 2.222 Cents worth :-) ).

OH yeah we are paid...but we don't make any more as Caps than the new guys...gee is that fair
After all it seems to matter to some of these folk here...

Thanks for you voice of reason Aardvark, as always a pillar of the community

the problem is in believing that we are free

There not trying to keep you quite, they just moved your thread to service, I think that’s were it belongs , after all it is a service issue, getting banned is not going to help your case , it’s also not going to cause any difficulties for dji, you will be just another statistic who shot himself in the foot.

Well that was 5 minutes of my life I’m not going to get back reading through this thread. To the OP, you would be better starting threads and discussing the specific issues you have,  random rants very rarely get much done.

Thanks for that. I was worried the 'non captains' would find out
Now I'm going to enjoy my jacuzzi that I have just bought from my captain's wage

I agree on that, but I have a feeling that won't happen.

Remind me why I always buy a large popcorn and halfway down the tub all I want to do is throw it away.

Well I’m going to leave you smart asses to play with each other because your doing a great job of making me and others laugh and I have other forums where I can bash DJI and have fun, so to hell with the whole bunch I know you’ll be glad, Bitches

Impressive

Interesting thread - still none the wiser as to what it was all about . Guess this must be the place to come to throw the dolly out of the push chair

This captain's here are made by software algorithm.  I give a hump for their words. Off course DJI don't like getting bad wind in this forum. And off course free speech is not Wellcome.
BUT
Its our free will who makes usbuy this cre or not. If enough say " enough"  .. May dji will start to listen.. or is choosing the path of Nokia. Down the hill in pride.

Every month we have new restrictions to fly, on top the fancy firmware who makes all worse.  This toy should make fun...or there is an other one. I don't like spend money and get a booth in my ass.

Tell us what restrictions were put on you or your aircraft, because none on mine.

Height, airports. So u don't have..funny "captain"

T-R Posted at 2018-2-2 02:46

There have been no restrictions put on height by dji, when you purchased your aircraft it was 500metres, , you can’t fly drones at airports unless with permission from CAA and ATC, this is not a dji restriction,
So I guess your answer is none.

5 minutes of my life I'll never get back.


@ Hallmark - liking the quote in post#62.

Maybe this thread should be retitled - I'm throwing my teddies out the cot.

Duke123.  You lost any credibility in your arguement, the moment you started cursing and swearing, and trying to put down those who don't agree with your point of view.

Put yourself in DJI's shoes as it were.  Would you listen to someone who comes across swearing, cursing - all the while not telling us what the problem was in the first place?

Rigger73, I'm sorry for the things I said but I'm just fed up with DJI crap customer service all this started over another thread about a controller of mine they kept and would not return, I'm not going to get back in to all that thread, but again I'm sorry this got out of control.

I said A$$$ kiSSSing

No you didn't you said:

"Its funny  ALL captains are nothing but captains of A## kissing !"

In my point of view you're just a chicken since you have to mask out what you try to say in this free world of speaking.
And so far you sound like the biggest asshole in this thread!

Duke / Chris,

It's an unfortunate event that has caused this, and possibly an expensive one for you on top.

Main thing is to learn from it.

Can you do anything differently in the future to ensure you will get your parts back?

Never assume things - if in doubt - check - and check again.

Always always read the small print too.  You never seen South Park episode regarding Apple T&C's? ;0)


If I were in your shoes, I'd maybe eat a bit of humble pie and apologise to those you vehemntly disagreed with.




I'm sure they are big enough to accept an apology in good faith with no ridicule and we can all move on, like the adults we are.

Rigger73 Posted at 2018-2-2 09:59
Duke / Chris,

It's an unfortunate event that has caused this, and possibly an expensive one for you on top.

Completely agree, I know of very few, if any, that want to see someone loose a drone or get the shaft from DJI.  I believe most here want to help if they can and others just try to learn or bounce ideas and their art and work off fellow droners.
It usually only starts to go side ways when folks start throwing names at one another or making outlandish statements without any details to support their comment or point.
If you look at my early postings here, I did try to get that idea across, albeit it was not well received and maybe my delivery was not the best but it was already on its way to sideways before that.
Lastly, I am a staunch advocate of Free Speech, I committed my adult life to defending that right, and I remain committed to it today.  However, as noted here, there are limits to it, sadly, as DJI decides what's on their forum, like it or not.  However, they do demonstrate a certain tolerance, at times, as they let this thread roll on even being off topic, if there ever really was one.  
So, it comes down to what was the point...now that I better understand it I am sorry to hear about Duke's issue, can't advise him on what to do but this thread was never going to fix it even if it was better focused on the problem.  Although it could have better informed everyone on what the problem was/is.  
I wont deny that this has been fun and funny, but it was not meant to be at the expense of someone's loss or to kick anyone why they are down, sorry if that was the case from my standpoint.
There are others here that should spend a bit more time knowing what it is to be here and what it means to be here.  Especially over this rather laughable issue of captains.  From everything I know there are no captains here that are on DJI's payroll other than the points we've earned which is a greater motivator for me than what name they give me.  They need to consider that the captains that are here, for the most part, are true hobbyists or pros with a great deal of experience and have been around long enough to have built the points to gain that moniker, nothing more.  Now not all are that way, some, like myself, are very new to all this.  I've only been here since September of last year, but I have spent a lot of time reviewing things and commenting, obviously, and in short order well here I am.  I make no bones about it either, I'll tell you if I don't know something and I generally don't poke my nose in to something if I don't know what I'm talking about unless I have a question about it.  I also have learned who is who here as far as who does know what they are talking about and I'll tell you that if they have not already weighed in on it.  Not everyone has great bedside manners here, and maybe forums bring out the worst in some, but most will help if you are willing to ask and listen to what they have to say, but you only have to do what you want in the end it is your property.
Good day and Fly Safe!
