What I meant by snobbery was just people thinking they are superior because they fly 'DCS' aircraft and looking down on the people who prefer to fly the FC series aircraft. I've seen quite a bit of that - even right here on SimHQ forums.
I think you are somehow very much misunderstanding what I said. If you look in the last paragraph I say that quite clearly (well I think it is, anyway
).
The bit about forums is that I don't actually think it is just anti-social, but also counter-productive to advertise a virtual squadron and when someone comes along just to have a look and see what it's all about, they find that they can't even read a single thread without having to apply for 'priviliges' first.
If such squadrons would allow people to view the posts - or at least have a 'public' section, it would allow people to form an opinion and would prevent a lot of the 'rejects' that you are refering to, imho.
I wouldn't dream of applying to squadron that I can't do even a basic check on, first.
TBH it looks to me like you are talking of something else entirely.
