Tropopause_Fold Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Because this for now anyway is a free forum on the web where folks have always been free to be themselves, talk wx and experience general comradery. Not a concentration camp with gas chambers for those deemed trouble makers just don't try and get people riled up with your posting and it'll be fine.

MaineJayhawk Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I can't believe this crap is being rehashed when Powderfreak stands a real chance to see flakes on Mansfield's summit next week. Priorities, people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I think the answer is simple. Just keep the toaster bath comments and casual sh*t in the banter thread. It doesn't mean the disco threads have to be in communist control, just the real banter stuff staying in the banter threads. Correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the problem is there are 2 mods that have been deleting posts from a banter thread. We keep it in the banter thread and it still gets deleted?

Hailstoned Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 "in combination with the catering to trolls mentality" (HM) As someone who's here often looking for insight into the weather as opposed to encountering a self-congratulatory old boy network, the inhouse, troll appeasing crapola here is truly off-putting. HM is right. The court jester here gets thrown too many bananas, and as long as he does, he'll keep performing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baroclinic Zone Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Overall I agree. But the problem is there are 2 mods that have been deleting posts from a banter thread. We keep it in the banter thread and it still gets deleted? Someone riddle me that My apologies, would you like for me to un-delete your riveting post that you just happened to rehash this AM? My reasoning for removing it last night was not becasue I dislike you, but to not create an issue between forums. I had no idea where the "other" posts were last night that you referenced and I went searching for them but could no locate them till this AM with the help of Adam. FYI, I had removed a couple other posts int the Philly forum referencing your post from last night too until it could be dealt with. We as mods aren't relegated to policing our own forums. If we see posts around the site that are against the rules or we feel should be removed, we do so. Also, a banter thread does not give free reign t post at will. You still need to follow the forum terms and conditions as well as basic forum rules. So anything that we deem offensive can/should/will be removed.

powderfreak Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 why? it doesn't have to be a big deal. YES it does! Can't tone anything down a bit without ripping out all the fun and becoming a communist slave camp. I think the answer is simple. Just keep the toaster bath comments and casual sh*t in the banter thread. It doesn't mean the disco threads have to be in communist control, just the real banter stuff staying in the banter threads. Yeah its not that hard. I am guilty of the same stuff that Tropopause and Forky were commenting on (I think most of us are) with trolling in response to just ridiculous or inane comments that really hold no weight. That's my pet peeve (the vague weather-related-but-not-overly-accurate posts meant just to stir the pot) and so we are bound to butt heads just like he is with everyone else it seems, lol. But its obvious that isn't going to change, so we need to learn to deal with it. Hopefully we can keep the "wheeeeeee" and "Deep winter/summer incoming" posts out of the "Discussion Thread." Or at least post a map or a model run with some analysis as to why that weather is coming or not coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, the deleted posts thread idea might be a real good idea of showing folks what type of posts get moved. I'm not saying move personal attacks or something in there (delete what you need to from the forum) but it would be nice to see what gets moved and why. I'm sure a pattern would develop over time.

I could see a guy like Will making tons of money in there. If I had some extra ching it would be fun to gamble in there, of course there are so many variables and socio economic forces too but in quiet world times ( are there any? it would be some fun) of course there are sites where you can bet on the weather too.
