NEG NAO Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 To be fair, it's mostly from the posters that just joined. I noticed alot of clutter from low-post posters alot during the last big snowstorm(s) we had. how many of those low post posters have multiple screen names ?

Rib Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Pretty much when giving PbP of the ECMWF state what the model says at a given hour and thats it. No "going to be HECS" or "this is flat as a pancake move on" posts. I can agree with that, more constructive model analysis would be a plus I agree. See, already making progress.

Rib Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 how many of those low post posters have multiple screen names ? Banned posters coming back under new screen names is a problem. If you think you see a banned poster using a different screen name, report the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRRTA22 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 how many of those low post posters have multiple screen names ? Good point. I was getting a hunch that people were creating multiple names to troll. We lasted a long time without the troll invasion of the internet, but I guess no one is safe from the big bad troll lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDMK6GLI Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I agree. See, already making progress. It would clean up the threads ALOT. If you add something to it, must be constructive and not weenie-ish. Goal is to keep it as professional as possible but some humor could be allowed just not excessive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goal is to keep it as professional as possible but some humor could be allowed just not excessive Humor is okay in small doses but it doesn't take much from a thread talking about the 0z ECMWF to a thread with pages of weenie jokes or some other type of "humor." Honestly, take the humor to the banter thread. That's why it's here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sickman Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I think you should And mine wasn't? I could have found a naked one of her but then that wouldn't be acceptable. You really think that was appropriate to post on the wx-side? That wouldn't even be appropriate in OT, let alone in a forum that's guest-viewable. You should be thankful I caught it right after you posted it, and before it got reported, and you didn't get warned and suspended. You, and a few others, need to think a little bit more about what you post. Not just pictures, but in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rib Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Sickman has a point. I think people need to ask themselves, especially in storm threads, "how will this post add to the discussion?" If it's nothing, maybe you should post it in the banter thread although I think one of the main problems is some people think their posts are actually adding to the discussion when they are actually making it worse.

Yep. A couple of weeks ago I made a comment about having to start a new thread on a (non)event that was still 5 days out. The mere fact that we got to 1,000 posts that quickly should have tripped off huge alarms for a lot of people here. Too much fluff, not enough substance.

jm1220 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I have way too many posts because I'm a big weenie and I was on Easternwx 24/7 before I got a job at CVS in 2008. I have been five posted 3 times. It smells like rain. He should teach me how he keeps his body in great shape It probably involves picking things up and putting them down.

NycStormChaser Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 you fill the board with crappy posts. it would be different if we had more meteorologists to balance it out but we don't Of course this post isn't the least bit crappy, right?

jm1220 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I agree with that. It's a pain b/c I have/had to cross over here to read ECM PBP since the PA forum doesn't have anyone for that, and I can't tell you how many times I saw "Hour X blah blah blah this is going to be way better!!!!" then "Hour Y blah blah blah no it's way worse". Doesn't psuhoffman or someone have early Euro access? I thought that was the case. Mostly you're probably looking out for times we're all upset at the Euro output anyway.

NEG NAO Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 I would for sure be around 1000 posts if I didn't delete alot of posts I made good point - I try and do that too in the storm threads - if I post any banter I go back after its read and delete it - in other words clean up your mess - will make the threads readable and take less time to read through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsentropicLift Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Yanksfan would flip a script if the 12z NAM's snow output verifies. I didn't even post about the 12z NAM because it looks completely lost at H5, despite the fact that it shows a quick 1-2" rainstorm still. If you haven't noticed, I've been rooting for rain all week. It's March 28th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't noticed, I've been rooting for rain all week. It's March 28th. Believe me, if ISP and LGA received 6" of snow and you received 0.00", you would be irate and completely lose it.

Stop pretending you aren't a severe snow weenie. I don't really care about the NAM showing a phantom 6" that will be gone in a day or two. It's when I'm smoking cirrus in February while Long Island is getting dumped on that I get flustered. But it's all part of the game. BTW it's March 28th and I still have a few small snow piles out here, win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your snow average is way higher than ours and you've had numerous snow events that were either mostly sleet or rain for Long Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly hope that all of Suffolk County catches a crazy band on the back side of the cutoff low on Monday and gets dumped on by 10" of snow. Even if I get 0, it would be funny seeing the reaction from Yanksfan and the other "inland" folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, it's a NY versus NJ thing. I've never liked the concept of a "New Yorker" and I don't appreciate how a lot of people from NY only see NJ as a wasteland of dumps and factories. It implies both arrogance and ignorance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
