Comparing us to SNE is absurd. What’s also absurd is trying to make a small private weather board some sort of referendum on society as a whole. Government owes it to the citizenry to be transparent due to the fact it’s for the people, by the people. If this board and its owners chose to make everyone change their name to a number they owe you no explanation. It’s their board. You CHOSE to be a part of it.
You seem to have a certain notion as to what’s owed to you by the people who volunteer to moderate this sub forum. These people are tying to make it manageable for ALL that post here, not one or two people. Over the years the comments from most members is for more information and less clutter when storms approach. The people like yourself who seem to complain the most are the ones who just can’t accept that less blah blah blah and more info from red taggers and others well versed in this helps more than it hurts. There is another thread called banter for that purpose. To complain that it’s an extra click to go from one place to chat to another place to read smacks of..well...laziness
i doubt you and I will ever agree on this. I see moderation at times as needed because people can’t control themselves. We see that time and time again here and in society as a whole. Sometimes that moderation will hit a member and they won’t like it. It is attempted to be applied as evenly as possible. The mods are doing this to help the board. There’s no fame or glory.
If it bothers you so much to make this a never ending topic with you then you have every right not to be here. To stay at a place that upsets you as much as it seems to doesn’t seem the best thing to do IMO
