Deck Pic Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 It didn't hurt me...just pointing out how lame it is that the staff just rolled over and let you do your thing. They look totally spineless. I made a valid point...people were foaming at the mouth for long track EF-4's/5's to hit highly populated areas....How is that trolling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k*** Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Just because you don't realize it doesn't mean I wasn't moderating. If you moderate in the forest and no one is there to see it or be influenced by it, are you really moderating? You act liek the only arrow in your quiver is deletion. Try being proactive. Make a big deal up front about how people have to post better and knock off the OMG's, and they will decrease...dramatically. I just thought it was odd that no one stepped in and gave some gentle guidance on how to post better, despite the fact that there was almost always a handful of staff in the thread when all of this was going down.

That seems like an OT sort of topic-- not for the actual discussion in a wx thread. You icep*ssies always need to moralize Re: others' wx interests. Y'all see snow as so benign.

Deck Pic Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 True true - snow and ice kill more people each year than tornadoes! And the $$ add up with winter storms, as well Long threads on that before - here and on other forums. yet we openly root for the "worst" without guilt and you guys don't....why is that?

Ian Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Maybe people's perceptions of things would have been different with a little bit more active moderation by the staff? Maybe then we wouldn't have had 6 pages of OMG. A stickied thread was made and the weenies (many of whom I've never seen in an outbreak thread) rushed in...of course that's going to tilt the expectations in an unreasonable direction. i think in an outbreak situation there needs to be a seperate commentary thread.. there was definitely a time where it was hard to talk weather here. i would not have announced people should come to this thread myself. the goal should never be to pack 400 people in one spot.

huronicane Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Survey results for some of the Oklahoma tornadoes: http://www.srh.noaa.gov/images/oun/wxevents/20110524/05241625-PNSOUN.txt Storm 2 should be a 4, and not just because ELRE mesonet site took a glancing blow and recorded a 151 gust. I think the same for Storm 4. That storm wiped the houses right off the foundations, but I'm not sure that they were built strongly enough for it to be a 5. I didn't see a lot of Storm 3, but after seeing video of a whole trailer home being flung from the tornado...Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewxmann Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Ah nice. Pretty much as I expected... at least two ought to get EF4 in later updates. The 75 mi path length is pretty impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and in fact I thought that it was grounds for 5 posting at least (unless one is one of the perfumed elite). Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
